As the final flickering remnants of Karaba's armed forces quietly evacuate from the doomed industrial hubs in China, the massed armies following under Bask Om's command spread out across Asia, mauraduing and slaughtering any element vaguely appearing to hold anti-Titan sentiments.

>Titan Commander: Sir, fighting has broken out between our forces and a garrison in South East Asia! I tried to call for a cease fire, but the unit is insisting that this attack is under your orders-
>Bask: If they told you that, then why are you wasting my time?
>Titan Commander: I know the men stationed in this region! They are not AEUG supporters! Whatever lead to this attack order being given, you have to call it off! For gods sake Bask, Mobile Suits have been reported opening fire on villages without any provacation! Do you have any idea how this will be perceived?!
>Bask: Come. Right at my side.

Cautiously approaching the side of Bask Om, the aged Officer is mortified as numerous heinous images flash across the terminal on Bask desk. From buildings being looted, to women and children being subjected to untold horrors, to inhuman acts of murder, the Officer finds himself overwhelmed by the horrific sights.

>Titan Commander: W-what is all of this? Why do you have-
>Bask: All of these images were captured less than an hour ago. Do you have any idea what is behind these...indiginities? Spacenoids. Refugees of the One Year War that the Federation so carelessly allowed to infest the Earth. Illegals that were allowed to freely conduct themselves like this...
>Titan Commander: What does this have to do with us opening fire on our allies?!
>Bask: The Federation has rotted from within. Karaba was not born overnight...it grew out from the resentment and plotting of the defeated and scornful of the One Year War. In the Federations weakness, they allowed themselves to be compromised by the very same kind of animals you see before you.

Monitoring selective cases of savagery and barbarism, Ameria's modified Pixie Gundam retracts its wired observation pod, its recorder filled with footage to be edited and utilized to continue her own goals. Emerging from a camafloged cloak, her Pixie boosts atop a ruined town, her modified beam knives shifting into the shape of pistols as she fires down on the perpetrators of the riots. Staring down to the molten hot craters littering the town from her attack, Ameria licks her lips as she settles back into her seat. As she observes civllian survivors of the attack meekly approaching the site of the craters, some would break out into relieved cheers, while others would begin screaming their damnations towards the Pixie, horrified at their loved ones being caught in the crossfire of her attack.

>Ameria: Their voices are so annoying. Doctor, it would take forever to round up whatever is left here. It is obvious that even if they aren't all spacenoids, they are just detriments.
>Director Robins: A relief team will arrive there shortly to take care of what is left. Disengage and continue to ensure no ambushes are made against Colonel Om.
>Ameria: How much longer do you expect me to be his babysitter-

A bullet ricochets against the Pixie's armor, causing Ameria to find one of surviving looters holding a child hostage.

>Looter: Listen up, Federal! Make one wrong move, and i'll call for this entire backwater to leveled! We have a gun emplacement ready to turn this entire place into a-

Ameria fires her beam pistol into the distance, hitting the hidden missile truck hiding within the jungle.

>Looter: Y-you knew it was there-
>Ameria: Mine is bigger than yours~.

Without a moment of hesitation or regret, Ameria targets each standing structure in the town, annihilating everything in sight until all that remains are smoldering, molten-hot craters.

>Ameria: Better to be remembered as victims than to live on as burdens.

Hell yeah. We are so back.

Bask is probably going to basically reduce every territory on Earth to a worthless burning pile one by one. He already wrecked Jaburo and Beijing and shows no signs of stopping. Still, we really have got to head to the moon first.

>Pezun Commander: He was acting independently?
>Tosh: Captain Pashuray's intentions were likely to garner support for a transfer to the Titans.
>Pezun Commander: Even so, Captain Cod's reaction to his movements were...abnormally swift. Have any of the others from the Instructor Corps shown any oddities?
>Tosh: Frustrations, perhaps. Beyond that, nothing out of the ordinary.
>Pezun Commander:...I see. I appreciate the report, Captain Cray. That young man you recommended for the Xeku's testing...Josh, was it? If required, will he be combat ready?
>Tosh: Do you expect an incident with detaining that Titan Officer?
>Pezun Commander: I don't like that only one of their ships docked. That new vessel from the Gryps sector just pulled out without any notification...if it is working in conjunction with Brave and those who have adopted his stance, we may be fighting on two fronts.
>Tosh: I have already taken precautions for such a scenario.
>Pezun Commander: Of course you have. With any luck, there will be no need for you to act.

Returning from the isolated dock, Mike Saotome gives a short salute to the Commanding Officer of Pezun and Tosh.

>Tosh: If there is nothing else, I will be returning to my duties.

As Tosh prepares to leave, Mike blinks his right eye at him, causing the pilot instructor to close his eyes in acceptance for what is soon to come.

>Pezun Commander: Will any of the crew aboard that ship resist?
>Mike: As you surmised, Jerid Messa is commanding them through fear. Once we have him detained, the others aboard will stand down without incident.
>Pezun Commander: Did he reveal any of his allies?
>Mike: Pashuray, as you also predicted.
>Pezun Commander: Not Cod as well? There is no way he could be organizing to this degree with just-
>Mike: Everything will fall into place once he is captured, sir.
>Pezun Commander:...You are absolutely right. If his allies attempt to make a move, you will be the first to know of it.

Having drained himself from his long-winded berating of the Barzam's design, Kamille finds himself anxiously biting at his thumb, still deeply bothered by the shift in Leila's personality. Without warning, Four sticks her thumb near Kamille's face, causing him to flinch back in confusion.

>Kamille: Four, the heck are you-
>Four: Why do you do that? It just made my thumb hurt.
>Kamille: Huh? Y-your thumb-

Seeing an imprint of Four's front teeth on the edge of her thumb, Kamille grabs her wrist, holding her hand in place as he looks over the bite mark.

>Kamille: You broke the skin on it. Come on, lets get something to cover-

Four takes Kamille's wrist similarly, holding it to inspect the similar nibble mark on his thumb.

>Four: Oh, I was being to rough. Is it supposed to help your focus, or-
>Kamille: It is a nervous habit, alright? It serves no purpose other than just...it just...
>Four: Makes you feel better?
>Kamille: Not really.
>Four:...Feel like sparring?
>Kamille: Not now-
>Four: Feel like doing that workout you and Leila were doing?
>Kamille: Workout? We never-

Realizing the exact implication of Four's words, Kamille tries to stammer out an excuse, only for Four to playfully chuckle at his mild panic in trying to explain himself.

>Kamille: F-Four, that isn't some kind of exercise, it is...uh-
>Four: S-E-X. Miss Namicar said a man and women does it after they hold hands long enough. She also said something about going to dinners, seeing movies, getting cheated on-don't really understand what "getting cheated on" means, but it made her upset and she stopped wanting to talk about it. Honestly, we are already holding hands, so I don't mind skipping the dinner and movie part about-

Seeing Kamille's face growing more red by the moment, Four can't help but burst into a fit of laughter as she slips her hand out from his grip.

>Four: Kidding~!
>Kamille: You...!
>Four: It helped take your mind off Leila for a little bit, right?

C-c-cute retards~ Fa and Jerid are cute too. Lots of cute incredibly autistic sex this game.

Kamille lets out an annoyed groan, leaning back into his seat.

>Kamille:...I screwed up so much-
>Four: You are thinking way to much. Come on, lets just do...anything other than just sitting around here.
>Kamille: I just need time to be alone right now-
>Four: No you don't-

Kamille smacks the table in front of him as he shoots up from his seat in frustration. Playfully hopping back, Four moves herself into a self-taught karate stance, ready to spar with Kamille in his frustrated state.

>Four: Let do it! Until you are back to normal!

Just as Kamille's fist begins to clench, he is reminded of Leila and Fa, with both of their scared expressions from being struck by him. As flashes of Franklins private behavior with Hilda burn into his immediate thoughts, Kamille slumps down to the floor. Unsure of how to process Kamille's outward emotions, Four takes a seat on the floor with him, grasping his hand and firmly holding onto it.

>Four:...Do whatever makes you feel better. I just hate seeing you like this, Kamille.
>Kamille:...I just want-
>Jerid: Kamille!!

Startled by the intensity in Jerid's voice, Kamille is caught off guard as the Titan nearly lunges into the room to approach him.

>Kamille: W-whoa, Jerid-
>Jerid: It was the bastards running this base! If not for them, I could have crushed the AEUG! They are planning on killing me to garner credit with those spineless traitors running the Senate on Earth! Kamille, we need to act! I need you to-

Jerid's eyes shift to Four, his look growing more manic and rage filled by the moment.

>Jerid: Why are you looking at me like that?
>Four: Some of those words...didn't come from you.
>Jerid: What is that supposed to mean?
>Kamille: What is all of this about, Jerid?
>Jerid: I had an ally who was integral to us fighting at Ayers city. An ally who just made me aware of this bullshit treatment we have been given since we arrived here! The heads of this base are AEUG supporters!
>>
>>23768753
Yeah, gotta kill Mike and find the Axis papers on him.
>>
>>23768753

>Kamille: AEUG supporters? It would explain how odd their treatment of us has been since we arrived...
>Jerid: They had an entire army stationed here that could have torn their way through Granada's defenses! An army that is ready and more than willing to fight, but is being held back by traitors! Mike told me not to talk to any of the others, but I am not risking any of them screwing up here!
>Kamille: What exactly are you proposing here?
>Jerid: We take this base, and then we use the armies here to decapitate the bastards who left everyone at Ayers out to dry! When we pull this off, there will be nothing between us and control over the Titans-
>Kamille: You are talking about trying to pull off a full-fledged coup. Are you absolutely sure about-
>Jerid: No doubt in my mind at all. It won't just be the soldiers at this base, but everyone who has been held down by the Senate! It all starts with us getting control over Pezun. To that, we just need to-

Jerid's eyes shoot back to Fours, his anger flaring back to the surface as he reaches down to yank the Cyber Newtype to her feet.

>Kamille: Jerid, get your hands off of her-
>Jerid: Out! You aren't even part of this plan, so stop looking at me like that!
>Four: This isn't your idea, is it? You are trying to sound way more confident than you actually are in-
>Jerid: I don't want to hear it!

Despite Jerids grip on Four's uniform, she does not show any signs of attempting to break free from his grasp, though the fingers on her hands jitter, almost as if she is experimenting with their positioning.

>Jerid: I'll throw your ass out if I have to.
>Four: If you are intending to have Kamille fight, then I want to be there with him.
>Jerid: Like hell you are. The only way this will work if it just the two of us.
>Four: Is that what whoever came up with this told you?

Pushing Four against a wall, Jerid plants his hand against her chest, keeping her pinned.
>>
>>23768848

>Jerid: I know exactly what I want! I want to be the best! The apex! Not just "a" leader, but "the" leader of everything! Everyone who died to see that future...they want that more than anything! The only way that can happen though is if people are made to realize I am their only solution! Lila realized all of this, which is why she made it clear I had to fight alongside Kamille! No matter what anyone says or thinks...there is only room at the very top is for Kamille and I!
>Kamille: Jerid...
>Jerid: Why the hell am I telling you of all people this? You have already heard way to much-
>Four: If you have said to much, then there should be nothing keeping me from helping. Whatever you are planning-

Jerid pulls his hand away from Four's chest, using his free hand to slug her into the stomach.

>Jerid: Take it. Take it, and pass out-

Struggling through the pain of the punch, Four replicates the same strike on Jerid, causing the Titan to stumble back from the impact.

>Kamille: Enough, both of you!
>Jerid: You...I see why...Kamille keeps you around...!
>Four: Either you let me help...or there won't be a plan at all. Whatever made you...do this, it isn't...ngh-!

Four clutches her stomach, the impact of Jerid punch genuinely leaving her in pain. Rushing to Four's side, Kamille swings his arm around her side, keeping her from collapsing.

>Kamille: Damn it Jerid, what is wrong with you?!
>Jerid: She wouldn't back off! I wouldn't do any of this unless I knew it was necessary! If anyone else interferes, we lose our last chance to do as Lila wanted for us!

Leaning against Kamille, Four adjusts her fingers position. Finally recognizing the positioning as the same one Scirocco had taught him, Kamille is forced to make a decision.

>Who will Kamille cast his support to?

>>23768879

Ride or die, going option 1. It's time to form the Black Devil pirates.

Compromise could arguably work. They're both of decent influence (3/5 last I checked) but I also think going the middle road has brought us nothing but trouble.
>>
>>23768890
The only problem I have with 1 is that we're following the tricks of an actual spy but I also don't want to leave.
Four's motive reading could actually help us catch Mike being the ultimate rat.
>>
>>23768923

This is true, forgot about that. I'm fine with 1 or 3 but definitely not 2. If noting else, Four has been pretty consistent with marking people as troublemakers so she's an excellent ally to have (I just don't want to burn the influence we just got with Jerid)
>>
>>23768890
It's more of a middle ground to Jerid. But Four is making a good point that this seems to be a bit above his usual planning. As >>23768923 brings up, having her around is a good idea since Jerid seems to be trusting Mike. It's likely a plot by the dude to set us up for failure. They get rid of J & then attempt to sway us over to live on or die.
>>
>>23768942
Yeah, I get that but also Four influence is like the one that I'm not so sure about trading in for Jerid influence, I think she's on the money here.
One other issue also is the fact that these two worked together before like when they jumped Scirocco so I think she knows when Jerid is being Jerid
>>
>>23768947

The thing about Mike is that in Sentinel he was a massive player in getting New Decides allies. Unless we are going to try and preserve the Federation the guy in the short term could be our ticket to fully controlling the Titans. We just need to dispose of him after AEUG is destroyed. Also the “attempt” in that one decision has me concerned. I want more Jerid influence to keep him as our bro.
>>
>>23768951
While that is true, he does it with the goal to destabilize the EFF and tries to recruit the New Desides into Zeon
>>
>>23768879
I'm in favor of either 2 or 3. Jerid is falling for a neo zeon plot from Mike Nuke your xeku Saotome if option 1 wins.
>>23768890
>>23768942
Jerid last time said he would respect our decisions so it should be a bit harder to lose points as long as we don't start being a major dick to him.

3 could be a good option if it helps us out Mike as a neo zeon spy. We should try to wax him before he starts sabotaging us.
>>
>>23768951
>Unless we are going to try and preserve the Federation the guy in the short term could be our ticket to fully controlling the Titans.
I would assume our goal is to capture Moon and make it our base of operation so that when Bask comes to space after finishing his slaughter on earth we are ready to take him out. If we are going to use Pezun we should do it on our terms not Mike's. Taking the New Desides name for ourselves to distance ourselves from Bask could do good for our public relations and garner new supporters and aces.
>>
>>23768978
Kamille is probably going to be remembered as the guy who stood up to Bask, so that'd be easy PR if it comes to open combat
>>
>>23768980
>if it comes to open combat
It's Bask. He will want to kill Kamille and any of his allies for making him look like a fool and getting away with it.
>>
>>23768984
I say that because there's also a realistic chance Bask gets overwhelmed on earth after all this evidence is collected on him without Kamille ever seeing him again
>>
>>23768879
As much as this run has been a lesson on the benefits of committing at times, I really feel like the option 3 compromise just makes more sense here. Why shouldn't we involve Four? She's loyal and competent. Jerid hasn't actually voiced a reason for her not to help us besides that he doesn't want Four to also be a leader in the Titans - frankly she doesn't even seem to care about that.
It reeks of a setup for Jerid to have been told to only take Kamille along for this plan. Take Four as well, and maybe we can turn the tables on Mike and whoever else plans on stopping us and Jerid.
>>
>>23769037
My thoughts exactly
Even if we didn't know for a fact that she's right in the money, Four's instincts are top notch and as usual she's able to immediately sus out any bad players
Relationship points aside, i can't imagine what the ramifications of just running away, but if we play along with our wildcard Four by our side we might be able to somehow gain the upper hand on ol' Mike and expose him as the dirty zeek he is
Hope Jerid, if all goes well, doesn't get too sad and/or dramatic
>>
>>23769106
Well hopefully Kamille uses logic like Jerid trusting Four in the past
>>
As expected, it will take some time for voting numbers to recover. Glad with that outcome though.
>>
Oh shit, we're finally back. Sadly I didn't get to vote, but I agree with our choice this time around. I don't trust that fucking rat Mike and Four is ride or die just like Jerid, we all ought to work together on this one.
>>
>>23769515
Copy started us off with a nice and easy reading comprehension test for this vote after some time away from the game. I'd be shocked if this isn't the correct choice.
>>
>>23769524
Yeah I don't think I can safely trust Mike under any conditions after the last time we lost our Xeku's.
>>
>>23769524
As the readers (those familiar with sentinel in particular, i'll give the pdf a spin one of these days) we have information that our protagonists lack, but it's not meta gaming since Mike's scheming was stated outright.
Hoping for the best.

>>23769528

Considering the wink he gave Tosh the two of them are intent on pulling off a coup on Pezun. The Commander is just too blind to realize he is being played. As for what they plan to do with Jerid it could be a way to recruit him into their New Decides movement since in this timeline he has a hair away from creating the Lunar Coalition Tosh was plotting in Sentinel.

Anticipating Four's intentions, Kamille quickly snatches her wrist to keep the
young Cyber Newtype from lunging towards Jerid. For a moment, she looks to
Kamille with confusion, only to relax her hands upon feeling Kamille's grip
lessening.
>Kamille: Whatever this plan you have is, Four has already overheard enough. If
you are worried about her revealing something-
>Jerid: That isn't the problem! The only way the people in this base will fall
under our Command is if we show them that the two of us could rest control from
the same people they have been to anxious to do so against!
>Kamille:...Is that the only reason you are trying to push her out of helping?
Why-
>Four: Because...someone else told him that-
>Jerid: If the Officers here refuse to fall under our banner-
>Kamille: The only thing that matters right now is that you know the ones
denying us help are aligning themselves with the AEUG.
>Jerid: That is only part of the-
>Kamille: If this is about anything other than that, I am not going to make the
same mistake the rest of the Titans leadership have. Stupid, petty squabbles
about more power, more authority...it is the reason AEUG has been allowed to
survive this long!
As Kamille releases Four, she straightens out her posture, letting out a small
huff as the last of the pain in her gut subsides.
>Kamille: Whatever you were going to ask me to help you with, I won't do so
unless Four is fighting alongside me. She has done more than enough to prove
herself until now.
>Jerid: You-
>Kamille: Agree to that, and i'll help you. Both of us will.
While still entranced by his lust for absolute authority over the Titans, Jerid
ultimately swallows his pride to appease Kamille's ultimatum. As Jerid reveals
the nature of the plan to occupy Pezun swiftly, Kamille's role, along with
Four's retrofitted purpose in the plot are fully outlined...
[Influence with Jerid decreased. 2/5]
[Influence with Four increased. 4/5]
>>
>>23770594
btw this gives room to give Jerid some attention even at a loss for Four influence, a equilibrium as you will

Meanwhile, the Dogose Giar abruptly departs from Pezun's airspace, much to the
ever growing confusion of the Commanding leadership of the installation.

>Pezun Commander: I want that ship monitored at all times! Even with its firepower, they would be mad to try and attack Pezun now...
>Mike: Sir, it is apparent the transmission to that ship was intentionally masked. Lieutenant Messa made the mistake of contacting them so prematurely.
>Pezun Commander: Ensure he is taken alive. The last thing we need is him being used a Martyr.
>Mike: Understood.

Departing from the Central Command hub of Pezun, Mike silently recalls his private transmission to the Dogose Giar's Captain, Paptimus Scirocco. As he steps out from the elevator, he finds himself staring out of an observation window, his eyes fixating just slightly past the Moon.

>Mike: (Not much longer now...)

As hours would pass, Jerid discreetly departs from the Alexandria under escort of soldiers from Pezun. On the exterior of the fortress, a squadron of Smartgun armed Xeku's keep aim on the hangar containing the Alexandria. Observing the Mobile Suit squadron from an observation pod, Pezun's Commanding Officers rubs his hands nervously.

>Pezun Commander: (I'd rather prefer this to be ended bloodlessly, but given how impulse that boy appear to be, he could be trouble...well, at least for himself. Tosh's men will be more than a match for some pampered Newtype child-)
>Pezun Officer: We have an update! That Titan Officer Jerid Messa has been apprehended, but we have also received a report of causalities.
>Pezun Commander: Was Cod amongst them? Or any of the others from-
>Pezun Officer: None of those from the watch list.
>Pezun Commander: Damn it, they must have sent proxies to meet with him in their places...! Was it Saotome who sent this report?
>Pezun Officer: It was.
>Pezun Commander: Code Violet-Beta-Seven. All surveillance is to be cut until the bodies have been moved.
>>
>>23770595
I'd be okay with that as long as we don't fully fall for Mike's bullshit.
>>
>>23770599
Jerid is probably gonna wanna kill Mike once he's exposed, and we're gonna let him do it even if Four might not want to
>>
>>23770596

Waiting within the Zeta Gundam together, Kamille and Four both wait for their signal to initiate the plan laid out by Jerid.

>Kamille: Are you sure that you still want to come along for this? I know that I vouched for you before, but I know you came looking for a fight-
>Four: I don't hate him.
>Kamille: Who? Jerid?
>Four: Mhm. He is always looking for a fight, and won't back down from an issued challenge...and he is true to himself. When he was talking before though, it just...felt strange to me.
>Kamille: His reaction to all of this had me concerned as well. Still, the people in charge of this place obviously had no interest in helping us. Whatever their reasons, we can't let that kind of division get in the way now. Not when the AEUG are on the verge of falling for good.
>Four:...It won't end. If the people here are so anxious to kill one another over a disagreement, does that mean even more people will go so far? I enjoy fighting...but what it feels like people want here isn't about trying to learn from one another. They just want their opposition murdered.
>Kamille: Four...

Within the Central Command Hub of Pezun, a sealed Medical Capsule containing Jerid and numerous body bags are privately delivered, the bases Commander moving to inspect Jerid's condition.

>Pezun Commander: Has he been stabilized? I want him questioned-
>Pezun Officer?: He is only barely staying conscious.
>Pezun Commander: So long as he doesn't die, get him questioned. Use whatever chemicals you need to-

Jerid taps his knuckle against the reinforced glass of the Medical Capsule weakly.

>Pezun Commander: Are you willing to comply? If you agree, we can provide you with the means to ease your pain. To do that, I want names. All of them.

Jerid slowly nods, clutching the bloodied section of his uniform. As the pod's cover unlocks, a bullet fires out from Jerid's coat pocket, with it striking the Commanding Officer of Pezun in his gut.
>>
>>23770622
That's our Jerid!
>>
>>23770622
>>>Kamille: Are you sure that you still want to come along for this? I know that I vouched for you before, but I know you came looking for a fight-
>>Four: I don't hate him.
>>Kamille: Who? Jerid?
>>Four: Mhm. He is always looking for a fight, and won't back down from an issued challenge...and he is true to himself. When he was talking before though, it just...felt strange to me.
This is why, even though it upset Jerid I voted for this, they should be able to find middle ground it's just Jerid is being manipulated
>>
>>23770622
THE BOAR IS LOOSE
>>
>>23770622

Acting upon the confusion sown by Jerids attack, two of the body bags burst open, with two of the presumed causalities spraying gunfire through the Command Center at the still off-guard soldiers and Communication staff. Slamming his fist against a hidden compartment on the Medical pod, a signal jamming device activates, cutting off selective access to the bases surveillance grid.

>Pezun Officer?: Phase one is complete! Phase two now in effect! Phase three will begin in four-hundred and fifty seconds!

The Commanding Officer of Pezun clutches at the wound on his now bloodied stomach.

>Pezun Commander: M-Mike...you betrayed me...?!
>Jerid: "To do that, I want names."

Tossing aside the hidden pistol in his uniform, Jerid rips away a bar of metal from the Medical Capsule, raising it above his head as his eyes bore onto the man he had come to view as one of the executors of his failure to destroy AEUG on the Moon.

>Pezun Commander: P-please...! I-I surrender-
>Jerid: "All of them." I want the names of every last one of the scum in the Senate who turned on us. I want the names of every last patriot who died in Aires because of your meddling.
>Pezun Commander: W-what are you even talking about...?! Oh god, it hurts-

The cold fury within Jerid shatters as he swings the metal down, its impact shattering the Commanding Officer's femur in an instant. While the insurrectionist try to turn away from the brutality, Mike silently observes the Lieutenants brutality, his usually stoic appearance breaking as a small smirk emerges on his face. As the Zeta Gundam detects the loss of communication across sections of Pezun, Kamille helps Four to her feet, patting her back gently to ready the Hyaku Shiki for launch.

>Kamille: Hold on tight to the Zeta once it transforms. Once long-range communications are cut off, we will have to destroy anything that would try to attack the ship.

We got casualties now, you guys sure we're turning de tables on mike?

>>23770727

Breaching out from the isolated hangar, the Waverider Zeta Gundam and Hyaku Shiki fly towards the outlined hub of communication for Pezun to destroy its laser and long-range signal transmitters.

>Josh: Commander Cray, there are more Mobile Suits than we were told about launching!
>Tosh: It is to be expected. The crew on that ship appear to be far less organized than even the average Titan. Team three, maintain firing positions and cover their movements. Offshore, Side, on me. Remember, no hesitation.

With the bulk of Pezun's loyalist blinded, they are left completely off guard as the Xeku squadrons under Tosh Cray's orders initiate their coup. While this slaughter of those deemed to be traitors commences, Kamille and Four use the chaos to reach their objective, catching a detachment of loyalist in recently launched GM II's and Hizack's off guard.

>Pezun Loyalist 1: Are those Mobile Suits from the AEUG?! How did they breach this deeply into-
>Pezun Loyalist 2: All visual feeds are down! Did the Instructor Corps do this?!
>Four: All of them are just so...confused?
>Kamille: Four, don't let your guard down-

Seeing one of the GM II's starting to raise its beam rifle, Four boosts the Hyaku Shiki off from the Waverider.

>Kamille: You're being to reckless!
>Four: Finish the mission! I...want to see just how willing they are to fight!

Aware that his time frame to act is closing by the second, Kamille continues with the primary objective of cutting off the bases communication, while Four works to disable the garrison forces rather than immediately striking them down.

>Pezun Loyalist 3: Why are you toying with us?!
>Four: If you aren't fighting for the AEUG, then why is this even happening? This fight just...makes no sense!
>Pezun Loyalist 3: What?

Slashing away the arms and head of a GM II, the Hyaku Shiki tackles the crippled Mobile Suit down to subdue it.

>Kamille: That the last of the laser lines! Four, you have to finish them off!
>Four:...No!
>>
>>23771167
Ruh roh. Four doesn't like killing people and this might actually backfire.
>>
>>23771167

Sensing the immense discomfort from Four, Kamille transforms his Zeta back into its Mobile Suit form to take hold of the Hyaku Shiki.

>Kamille: Why are you acting like this?
>Four: It is like watching someone strike themselves in a fit of madness. These people...they aren't fighting like our enemies from the AEUG. They don't understand why any of this is even happening-

Sensing additional hostility from a nearby section of the base, Four dashes the Hyaku Shiki past the Zeta Gundam, following her instincts as she presses deeper into the fortress. While Kamille moves to pursue her, the crew of Drake Pashuray's forces are held aboard their tethered Columbus-Class, with the heavy-set Captain appearing pleased at the signs of battle approaching.

>Drake: The coup has begun! Captain Cod will be here soon to liberate us for battle, so be ready! Today will be our day to-
>Drake Subordinate: Incoming Xeku's! They came!

Josh Offshore's Xeku Ein's fires a bazooka round into the knee of one of the security forces GM II's, crippling it as aims his beam saber for their cockpit.

>Pezun Security: M-mercy! I yield, I-

The saber plunges into the chest of the GM II, burning away its pilot instantly. Locking onto the docked Columbus-class with his bazooka, Josh readies a shot to destroy the transport.

>Josh: (There is no place for your kind, Drake.)

As the bazooka round is fired out, the Hyaku Shiki's beam saber is thrown into it, prematurely destroying the explosive before it can impact.

>Josh: Where did that come-

Moving to guard the docked vessel, Four's Hyaku Shiki hovers in front of Josh's Xeku with its arms spread.

>Josh: The gold one? Why are you getting in our way?!
>Four: We have already won! What point is there is firing on those who don't even know that they are in a fight?!
>Josh: A woman?
>Four: Why are we doing this? Were you confused the same way Jerid was?
>Josh: You...you're a Newtype, aren't you? You damned nuisances!
>>
>>23771185
>Josh: You...you're a Newtype, aren't you? You damned nuisances!
Was New Desides the anti-Newtype coalition? Well, I guess the Xeku was going to be hard to keep, Four or no Four.

>>23771185

I see part of the reason Jerid did not want to bring her now. This isn’t as cut and dry as the AEUG and Titans fighting. It is a full blown nuthouse of planned friendly fires.
>>
>>23771227
Brave was also not a fan, but then again, that was after he became a Cyber.
>>
I'm a bit confused as someone who has never read Sentinel, but it looks like we're at least throwing everyone else's plans into chaos.
And our pilots are experienced enough to stay alive amidst all of it.
In the best case scenario, we can take over command of Pezun and all these mobile suits Four is disabling can be repaired. In the worst case scenario, we get the fuck out once it looks like the confusion is abating and we've been outmanouevred.
>>
>>23771253
what's really crazy about this is that these guys are jumping the gun, their 'rebellion' is happening way too early
>>
>>23771277

In the original story their rebellion was a reaction to the Titans losing at Gryps and the Senate capitulating to helping the AEUG. They must be doing this prematurely either because of the UC Epstein files Amuro let loose or Mikes hand rubbing started way earlier since Aires City got wiped out early.

Jerid is pretty bad at seeing the bigger picture. He still doesn't know Scirocco was behind him being sabotaged. Mike and Josh probably only told him what they needed to get his support.
>>
>>23771332

Going by Sentinel proper the rebellion was brainchild by Brave Cod. Mike Saotome set up all the pieces for the rebellion while Brave recruited Tosh Cray. Tosh Cray then took the men directly under his command like Josh Offshore and worked with Brave and Drake to take over Pezun. Brave and Tosh both saw Drake as a detriment to the plan and set him up to die when the Federation arrived to retake the base. My guess here is that Mike in this timeline was setting the pieces for the rebellion when Jerid was at Aires and is trying to fold him into an early New Decides.

Less than eight minutes had passed from the beginning of the insurrection against Pezun, and yet in that time, the plan inherited by Jerid Messa would be a complete success. Any who would attempt to resist were subdued, and the bulk of those deemed enemies of the insurrectionist would be purged, save for a single Columbus still being guarded by Four.

>Jerid: Say their names! Who tore victory out from my hands?! Was it Senator Vickers? Senator Bronzehelm?!

Raising the makeshift metal club to strike Pezun's Commander again, Jerid only stops as the heinously injured Officer finally cracks under the agonizing psychological pressure and beatings.

>Pezun Commander: Y-yesh...! S-stop...!
>Jerid: Which one was it?! Speak, damn you! Was it-
>Mike: Was it all of the men gathering at the Senate as we speak?
>Pezun Commander: Yes...!! H-help me-

Mike aims his pistol for the Commanding Officer's chest, firing a precise shot through his heart.

>Jerid: What are you doing?! I wasn't done-
>Mike: My apologies, General. I just couldn't bare to see him in such a pitiful state, despite his betrayal.
>Jerid: Tch...! So what, it was the entire Senate? All of them set me up?!
>Mike: Those who believe the AEUG will be protecting them have gathered in Dakar as we speak. As you just heard, those same men were the ones who arranged for your defeat. If my evidence is correct, they likely did it in service to their sponsors from Anaheim.

Stepping away from the bloodied, mauled body of Pezun's Commanding Officer, Jerid tosses aside the makeshift metal club as he looks over the devastation around him.

>Jerid:...Everyone still left at this base is onboard with following me?
>Mike: They will be, General.
>Jerid: The Federation government itself turned on us...!
>Mike: Phase three has already begun.
>Jerid: Then there is no point waiting any longer, is there? I know what needs to be done now.
>>
>>23772241

Arriving at the dock containing the detained Columbus-class, Kamille finds the Hyaku Shiki and a Xeku Ein's engaging one another, with Josh's Xeku being stripped of its weapons outside of its beam saber.

>Josh: Captain Cray, the black Gundam just arrived! I can't break off from the gold one attacking me!
>Tosh: Hold your position! We have sights on you now.

The head of Four's Hyaku Shiki looks back, verifying that much of the Columbus's crew have already escaped from the transport during the fighting. Using this opening, Josh's Xeku tackles itself against the Hyaku Shiki's chest, nearly knocking Four unconscious from the impact. Just as Josh prepares to stab at her cockpit, he is alerted to Kamille's approach by his detection system, causing him to pull away from the downed Mobile Suit.

>Josh: The Black Devil? No, it is completely different from that Gundam that was in the reports-
>Kamille: Four?! Can you hear me, Four?! You damn-

Kamille winces as he realizes numerous lock-on pings have already been made on his Zeta Gundam, with multiple Xeku's out of sight targeting him.

>Tosh: The operation was a success, Gundam pilot. Move that downed Mobile Suit to safety and vacate immediately, or you will be identified as a hostile.
>Josh: Captain, they were the ones who attacked me-
>Tosh: It will be handled later, Offshore.

Unable to risk Four's life on being pulled into another battle, the Zeta Gundam takes hold of the inactive Hyaku Shiki, moving it out from the dock as the mono-eye of Josh's Xeku continues to watch them.

For fuck's sake Jerid we cannot go on a sidequest to motherfucking Dakar because of a petrified officer saying whatever he thought would allow him to survive another day. That's not happening.

We will probably at least get Drake. Which is nice since we lost too many ship captains. Though the wiki says that Cod and Tosh loathe him for some reason they think he is a coward and a traitor.

It'd be nice if we got Drake we the new captain of our Alexandria. Let all our pilots fight to the fullest while the ship isn't completely left alone. Drake's Columbus could be used to carry extra mobile suits as well which would be nice.
>>
>>23772363

I haven't read Sentinel but I think it's that he comes off as over eager and likely to jump the gun (which he did given how soon he tried supplying the Devils before the coup happened)

That said, I think the next choice will definitely be between the Moon and Dakar. While the Moon is 100% right there for the taking, Dakar is not only about to be raided by Zeon remnants but Jamitov himself is also there (I think) while Bask is likely to get involved as well.

My vote is likely to be wherever Jerid wants to go and while I he swallowed his pride this time (again), I feel he can only do it for so long before he lashes out hard and I'd rather not burn through the hard-earned influence we got with him.
>>
>>23772455
>Jamitov himself is also there
Fuck his boomer ass, he's done. The Titans are already in practice a bunch of personal fiefdoms.
>Bask is likely to get involved
If anything that's a reason to stay out of it.
We take the moon. After that we can be flexible, but we need to take the moon. It is catastrophic if we get sandwiched by two armies between Axis and Granada

>Jerid: AND YOU TAKE THE SUN
>Kamille/Leila?: YOU TAKE EVERYTHING THAT SEEMS LIKE FUN
Now that would've been kino, better to take care of what's in front of us

>>23772455

Going by the wiki Tosh’s goals are not all that different from Jamitovs. Main difference is he finds the idea of living in space to be a problem compared to settling on Celestial bodies. I doubt he and Jerid will see eye to eye. Brave just wants to fight and go back to Earth. Josh has severe mother issues and inherently dislikes Newtypes out of jealousy for them having natural talents that he had to earn.

As for their plan it was said a few chapters back that ballutes were being readied. If they were already planning to attack the Senate on Earth we either need to redirect them to the Moon or bail to finish the fight.
>>
>>23772455
Part of me is hoping that we'll get the option to split our forces between the Moon and Dakar. Then we can take the Moon and sate jerid's lust for vengeance.

>>23772290

Silence. In the hour from the attempt to detain Jerid to the last of those non-aligned with the rebellion planned by Captain's Brave Cod and Tosh Cray being purged, the Pezun space fortress would be shrouded in a deafening silence, both in the vast space surrounding it, and within its partially damaged interior. Even the usually bombastic and unbound Jerid remains quiet in the aftermath of this incident, his thoughts completely focused on the next phase of his revenge against those who had denied him his "rightful" destiny. Returning to his Alexandria with Four, Kamille finds himself surrounded by the crew of the vessel, many of them in varying states of confusion over the unannounced blitz operation.

>Alexandria Officer: Commander, what was the meaning of this?! All long-range communications have been cut off from-

Moving the Zeta's hand against the damaged Hyaku Shiki's cockpit, Kamille slides down the extended arm to check on Four, finding the Cyber Newtype applying pressure to her head.

>Kamille: Four, whatever all of that was...why? Why did you go and do all of-
>Four: Something is wrong with this place. Something is very, very wrong here...!!

Feeling a growing pang of doubt in his judgement of choosing Four for the operation, Kamille kneels down to wrap Four's arm over his shoulder as he assists her in stepping out from the Hyaku Shiki's cockpit.

>Kamille: If any of you have questions, save them until I have her in bed.

Meanwhile, Brave Cod assists with the collection of the dead from Pezun's barracks, readying the corpses for ejection into space.

>Brave: They may have lacked the resolve to stand with us, but I don't want their bodies desecrated. At least they can find rest in the void of space that they would rather die for.
>Insurrectionist Officer: Captain, Pashuray was successfully detained. His forces were found executing the remainder of the traitors that had managed to escape from his transport.
>Brave: Is that right?

Lost in thought over the savage brutalization of Pezun's Commanding Officer, Jerid locks himself within a lavatory to wash away the blood on his face and uniform. While he readies his thoughts for a speech to the insurrectionist of Pezun, Tosh Cray finds Mike Saotome compiling data on Pezun's numerous supply stockades, along with the hidden nuclear bomb within its core.

>Tosh: It isn't like you to allow unaccounted for variables to act freely.
>Mike: My line of work is all about working with such variables, Captain Cray. Was the insurrection not a complete success?
>Tosh: It was meant to ensure we could act without having to watch our backs. That all of us were of the same ideals.
>Mike: You have concerns of the Black Devil unit-
>Tosh: Obviously. Their leadership is chaotic, and their pilots young. Abnormally young...
>Mike: I may be used to reading between the lines, but I will admit that I am confused what you are asking of me.
>Tosh: These aren't proper soldiers. Talented, abnormally so...but they are not soldiers.
>Mike:...Very well. If you believe taking charge of them is the correct decision-
>Tosh: I just ask that you remain focused on learning when this attack is planned.
>Mike: Very well, sir.

As Tosh prepares to step away, he stop himself. Turning back to face Mike, Tosh releases a pent up sigh.

>Tosh: We going to win this, Saotome. The world just has to know it was won by loyalist to the true ideals of the Federation, not an idol of populist barbarism.

Mike gives a small nod, before returning his full focus onto Pezun's data logs. As Tosh steps away, he readies himself to take actions in keeping Jerid in line.

>>23774320

As Four is medicated in her quarters, Kamille reveals the information that had been provided to him by Jerid of Pezun being compromised by AEUG supporting elements. While much of the crew appears emboldened by Jerid's actions, Fa's face shift between frustration, disappointment, to finally a pale sickness.

>Kamille: Fa, is everything-
>Fa: Where is he now?
>Kamille: Still in the base. Did something happen?
>Fa:...Kamille, did he have proof about anything he told you?
>Kamille: Proof? Why would he-
>Fa: Oh my god...

Fa covers her face, groaning beneath her hands as she considers the implications of Jerid's recent actions as a retaliation for her own words. Before Kamille is able to stop her, a message is received from Tosh Cray of the insurrectionist, requesting for Kamille Bidan and Four Murasame to participate in a gathering of the key figures in the rebellion movement to decide their next course of action. Not wanting to pull Four into another situation that could set her off, Kamille chooses to attend the gathering alone.

>Brave: Oh? What a shame...I had heard the other pilot was a woman. Will she not be joining us?
>Jerid: She is inconsequential. Kamille, I heard she damaged my machine. You see why I told you that bringing her along was-

Tosh slams his hand down upon the table, silencing Jerid as he coldly stares down the arrogant Titan.

>Tosh: Regardless of what you were called on the Moon, you hold the rank of Lieutenant. I could care less how the Titans have chosen to operate, but here, we operate as a proper armed force.
>Jerid:...What the hell are you on about-
>Tosh: You fulfilled your part in the insurrection, but the lack of communication between you and your Commanding Officer were-
>Jerid: I don't bend my knee to him. We work alongside one another-
>Tosh: Childish drivel. The point stands that we were only told that Commander Bidan would be sortieing into battle, not the other pilot.

>>23774391

>>
>>23774391

>Brave: The interference of that pilot had allowed potential threats to temporarily escape. It was dealt with, but it does beg the question of who is commanding this force.
>Jerid: Listen to you people...if you had an actual backbone, you would have broken away from this rock and fought alongside me at Aires! I can see now that Mike was giving you Federation cowards far to much credit-
>Tosh: Had you not interfered at Aires, the men and women of that city would still be alive.
>Jerid: Son of a bitch...!
>Tosh: Saotome had been in talks with them for some time. They were in the early stages of militarizing themselves for the day that a conflict on the Moon would break out. By the time Mike had informed us of what was happening, it was far to late to act-
>Jerid: Maybe we missed a few cowards, cause you don't sound all that different from the scum that were dancing at the orders of the Senate-
>Kamille: Do you people actually intend to help us, or are you just going to posture at us?!
>Brave: Hm, surprising. Even outside of a Mobile Suit, you seem to have a backbone, Newtype.

Sensing a slight hostility in Brave's tone, Kamille narrows his eyes at the muscular Officer.

>Tosh:...According to Saotome, we all share the same goal. To bring stability back to the Federation, and to the Earth itself.
>Kamille: If that is the case, then will actually help us in overtaking the Moon from-
>Jerid: If we attack them now, the Federation itself will just attack us from behind.
>Kamille: What? Jerid, what are you-
>Jerid: It was the Senate. All this time, the Federation government itself has been acting as pawns for the AEUG, and their Zeon handlers!
>Kamille:...Four was right. Where did you even hear that? Jerid, what the hell are you even-
>Tosh: He isn't wrong, but I am concerned about his motives in wanting their removal.
>Jerid: Isn't it obvious?! If they are gone, the Federation's armed forces won't be held back any longer! The Titans will finally have-

>Tosh: The Titans, or you?
>Jerid: Why have you been crawling up my ass this entire time?! Jamitov had all of the time and power in the world to have brought this war to an end, and squandered it! Idiots like Bask Om are only capable of holding back the Titans from their potential!
>Tosh: I'll give you one thing, boy...you do have potential. As you are now though, that unrealized potential has only squandered opportunity after opportunity.

Just as Jerid prepares to lunge himself at Tosh, the middle aged Officer motions for him to remain still with his hand.

>Tosh: Right now, we need unity. To a degree, we share a common goal, but I will not risk the men here losing their lives to satisfy the lunacy you had peddled at Aires and Von Braun. Fall in line, and I will mold you into a proper soldier.
>Kamille: You adults are insane. You have the gall to talk down to us like this, when we've been fighting for our lives?! While you people were just hiding in this fortress rather than helping us?!
>Jerid: Yeah, you tell them! If you people had the same backbone Mike did, all of this would have over long ago!

Tosh falls silent for a moment, his eyes looking down to Kamille's legs for a moment, before shifting back to Jerid.

>Tosh: We waited until the next generation of soldiers and reformers were ready. Acting on pure impulse can only lead to tragedy.
>Jerid: You know what I think? You are scared to death that the soldiers here would see things my way. That they would join me in fixing all of this bullshit rather than being stuck listening to you two relics.
>Tosh: My positions stands. Either you fall in line, or I put you in your place.

Despite the anger swelling in Kamille over the situation, he is able to identify Tosh's intention in trying to goad Jerid, almost as he is hoping for a reaction, along with brief moment of shame in his expression.

Yeah, if we didn't back Four for no real gain last time (I voted to do so) I'd be in favor of going against Jerid now. I don't think it's a good idea to just let it ride because that'll piss Jerid off anyways, so unless we're willing to run the gambit of Jerid going maverick and doing his own thing anyways, we should probably stand by him, even if it fucks our odds with the Desides.

It is a WASTE OF TIME to bypass Granada for Dakar. And I don't even know what Tosh would have us do. We should have ditched this shithole immediately.

Yeah that's probably my one big gripe with Jerid. Every time he calms down, something sets him off. I'm ride or die Jerid but I honestly thought he was past this after the heart to heart brawl with Kamille. Between then and meeting Mike again, he hadn't so much had a peep of getting delusional. I also think it's odd that Kamille KNOWS that it was Scirocco (and Sarah) acting on Jamitov's orders to sabotage his efforts but hasn't told him yet.

Viewing Tosh and the other soldiers following alongside him as nothing more than the same arrogant adults that inhabit the Titans ranks, Kamille chooses to ignore his words, standing with Jerid.

>Kamille: We came to this base for supplies. If even after removing the people you were claiming to be AEUG supporters you won't help us, we have no other reason to remain here.
>Jerid: There is no way I am just letting the bastards who sold me in the Senate get away with-
>Kamille: Even if they had a hand in it, they were not the ones who made that decision to abandon you, Jerid.
>Jerid: What are you talking about-
>Kamille: Later. Not in front of them. If you try to stop us from leaving, the other crewman aboard our ship will not hesitate to fight back.
>Tosh: So you plan to just walk away from all of this?
>Kamille: Our enemy is on the Moon. If not for a disagreement between me and Jerid, we could have taken it. Even without you people, we can still make it happen.
>Brave: Bold. Immensely stupid, but I respect the boldness.
>Kamille: You think I give a damn what you think?
>Brave: Apparently not.
>Jerid: You think I am just going to let him get away with talking down to me? We cleared one group of traitors, why not another?!
>Tosh: Want to try your luck, boy?

As both Jerid and Kamille's bodies stiffen in preparation for some form of attack, Brave appears amused as he signals for Tosh to calm himself.

>Brave: Fine. Be on your way then, Newtype boy.
>Tosh: Captain Cod-

Despite Jerid's desire to fight, he silently accepts stepping away alongside Kamille, confident the troops of Pezun will align with him over the leaders of the insurrection movement.

>Tosh: The last thing we need right now is division in our ranks. Some of the younger Officers, regardless of their training, may be seduced by that fools promises.
>Brave: It is unlike you to be so personally sleighed by another.
>Tosh: Saotome shouldn't have inflated that boys ego.

While Kamille prepares himself to reveal the full nature of what had actually occurred with Jerid's failed bid to overtake Granada and Anaheim Electronics, the Pezun Officer Drake Pashuray arrives aboard the Alexandria with his crewmen to assist with the Alexandria's efforts. He has revealed that with the blessings of Tosh Cray and Brave Cod, a Xeku Ein's designed for use by a Commander has also been reassigned to Kamille's forces.

[Drake Pashuray has joined. One Xeku Eins "S" type has been received]
>>
>>23775798
Drake doesn't look so good, but he'll do i guess.
>>
>>23775798
Seems we at least left on decent terms.

>>23775807
Better him being captain than having one of our aces being an acting captain.
>>
>>23775815
Something stinks about all this. First they arrange for this guy to die and the they just let him join us with a state of the art machine? There has to be some kind of trick here.
>>
>>23775798
>>23775807

Yeah I imagined his stats wouldn't be much to write home about. They're like, Jamaican-adjacent or some of the lesser-OYW era captains. I imagine if that we really shacked up with New Desides, we would've gotten Aeno. Also, where is Chang? I'm pretty sure he's still alive and would be a solid captain for us.

I wanna say the Xeku Eins should go to Jerid himself (the Shiki is hyper dodgy but I worry about its durability at this point in the run) but Four would also be a decent candidate if she doesn't move up to Sydley's Byarlant (she's still around right?)
>>
>>23775822
The Xeku Eins is a brick shit house sniper, you throw it on someone with a good range stat you don't want to die. I assumed we don't have the amazing Beam Smart Guns so here's the B pack that we'll probably be using for now. So I'd throw it on one of our shittier newtype girls we don't want to detonate violently and get them out of a melee focused Byarlant.
>>
>>23775861
>>23775822
Not that well get a choice but it should really be going to either Leila if she’s ever back on board or Sarah, they’re most likely to die so a tank would be good for them
>>
>>23775798
Tell 'em, Kamille
Though we should be concerned - Jerid will probably get distracted again and say we need to kill Scirocco and Jamitov before doing anything against AEUG.
>>

>>23776090
We already have Boar Jerid, so now we just need to make Teacher Kamille to properly tard wrangle him so he stops talking to ghosts and getting psyopped.
>>
>>23776090
I have no idea why he thinks AEUG sympathisers would be a higher priority than AEUG itself anyway. Even if it was true that the Senate is full of AEUG bros (which it clearly isn't, at least not to a majority) a decapitation strike on Granada would still make more sense.

For a game named after Gihren it’s surprisingly expansive and detailed. I love it.

>>23776172
He’s trying to avenge his dead comrades so he believes the ones who didn’t support them are worse than the ones who pulled the trigger
>>
>>23776026

I mean killing Scirocco is a given (and I imagine he'll have usurped Von Braun from Jerid's supporters while we were at Pezun) but fair. Either way, I'm glad we're getting away from New Desides, even if we got Drake (lol) and a Xeku Eins out of it.

With the Titans devolving into fiefdoms everywhere, I'd very much prefer the Black Devils continue to be independent from other factions. The Black Devils don't join other causes, other causes join the Black Devils.
>>
>>23776196
We want Scirocco around a while longer to fight Axis. He can be a useful ally at least until we've survived the first wave of Axis' attacks.
Axis is late, by my count. I expect we'll be hearing from them very soon. We can't delay Granada any longer if we don't want to fight them and Axis simultaneously.
>>
>>23776205

My big concern with Scirocco, beyond his usual nonsense, is that he'll jump ship to Axis at an inopportune moment. Kamille has already broken away from his orbit and taken Sarah with him while Jerid is also on far better terms and will likely tear into him the first chance he gets. Jupiter man will likely just cut his losses in the (near) future and Axis is always hiring.

"No other choice. It had to be done. All of this is for mankinds survival."

Silently reflecting on the events that had lead him to take the life of Bright Noa, Azul Stel struggles to keep the unrelenting shame of his action from overpowering his resolve. So long as Jamitov Hymen lives, the future that he had been cursed to see still lived on as a possibility. Looking outside of his shuttles window as it approaches the horn of Africa, Azul's hand tenses as he finds a Swan flying alongside the craft, its eyes locking with his own.

>Azul: Are you satisfied?! If you had only told me before, Bright could have been saved from-
>Shuttle Staff: Sir, is everything alright?

Snapping out of his rage momentarily, Azul looks back out the window, no longer seeing the manifestation of his eternal penance.

>Azul: I just...am not used to being in gravity again. A-Asprin, I need an Asprin-
>Shuttle Staff: Of course, sir.

Slumping back against his seat, Azul opens a data log on his computer terminal, confirming the numerous anti-Federation cells gathering for Operation "Shining Mountain".

>Azul: (Just a little more...without Jamitov, the Titans will crumble internally, folding back into the Federation. After that, all that will remain is one final cry from Earth and space until peace can begin...)

Looking over the design of the "Murasame" that had been retrofitted for the attack plan, Azul swallows as he considers its abnormal combat system, realizing someone will need to be sacrificed for its full combat power to be unleashed.
>>
>>23776780

>Jerid: They set me up? Why? Why would Jamitov have-
>Kamille: It is truth, Jerid. Even Scirocco was aware of it. More than aware for that matter-
>Jerid: They both realized what was going to happen.
>Kamille: What are you talking about-
>Jerid: They both realized that if I had pulled that off, I would be the one to be taking the reigns over the Titans! That everyone would realize that I am the only one worthy of that kind of power!
>Kamille: Jerid-
>Jerid: We can't just leave this base yet! I know the soldier's here would fall under my command if I pushed for it! Mike is still-
>Kamille: Who even is this Mike?
>Jerid: He-

Before Jerid can force his words out, his conversation with Kamille is interrupted by one of the Technical staff looking over the data on the Xeku Ein's.

>Technical Officer: Commander Bidan, there is an abnormality in that Mobile Suits data.
>Kamille: Can it wait-
>Technical Officer: It is affecting the other Mobile Suits!
>Kamille: Damn it...! Jerid, just hold on. We have supplies we need to attack the Moon again. This time, we can-
>Technical Officer: Sir, we really need you to-
>Kamille: Can you people do nothing yourselves?!

While Kamille departs from the briefing room to inspect the abnormal data affecting the other Mobile Suits, Jerid seals off the room, readying a private communication to a secret line offered by Mike Saotome...
>>
>>23776801
Damn it, Jerid.
>>
>>23776801
Indeed, goddammit all Jerid. Good to see we'll get psycho shenanigans this run.
>>23776461
Turns out the XEKU has a VIRUS
>>
>>23776806
>>23776809

What's really funny to me is that Kamille is just in late-stage GG himself now. For every fire he gets under control, three new ones pop up.

I do feel that Jerid is down this endless spiral of being taken advantage of as a result of losing his entire support net. Kamille is honestly the one person trying to look out for him at this point and it's a chore since Mike had his hooks in Jerid since he first began his Anaheim raids (albeit off-screen)
>>
>>23776801

"SHAME ON YOU"

This single phrases flashes across the screens of the Mobile Suits undergoing maintenance, with their thrusters and AMBAC systems attempting to boost downward, only being stopped due to the Mobile Suits reactors being rendered dormant by the Maintenance technicians.

>Technical Officer: The moment we activated that Mobile Suit, there has been a long-wave signal being sent out from it that has been setting this off. The thing is, the Xeku is unaffected. The message is flashing, but the same uncorrectable error on the other machines isn't present-
>Kamille: I am switching the Zeta to manual control.

Following through with his words, Kamille regains control over the Zeta's control panel. Accessing the malignant code, Kamille finds himself baffled by the simplistic, yet admittedly clever trap.

Entering into the hangar, Drake sheepishly tries to find his words, before pompously puffing his chest out to appear more confident.

>Drake: Ah, Commander! There appears to have been a...mistake from my confidants. In their excitement to join this unit, they failed to provide me with pertinent information. P-primarily, what occurred with that Mobile Suit gifted by my comrades. Obviously, I have rendered an appropriate reprimand for the men, but do know that this little debacle is nothing to be concerned with.

Slipping out from the Zeta Gundam's cockpit, Kamille can barely contain his growing annoyance as he senses Drakes attempts to defect responsibility away from himself.

>Kamille: What is all of this?! Why was something like that baked into that Mobile Suits operating system?!
>Drake: Y-you should watch your tone, Commander. You may be a Titan, but I do hold a higher rank within the Federation. Even with the Titans policies, we would be equals. Now, how about you try calming down-
>Kamille: Do you have any idea what this would have done had it occurred in an actual battle?!
>>
>>23776828
These Pezun assholes are insufferable. At this point I wouldn't be opposed to just purging all of the named characters there and taking onboard any recruits willing to join us. They're committed to doing absolutely nothing except sabotaging each other and any Federation ships that get near them.
>>
>>23776828
Drake isn’t even thankful we saved his retarded ass no wonder why they killed him
>>
>>23776914

Granted this is through the lens of Copy's GG runs and I haven't actually read Sentinel but does anyone out there actually LIKE New Desides as a faction? They're supposed to be Titans-adjacent but everyone, myself included, talks more about the MK V and Xeku line than the characters in the group itself. Same could be said for Task Force Alpha desu.
>>
>>23776828
>Tosh uses his logic bomb on the Alexandria's mobile suites to delay our aberrant Titans
>Kamille figures it out immediately because he's a coding wizard
I'm betting this sabotage is a trial run for Pezun's forces in Africa later. The Pezun Xeku's will descend from space and both AEUG and the Titans MS will be effected by the logic bomb signal being emitted. Remember AEUG forces stole a bunch of Titans machines for their operations. Which will leave Pezuna Xeku's free to do whatever they please.
>>
>>23776980

Their goals on paper are to protest the Federations continued capitulation to Spacenoid interests and to inspire other groups on Earth to remove the current Federation administration. The original sparker of the rebellion Brave Cod just wanted to fight and eventually get back to Earth once and for all. Tosh was more ideologically motivated in trying to push for humanity to abandon the use of Space Colonies.

Truth be told though they were all just pawns of Neo Zeon. Saotome was a double agent posing as a Federation Officer who riled everyone up to make Neo Zeons advance easier.
>>
>>23776980
To be fair the story of Sentinel doesn't get much exposure because of the novel itself being in a copyright limbo.
The characters would probably be a bit more liked otherwise, though as a faction they're not very interesting beyond being a taste of what Titans remnants were doing after Gryps.
>>
>>23776980
The characters don't get much stuff like >>23777118
said but honestly from the bits of the actual novel I've seen they are mostly pretty lame outside of Brave himself and the MS are really cool + get the bonus of the gundam mk v model kits being one of the holy grail kits, as well as the lore connection to the doven wolf which has a lot of hype and the silver bullet.
>>
>>23777222

Brave’s depiction of piloting the Mark V will never not be funny to me. He flies straight into a barrage from 3 FAZZ’s, tanks it and goes absolutely apeshit wiping out an entire fleet while his bones and muscles are snapping under the G forces of the Mark V. Guy was an absolute animal. A shame the other New Decides pilots don’t measure up to that. (Outside of Josh nearly beating the S-Gundam and ALICE with his eyes burned and blinded)
>>
>>23776586
I thought you were making an obscure reference or something. Thanks for the heads-up sentinel reader
Now, if we get a choice in the matter, what should we do about our new friend drake?
Make him walk the plank, into an ignited saber that is.
Beat the shit out of him, really make Bask proud.
Or let him walk with slap on the wrist, we all make mistakes after all. And this signal could prove to be useful.

Admittedly, I was rather confused why Captain Cray and Cod had ordered for that information to only be provided to you, rather than allowing me to know the exact details before-

>Drake: Y-you can't talk to-
>Kamille: Get-to-the-point!!

Ashamed by allowing himself to be intimidated by a young man half his age, Drake meekly produces a partially crumpled letter. As Kamille pulls it away from the portly Officer, he reads over its contents, learning of the "Logic Bomb" implanted into the Xeku's code, along with the note outlining a minor modification to a Mobile Suits code to avoid the implanted virus from affecting the Mobile Suits of the Alexandria.

>Drake: The AEUG won't see what him them with that little trick. Not that we would even need to think all that hard to put those backwater rebels down-

Kamille's barely contains his growing frustration as he listens to the smug Pezun Officer continue to bluster, realizing precisely why he was being planned for termination. Without a word, Kamille steps away from Drake, his thoughts refocusing on trying to calm Jerid. As he arrives outside of the briefing room, he overhears Fa pleading with Jerid.

>Fa: I didn't mean it like that!
>Jerid: Oh, you sure sounded confident with that damned witch whispering in your ear!
>Fa: What kind of a life is this, Jerid?! At what point will you be satisfied with this...insane ambition of yours?! Will you be able to live with yourself when faced with someone better than you?
>>
>>23777559

>Jerid: Who do you think is better than me, Fa?
>Fa: S-stop it. I didn't-
>Jerid: You obviously have names in mind, so say them! Say it loud and proud! Say it, so that I can put them all where they belong! You think Scirocco is better than me? His days are numbered! One of those dumb asses from the AEUG?! Go on, say their names! It won't matter what they are, cause all of them are going to be dead by the time I reach the top with-

Noticing Kamille outside of the room, Jerid's calms himself as he looks back to Fa.

>Jerid: Before, you said both me and Kamille shared the same problem. So...we are equals in your eyes then, right?
>Fa: K-Kamille, you need to talk to him-
>Jerid: Yeah, he sure does. Go, Fa. Stare up and watch as history is made, or actually do something worth a damn. It doesn't matter. What she saw for us both is finally here. The day we take it all for ourselves.
>Kamille: Jerid, whatever you have in mind-

Shoving Fa out from the briefing room, Jerid seals off the door, leaving only himself and Kamille inside.

>Jerid: All of them are afraid. You see it as well, don't you?
>Kamille:...Our enemy is the AEUG, Jerid. If we start fighting amongst ourselves like the people at this base did, nothing will ever-
>Jerid: It a matter of days, the AEUG will be annihilated regardless of what we do.
>Kamille: What? Annihilated?
>Jerid: Some kind of weapon is nearly done being constructed at Gryps. A laser of some kind that will burn them all away.
>Kamille:...Did you contact someone?

Checking through the communications sent from the briefing room, Kamille finds a cloaked communication line that was recently contacted.

>Jerid: As you said...Jamitov and Scirocco both want me gone. All to protect themselves from what Lila already realized. We attack Moon, and they can just wipe us away in an instant.
>Kamille: How can you trust this man so much?!
>Jerid: Because I am done waiting for what we deserve.

I'm sorry Jerid I'm not going to the fucking Gryps laser in a giant 3 way battle that NEVER ends well.

>>23777579
>>23777586
Pretty confident neither Jamitov or Scirocco will fire the laser at the moon, that’s just going against what both of them want
Amuro won’t be trying to do that either, now NZ however will want everyone to be at Gryps
>>
>>23777579

>Kamille:...I just want to avenge my parents. To avenge the others who died in this senseless war-
>Jerid: Then stop hesitating and take the power to make that happen. These Pezun pricks intend to strike both the Senate and some army readying to strike Kilimanjaro. In one move, they'll claim total power over the Earth, and the people will just accept it. The Titan's will be weaker for it. Even if Jamitov dies, just more of the same stupidity he pushed will continue.
>Kamille: What are you even proposing? That we should just abandon fighting the AEUG to chase what these guys are after?
>Jerid:...The only way to the very top will be alongside you. If you aren't with me, then neither of us are reaching that peak of power. Mike said that Scirocco's ship is returning to Gryps. If we take him out, that weapon would be ours. Otherwise, we could pursue the fleet readying to leave Pezun. We get most of them to follow us, and there will be nothing on Earth to get in our way.
>Kamille: I...agree that things need to change. If we focus now though-
>Jerid: If destroying the AEUG on the Moon is truly the only way for us to achieve what Lila expected from us...fine. I'll accept it. You already convinced Scirocco's eyes and ears to leave him, so all we have do is crushed the AEUG before he can fire that weapon on us. Whatever you decide, lets do it. Lets do it now, and finally take it all for ourselves!

As Kamille prepares to speak, he feels a pressure building in his mind.

>Four?: (You both...are not puppets...!!)
>Kamille: Four?
>Four?: (Manipulators...they can never be real people!! The evils and lies of this place...and the one who caused them...need to disappear!)

>>23777607
Oh fuck me this is a choice I can't make right away
Leaning more towards either TOTAL AEUG DEATH or Four, but I can't decide on which one right now.
>>
>>23777607
I wholeheartedly trust Four and she's done us nothing but good so I'm tempted to pick it, but I'll hear others out first.
>>
>>23777607
Alright /m/en, this is a very important decision, so let's discuss our options.
I'm against getting jerked around by Mike "fuck you're Xekus lmao" Saotome so fuck following the Pezun goons. I'm heavily considering going with whatever Four is planning since she's our only other ride or die nigga and I'm willing to bet we'll fight Amuro and try to stop whatever the fuck he's planning; I'm also partial to returning to the Moon with a vengeance and establishing a base of operations for when Neo Zeon arrives which ought to be pretty much imminent at this point.
I'm fine with either one of these, but I'd like to hear what everyone else thinks about our other choices before committing to a choice.
>>
>>23777607
Option 3(finishing off the AEUG) and 4(Four) are both tempting. I'm tired of Jerid's rambling and inability to to think off anything other than seizing power and hater out to get him.
>>
>>23777607
What benefit would granting the AEUG another reprieve provide?
Axis is already at our doorstep. Leaving them with personnel, territory, and equipment would be insane. The situation on Earth is insurmountable, with many players involved. Our pieces on this board have become extremely volatile. Beltorchika will almost certainly become the perfect scapegoat for Bask and Brave Cod when Jamitov dies. Our connection to her will brand us as either traitors or a constant source of blackmail.
>>
>>23777607
Fuck all of these are making me nervous.
>[Domination over Scirocco/the power of absolute destruction]: Ambush Scirocco at Gryps 2 and settle matters with him to take control of the secret weapon being constructed.
Shatterpoint decision to either spawn sirocco's titans or fuck up everything?
[Strike down the Senate/assuming absolute power]: Pursue the Pezun forces and ready a decisive attack to destroy the invasion forces in Africa, and to remove the Senate.
Everything gets fucked up in exchange for the *chance* of getting Xekus.
Or we could blow up the new desides?
I'm wary of this.
[Destroy the AEUG/the moment of awaited revenge]: Ready a decisive attack to strike the AEUG on the Moon, inspiring all Titan forces in space to rally.
Decapitate remaining AEUG forces in exchange for being front line against the incoming Axis tide. Least schizo option?

Let's go with Four so we can max her out
Jerid is continuing to trust in Mike despite that being a bad route & she is the one who has exposed such a fact
Also with it saying "cut the strings" it is pretty fitting to related & looking ahead
We can't go with infighting and the aeug isn't really a thing anymore. Have to look ahead towards neo zeon. Yes Africa counts but that comes at the cost of Senate, which Amuro has already fucked
Jerid has become even more unstable to the point of logic not working so why enable him?
>>
>>23777607
Four's "cutting the strings" sounds an awful lot like fighting Axis as soon as they appear. Which is, for our one ship, suicidal. Let's think about what else it might be.
It might be killing Amuro. He is, after all, literally responsible for the destruction on Earth and considers himself a puppetmaster over both Axis and the EF, planning out how exactly the Federation can rally to something he considers responsible government once the Titans are destroyed.
It could be Jamitov, the one nominally in charge of the Titans. This would probably mean going to Gryps? I assume Jamitov is going there to take control of the laser? Then will just get ganked by Scirocco, and most likely a fight with Axis will ensue.
It could be Anaheim, who are keeping the war as balanced as they can for their own profit. This is not really different from the standard Granada plan, though.
It could be a faction we are not even aware of currently, and Four has some kind of insight we are not privy to so far.
Guys, I've been begging to go to Granada and finish them off ever since we did surgery on Jerid. I'm really interested in Four's plan. But I don't know if we can afford to leave Granada on the table, especially with Amuro still separated from the Argama. I'm gonna wait to see if any more posters can make some convincing arguments for now but I'm leaning towards Granada. I just don't buy that Scirocco or Jamitov or anyone else glasses Granada as soon as we take it.
>>
>>23777607

It's time to crush hhe AEUG. While Four is almost certainly referring to Mike and the machinations of Axis, the one constant is that Jerid and Kamille are unstoppable together. Whatever Mike has planned, it'll ultimately fall apart once those two start moving together.

Additionally, once it becomes clear where the chips are falling, we're likely to (forcibly) recruit AEUG survivors or at least get what remains of their tech like the MK III and Shiki Kai, suits that definitely would help us going forward
>>
>>23777732
I mean it doesn't necessarily have to be Mike, it could very well be the Psycho which Four is intimately aware of and is still out there. She talks about the lies of this place but also "Who caused them." Which could be Mike but it could also be some long term Psycho manipulation like what "Leila" was doing. Also it means we are cutting the strings from any manipulation which gets rid of Mike and the others if it is him and not the Psycho. Also if anything AEUG is a puppet state
>>
Just my 2 cents
>[Domination over Scirocco/the power of absolute destruction]: Ambush Scirocco at Gryps 2 and settle matters with him to take control of the secret weapon being constructed.
The showdown between Scirrocco and Jamitov for colony laser, Jamitov will very likely die and the blondie will added to Scirroco harem, unless..
>[Strike down the Senate/assuming absolute power]: Pursue the Pezun forces and ready a decisive attack to destroy the invasion forces in Africa, and to remove the Senate.
A big battle involves Bask cyber NT corps, New Desides, Zeon Remnants and what left of the Feddies to control the planet.
>[Destroy the AEUG/the moment of awaited revenge]: Ready a decisive attack to strike the AEUG on the Moon, inspiring all Titan forces in space to rally.
AEUG last stand and the arrival of Axis, this mean Haman and Char will be there with their army of NT clones.
>[Fours vision/Cut the strings, regardless of the consequences]: Trust in Four, aiding her in ending the source of the "lies and evil" she is sensing
Not sure, Most likely to be a NT ghost that Lila warned about.
Personally, I voted for [Destroy the AEUG/the moment of awaited revenge] because inspiring all Titan forces in space to rally is a good idea to gathers cannon fodders as Jerid already laid the groundwork and Kamile could uses more than one ship.
Would have vote for Scirocco, but that will takes a lot of time and Scirocco or Jamitov has yet to be an enemy with Kamile and can be reason with.
Going to Earth seems like the one has highest risks but with highest rewards.
Four vision is a wild card that I am unwilling to go with.
TLDR, All of them are deadly, it pretty much choose your poison, there is no safe choice, choose wisely.
>>
>>23777850
>AEUG last stand and the arrival of Axis, this mean Haman and Char will be there with their army of NT clones.
Char will, but I think Haman is going to be late. The Axis Fleet can't just bypass everything and bolt for Granada, they will probably prioritise Zedan to start with, and they can't ignore Gryps either if the laser really is nearing completion. This is the last chance we're gonna get to split off AEUG from Axis imo and we need to take it.
So long as Scirocco doesn't flip to Axis, letting him go to Gryps makes sense for now. I really like the tone of Four's request but without knowing specifically what she means, I just can't prioritise it over Granada. And Earth is a shitshow. So, Granada it is.
>>
>>23777607
Fact that it says four? Leads me to believe that may not actually be four, I say we focus on what Kamille actually wants rather than plans people have told him and that’s total AEUG destruction

I have no idea what’s happening in this timeline but I’m super invested in this thread.
Is Amuro really some grand puppet master/villain figure here?
>>
>>23778174
No. He's getting played by Axis and is desperate to try and claw back any semblance of control over the situation.
He has been basically mindbroken ever since the Battle of California which was easily our biggest win of the run so far and has practically ruined both Karaba and AEUG in the long run.
>>
>>23778198
He also sperged the fuck out and accidentally killed Bright when he told him the AEUG was almost as bad or worse than the Titans, which kinda mindbroke him into going full scorched earth. Even Char, who was very gung ho about going in guns blazing at a neutral colony, is starting to get really concerned about it.
>>
>>23778219

It's really funny how Amuro being trapped on Earth has been utterly miserable. It's been a while since we had an Amuro this beaten down so it's pretty neat. Meanwhile Quattro is just picking up Shinta and Qum while doing fuck all.
>>
>>23778174

This timeline is amazing Four didn't die for once and she is training to be a mobile fighter.
Kamille is the Black Devil of the titans and he used his newtype powers to send the Psycho Gundam and the horde of New type ghosts to hell.

My theory? There was some next level NTR shit where Amuro and Haman were getting too close, and Char swooced right on in and slept with Haman first. Either he wanted revenge for Lalah and Amuro bonding and cukced Amuro, or because nobody sleeps with Amuro but him because nobody shucks Char's corn but Char.

Amuro actually going into space in Zeta would have been a clusterfuck. A super powerful Newtype dommy mommy ticks all of Amuro's boxes, and the poor dude wouldn't have stood a chance.

Whatever happens I love it so much.
>>
>>23778717
I'm pretty confident Granada is going to win by a landslide looking at the thread, we typically need more convincing than Jerid or Four have provided here to change from a long term goal like wiping out AEUG at the source.
That's what I voted for. We've spent a really long time since California not really getting measurably closer to winning the war against AEUG.
I think the early phases of the war with Axis are going to look apocalyptically bad for us, to the point of anons saying the run is dead. Earth is basically going to be anarchic, between the Carbine Files riots, Bask, Pezun chuds, whatever the fuck Amuro is doing, and Zeon remnants that will rise up. Zedan will get crushed by Axis. And they'll take multiple Sides very quickly as well. As much as anything, we need Granada so we have somewhere to take a stand, somewhere with money and production. If it all goes to shit then we head to Earth and keep our heads down, basically go guerilla on them like Jerid did on the Moon.
>>
>>23778723
You're forgetting one factor in the equation. Mineva.

Remember whenever Amuro is talked about by other people she comes up as a reason for him acting like this. Lila was talking about how Amuro would send humanity into a era of darkness for a child. Char mentioned that Amuro would sacrifice a lot for that child after Bright was killed. Then we got a mid season stinger showing a green eyed queen and her council talking about invading the earth sphere, and that was implied to be a version of Mineva and members of Axis.
My guess is that Amuro ended up acting like a father in a pseudo relationship with Haman and Mineva. Acting as Mineva's paternal figure and getting into a relationship with Haman. Then something really bad happened. Which removed Haman entirely. Maybe it was NTR where Char got involved, or a incident involving newtype powers happened. Whatever the case it left Amuro damaged and Char more Gung ho about shooting Titans.
>>
>>23778791
Lalah 2.0 something something eternal recurrence its like pottery it rhymes.
>>
>>23778723
>A super powerful Newtype dommy mommy ticks all of Amuro's boxes
Theoretically that combination ticks all of Char's boxes, but he dumped her. I don't imagine Haman is a particularly good partner honestly. She has all that NT power, and never uses it to actually understand anyone. What Char (and to an admittedly lesser extent Amuro) liked about Lalah is that she takes the effort to understand people in a comforting kind of way.
>>
>>23778805
To quote another German philosopher she is Lalah's antithesis if you will.
>>
>>23778806
Which is why the Qubeley is the Elmeth's more vicious counterpart. I don't think it's ever visible in the shows, but the model kits even have a decal for the Qubeley explicitly labelling it "LMES2" (Elmeth 2).

WE'RE GOING TO THE MOON BOYS

Let's hope we get to see Yazan and his army soon. As well as all the other Titans in space still. Scirocco still sees Kamille and Jerid in a positive light, since he helped us at Side 2 and trusts us with his girls. The New Desides also see Kamille and Jerid favourably, since we helped them with taking over Pezun, and they gave us a Xeku along with the Logic Bomb virus.
So if either group is able to take power we should be alright. Jerid's just been manipulated by Mike into hating Scirocco outright and his obsession with power was exploited into making him want to kill the Senate. He'll get his chance at leading the Titans though.
>>
>>23778854
Hate to say it but Yazan might just get crushed by Axis' first wave of attacks, I think he's still at Zedan.
Jerid hating Scirocco is fine because he IS a snake and he DID try to kill Jerid. Scirocco also hates us now, ever since we proved too capable for him to puppeteer. It's fine to leave him alive long enough to fight Axis, but he's not our ally.
>>
>>23778856
The moon option included "inspiring all Titans forces in space to rally" that would presumably include characters like Yazan and other Titans joining with the Alexandria to form a large fleet and crush AEUG once and for all. Directly striking their last stronghold of the moon.

As for Scirocco you are right that he is a manipulative snake and did try to get Jerid killed, but the scenarios changed. The Jovian was forced to realize that Kamille and Jerid were his equals and that he couldn't manipulate them like he wanted. More than that he was actively helpful afterwards despite having the chance to screw us over or kill us.
I'm of the opinion Scirocco wants Kamille and Jerid as allies still but wants to be in a higher position of power before getting them to join him again.

I imagine Yazan would leave a detachment at Zedan and come to join the fight for the Moon himself. There's no way a man like him would miss the opportunity to participate in the battle of a lifetime.

Tosh Cray mentioned how young officers at Pezun would choose to follow Jerid if given the option. So we should at least get some forces for our attack on the moon. We'll probably need them too since AEUG has most certainly been building up its forces in Granada with whatever resources it has. Not to mention Mezun and the Argama will be there. They'll all be a major obstacle even if they don't have much experience fighting and have lower quality MS then we do.

At the moment though and for the invasion of the Moon we'll be stuck with Nemos, Marasais, and most likely whatever Hizacks and GM IIs are left in service.

AEUG will probably have a lot of Nemo IIs and Methuss MS, with few surprises most likely. But our Aces in the Alexandria should be able to make up for it.

Since it seems it'll be a little bit before Copy X posts again. What are your hopes and fears for the upcoming battles at the moon?

Personally I'm hoping Kamille gets a rematch with Mezun Mex and they get to have an actual fight with one another. Because whenever a rival to Kamille was set up in the AEUG they immediately got crushed. Like on Earth, Kamille and his forces simply swept over Karaba and annihilated them. Though that was mainly the AI being stupid. Like putting Emma in a Rick Dias so she got shot down immediately, or Leila being alone in a Methuss and being disabled as soon as she confronted Kamille. And most egregiously Katz being in a gunner Gundam, which was so bad that there was a vote on whether he should live or die.
It'd be refreshing if AEUG with their last true bastion on the moon put up a much harder fight against the Black Devil that's tormented them. I'm sure Mezun and the new Argama crew will beeline for the Alexandria and be a real hurdle in combat.
>>
>>23786235
>hopes
AEUG AI continues to shit the bed and we sweep through the regular Granada forces with little fanfare. Mex would be a fun side-story.
We find decisive, total proof of AEUG's subordination to Axis. This can help us pick up a few AEUG remnants under the compelling logic of "better us than Bask or Axis".
>fears
Char kills Jerid when he gets too cocky. Very possible even with Jerid's elite endurance stat.
Char in general is going to be a big problem. He has a souped up Hyaku Shiki now which is probably at least a match for the Zeta.
The first Newtype to die causes Leila and Four to become completely incapable of fighting
On Leila, since she prestige'd, we have had no chance to train her up again. She will effectively be doing her "first" battle here. This could go very poorly for her if she runs into the wrong enemy at the wrong time.
We declined the Barzams, and the Bardams aren't ready yet, so we are presumably filling the ranks with Nemos. Nemos are okay, it could have been Hizacks if we were less fortunate, but don't expect any breakthroughs if Kamille & co. aren't physically present
It's good that Scirocco isn't here. He would absolutely try to fuck with us at the last moment somehow.
I could see us finally losing one of our three lives if things go especially badly. I don't like our odds of another clean win with no aces dead.
>>
>>23786285
Leila probably isn't going on the field without a vote, which we probably shouldn't unless she volunteers.

Chances are deployed pilots will be
>Kamille
>Four
>Jerid
>Sarah
>Drake
>Sydle
>Possibly Fa

the latter three are the ones who will be in danger or even cause problems with the formation I wager
>>
>>23786285
Remember Char is still on Earth with Amuro getting ready to attack Dakar along with the other Karaba and Zeonic Remnants on the planet. Their aim is to destroy the Senate and kill Titans leadership, namely Jamitov and Bask.
But as we know the New Desides group of Titans is going air drop from space who have their own goal of destroying the Senate and taking control of the earth. Also Beltorchika will be there ready to kill Jamitov herself, and presumably the Augusta newtype corps will be there including Gates and a brainwashed augmented Kikka.
It's going to be an absolute bloodbath at Dakar. It's probably for the best we're avoiding the place entirely.

As for Leila and Fa I can see them getting into mobile suits if the situation turns dire and the ship is in danger of being destroyed. Leila won't sit by and let herself be killed, while Fa herself has shown a violent side and resentment towards AEUG. Anyways as long as those two aren't forced to fight and aren't directly threatened they'll probably just stay put.

I think Jerid might cause a ruckus about conquering the moon. Despite you know that being his original goal and purpose after Ayers City was genocided. All the info and lies Mike has been feeding him gave Jerid the idea to go fight at Dakar or kill Scirocco. Which are probably genuine attempts to get Kamille and Jerid killed and out of the way for when Axis arrives.
I bet Jerid's grumpy tune will change though once he sees the young Titan officers and soldiers willing to fight under him. Or sees the surviving rebels on the moon he was in contact with earlier in the run.
>>
>>23786363
You know considering what's about to happen at Dakar there is a really good chance that we're going to get a Titans civil war over who will control them while fighting Axis with the two sides being Scirocco and Bask with us being forced to pick a side. That's assuming Bask doesn't get killed at Dakar if he does well Scirocco just becomes the defacto leader of the Titans and our new boss.
>>
>>23786376
We obviously can't side with Bask, and I am not sure what we would actually gain from working with Scirocco in anything more than an enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-friend fashion.
He doesn't trust us at all now that he knows he can't control us. If we get too close he will definitely try to dispose of us or split apart our team. To say nothing of how we could possibly convince Jerid to get along with him.
I really would rather just be our own mini-faction once the Titans civil war begins. We just need a base of operations - and the moon would be a perfect fit for that, separated from the chaos on Earth and quite a long journey for Axis.
The two really serious concerns are if Axis just absolutely sweeps through space with ease and can send a whole fleet of whoop-ass to Granada (we would probably be forced to retreat to Earth) and if the colony laser really can just wipe out Granada (or Von Braun, I don't know which side of the moon it's on).
Oh, and I guess in canon Haman did try to crash Axis into the moon at one point. This was prevented by using the colony laser. I always figured Axis would come off much worse than the Moon would from such an assault, but nonetheless it would suck for us if this happened and we would have to either somehow seize the laser (leaving Granada itself defenceless) or, again, retreat to Earth.
>>
>>23786852
The thing is we need to remember Scirocco still likes up, we're still at a 3/5 with him the same as Jerid our ride or die currently. He doesn't hate us Scirocco right now sees us as an independent entity not under his control who appears to have his best interest at heart but operate in a wildly different manner. We acted in a way the wounded his pride but saved? (it's got a question mark since Scirocco doesn't know if we were acting with paranoia or actually saving him from danger) him from a threat he thought he could handle assuming it actually even existed. Scirocco didn't withdraw his support after the Psycommu system interaction he's watching from a distance and probably listening in through the mobile suit he gave us afterwards to make sure WE aren't trying to supplant him not the other way around.

As for what we can gain from working with Scirocco still he's a narcist, but he still wants the world to be better since he's a high law pilot in the GG games.

The real answer is to create our own moon stationed Titans factions, that's the point of siding with Jerid, no more siding with someone else unless they agree wiith us
>>
>>23788363

A shame things didn’t work out with the Pezun guys. They were vying to take over the Moon to use it to put pressure on the Colonies in Sentinel. Hopefully everyone on our crew plays nice until we can take over the Moon.
>>
>>23788363
I agree. There's no point in us going under Scirocco's wing for example once Jamitov kicks the bucket and everything falls apart.
On the moon, we will possess a very considerable power base. We're exposed to Axis which is the only real problem.
Okay, that's not the only problem, the present concern is that we don't actually own Granada or Von Braun yet.
Anyway. Like I said earlier in the thread, I really don't think there is much stopping Axis here. It won't take them long to reach the Moon, and if they choose to send a whole fleet after us, we can't really fight that. Just gonna have to see how things go and keep our main characters alive I guess.

Preferably it wouldn't be an under his wings situation it would be a "Hey you're the only member of Titan's leadership that doesn't suck let's continue working together since we both don't suck like the majority of the Titans". With our two groups leading this new Titans faction and working to keep each other in check incase either side goes off the deep end like we have up until now. Sirocco hasn't betrayed us or been working against our best interests at all this run backstabbing him would be a bit shitty I feel especially since he's a roach and typically takes whoever kills him down with him so like if he's not causing us problems I'd prefer to not roll the dice and get Kamille lobotomized fighting Sirocco and I don't trust anyone else in our roster to even be able to beat him.

([Destroy the AEUG/the moment of awaited revenge] has won)

Remaining focused on the revenge that he swore upon the AEUG for the deaths of his parents and Lila, Kamille trusts in his own emotions as his mind grows silent, his resolve now fully honed.

>Kamille: If we aren't the ones to finally put the AEUG down, people like the Jamitov and Bask will end up allowing for them to survive another day. We can...no! We have to defeat them!
>Jerid:...So, you are completely dead set on settling it with them first, huh?
>Kamille: Even if you don't agree with me-
>Jerid: They've had it to good for far to long. Still, you really want to do this while Scirocco could use that weapon on us-
>Kamille: If Jamitov had wanted the Moon's cities destroyed, he could've done it with the Titans current resources. If anything, the Moon is the only place we can fight now where we won't have to worry about being fired on from behind.

Pressing his back against the rooms wall, Jerid releases a repressed huff of air. With a final swing of his fist against the wall, he cracks his partially bruised finger as he looks back to Kamille.

>Jerid: No retreats, no concessions, no negotiations. This only ends when the only light illuminating Granada is the flaming ruins of Anaheim.
>Kamille:...Right.

>AEUG Pilot 1: When is second wave arriving?
>AEUG Pilot 2: Beats me. That idiot kid completely bungled the assault on retaking Side 2...at this rate, they'll probably reassign us to babysitting Side 3's defenses.
>AEUG Pilot 3: I never signed up to protect Zeon's homeland. I'd rather go into piracy than debase myself like-
>AEUG Pilot 4: I-incoming! A Titan Battleship!
>AEUG Pilot 1: Tch, they are already trying to attack us again?! Send out a laser communication to Von Braun! If it is only a single ship, we can overwhelm it with-
>AEUG Pilot 5: Gundam!!

Transforming in front of the AEUG's squadron of GM II's, Kamille's Zeta Gundam raises its beam rifle.

>Kamille: (We just have to fight our way back to the Moon. It is right there...the ones who caused all of this...!)
>AEUG Pilot 6: T-the devils! The Black Devils!!

Observing from the bridge of the Alexandria, Drake wrings his hands in excitement at the sheer, overwhelming power of Kamille's performance in the Zeta Gundam.

>Drake: Hehe~! The AEUG are completely powerless! All speed ahead! Give covering fire to-
>Jerid: Let him test that Mobile Suit without any interruptions. Once we land on the Moon, the AEUG will be done for...!

As the Titans Black Devil unit readies for its decisive assault on the AEUG's primary headquarters on the Moon, the scattered remnants of Karaba and other anti-government elements mass outside of the Titans mountainous fortress of Kilimanjaro. Having arrived ahead of Azul, Quattro grows increasingly unnerved by reports of his comrades growing state of instability. Fully aware of Azul's desperate plan to use him as a public rallying figure, Quattro's thoughts turn back to Lalah Sune as he stares into the frozen blizzards enveloping him.

>Reccoa: Lieutenant...

Snapping out of his thoughts, Quattro slowly turns to find Reccoa Londe standing behind him.

>Reccoa: You really shouldn't have brought such young children out here. You seem to have made a real impression on them though, since they were looking for you.
>Quattro: Reccoa...it is good to see you survived.
>Reccoa:...Hah. Is that all you have to say?
>Quattro:...Sorry, but it wouldn't be fair for me to fake my reaction. Could I ask you to do me a favor, Ensign-
>Reccoa: Was it you or Amuro who planned for all of this?
>Quattro:...Does it matter?
>Reccoa: All of us are just a distraction, aren't we? Does it matter what-
>Quattro: Don't rush out looking for death, Reccoa. Even if you have to run away and hide from this battle, just survive.
>Reccoa: Lieutenant...?

Stepping past Reccoa, Quattro keeps his head low as he finds his resolve wavering by the moment. Tightening her fist, Reccoa finds herself growing more disturbed by even Quattro of all people appearing weakened at such a pivotal moment.
>>
>>23791189

Aboard the private shuttle provided for Quattro's journey to Dakar, Azul Stel finally arrives to directly organize the assault on Kilimanjaro, while also organizing for the hijacking of the Dakar Senate.

>Quattro: Karaba, Zeon, even mercenaries...everything we have left is being put into this plan, isn't it? It looks to be far less than what we were expecting-
>Azul: It will suffice. Have you reviewed the script for Dakar? If you have any objections to what was provided, let me know so that-
>Quattro: You look unwell...Amuro.
>Zeon Remnant Commander: Amuro?
>Azul: Give us a moment.

Unsure of the situation, the aged Zeon Officer steps away, leaving Quattro and Azul alone within the briefing room. Without a moment of hesitation, Azul rams Quattro against the wall, ripping away his sunglasses and tossing them aside.

>Azul: Don't. Don't you dare even think about botching this, Char. Don't you dare-
>Quattro: There are far to many holes in this plan. If the attack fails, the Titans will overwhelm us at Dakar. Even if this succeeds, we are placing our faith in the Senate to-
>Azul: You are not backing out of this! Not now! For the first time in your life Char, just commit! Commit, and actually do something fitting of your Deikun name!
>Quattro:...Perhaps it would be better if you spoke to the world. What you are asking me to say...it is not what Lalah would want from-

With a single blinding slap across Char's cheek, Azul steps back from his comrade, stomping upon the partially damaged sunglasses.

>Azul: Go to Dakar.

As Quattro slumps down onto the floor, Azul leaves him to inspect the center point weapon of the assault on Kilimanjaro. A massive, partially incomplete Gundam-type with a gargantuan beam cannon welded onto its arm.

>Anaheim Representative: Lieutenant Stel? We hope you understand the lengths we went to in order to have this readied for-
>Azul: Did you bring the nervous system blitzers?
>>
>>23791211
You know maybe we should have gone to Dakar. If not for any other reason to kill Amuro and end his psychotic acts of terror.
>>
>>23791221
That'd be a wrong choice, you're diving our forces into a four way fight to kill one guy
>>
>>23791211

With his own Gundam being readied for transport to Dakar, Azul stares at the chemical capsules he had secretly requested from Anaheim. Having been dispersed in small doses to specialized units in the AEUG, Azul feels a growing pit in his stomach as he recognizes their true origins, and precisely what they are capable of in higher, unregulated doses. While he searches the makeshift war camp for someone to offer the "privilege" of piloting the weapon extracted from Murasame's hidden facility, he feels a ringing in his ears just as he contemplates what will be done upon Jamitov's death, and the AEUG's revitalization through the Senate. Looking up to the sky, Azul shakes with rage as he finds a swan flying above the clouds, its eyes remaining fixed on him.

>Azul: Get out...! Get-
>Reccoa: Lieutenant Stel.

As Azul stumbles at the sound of Reccoa's voice, the shuttle containing Quattro and the children begins to depart, nearly blowing Reccoa off her feet. Catching her as she is about to tumble over, Azul can't help but hold Reccoa close as he feels a sense of calm at having someone familiar he can speak to.

>Reccoa: Y-you can let go of me now...
>Azul:...You have no idea how good it is to know you made out of California, Reccoa.
>Reccoa: Hmph...just me?
>Azul: Don't act that way. I just...can we talk? Please?

Stepping into an unused supply tent, Azul questions Reccoa on her survival, with Reccoa emotionlessly answering his inquiries.

>Azul:...I'll make it up to you. Whatever it takes, everything that happened to you will be made right. I-
>Reccoa: How many people believed in you, Amuro?
>Azul: What happened at California was a disaster. If this operation succeeds, then everything will be made right. Everything will truly be-
>Reccoa: Is that all you and Char are capable of doing? Just...being inversions of one another?
>Azul: What?
>Reccoa: I think I saw the real Char for the first time today...and I think I am seeing the real Amuro for who he is.
>>
>>23791232
We'd have joined forces with the New Desides group. So it would've be a threeway battle between Bask's forces, us/New Decides, and Amuro's forces.
>>
>>23791233

Just as Azul tries to speak, he feels his consciousness involuntarily touching Reccoa's, with her unrestrained emotions of thoughts flowing onto Azul. Sensing the chaotic flow of Reccoa's emotions and the newborn hate she had developed for him, Azul is also horrified to feel her potential as a Newtype. Biting into his hand, Azul backs away from Reccoa, horrified by the newborn thoughts coming into his mind. Reccoa, having only picked up on partial shards of Azul's ever unstable thoughts, begins to snap at him.

>Reccoa: Was it all an act? You...you were completely aware of what damage your actions would cause. Was all of that talk on the Argama just a way to hide what you really were? There was a young man I met who truly idolized you...I kept trying to tell him you were still alive, but he wouldn't hear it. The real Amuro Ray would have come back to save lives, right? He wouldn't be some kind of Trojan Horse for the revival of Zeon-
>Azul: Stop it-

Clutching the deadly steroids in his palm, Azul tries to back away from Reccoa, mortified at what he is considering.

>Azul: Reccoa, please! Don't say anything else...! I swear to you that all of this is necessary! That if I fail, then a nightmare beyond our worst fears will-
>Reccoa: If it wasn't for you, Char would be a real person! Not the shadow you turned him in-

Crushing the steroids in his hand from the sheer rage and stress overtaking his senses, Azul panics as its contents begin to drip out from his palm. His eyes quivering, Azul forces the liquid into his own mouth as he struts towards Reccoa, his change in posture sending a wave of fear through her body as she stumbles over a table.

>Reccoa: W-what did you just put in your mouth? Amuro, what-

Azul's hand grasps Reccoa's throat, compressing it as he waits for her to gasp for air. As she attempts to thrash free, Azul forces his mouth against Reccoa's, ejecting the contents of the broken capsules down her throat as he keeps her pinned.

>Zeon Remnant Engineer: No weapons? We have multiple bazooka's ready though...
>Doan: Is there any way you can reinforce the knuckles? I just need to be able to get close enough to hit them up close to truly bring out this Mobile Suits abilities.
>Zeon Remnant Engineer: Close combat just isn't viable in this kind of battlefield, especially these older models Doms-
>Doan: I appreciate the concern, but make sure the others are armed.

Taking notice of Azul stumbling towards the dormant, gigantic Gundam, Doan steps away from the Engineers to check on his status, only to find him carrying Reccoa's comatose body. Trudging through the snow to confront Azul, Doan stops as Azul reaches for a gun in his coat, with him now quickly dragging Reccoa.

>Doan: What are you doing?!
>Azul: Putting an end to all of this...!
>Karaba Officer: The hell happened here?
>Azul: Get her into that modified Pilot Suit and lock her into its cockpit! G-g-get i-i-

Feeling the lingering effects of the small dose of the Nervous System Blitzers that had managed to seep into his mouth, Azul takes full hold over Reccoa again, sprinting towards the dormant Mobile Suit as he passes her along to two soldiers, clutching his face desperately to remain in control as he rushes back to his own shuttle. Even from afar, Doan takes notice of the bruising across Reccoa's forehead, causing him to feel an immediate disgust at the idea of Azul causing such a thing. Escaping back to his own shuttle, Azul splashes his face with water as the wave of self-hatred over his actions finally overwhelm him. Collapsing in his private cabin bathroom, Azul feels the full weight of having damned a friend, and a potential lover, to a fate worse than death for the sake of the future...

Deep within Kilimanjaro base, Jamitov Hymen commands the bases defenses against pockets of Karaba and Zeon attacks. Multiple battalions of Marasai's and Hizack rain beam fire down from the spire of the mountain, destroying the scouting enemy forces with ease as they fall back into the expanding blizzard.

>Jamitov: What a waste...have we isolated where they are organizing from yet?
>Kilimanjaro Officer: Surveillance craft are unable to properly track their movements through this storm. They must have planned to attack during it to conceal their movements.
>Jamitov: They obviously are trying to keep us locked down...advance the forward defense forces! Either we will draw them to us, or rout them completely! Either way, this insurrection ends here-

Beltorchika lets out an irritated moan as she slumps next to Jamitov's Command seat, her eyes struggling to remain open from the irritation.

>Jamitov: What happened?
>Beltorchika: M-my head...it feels like a splitting headache...!
>Kilimanjaro Officer: Advance the Mobile Suits! Flush out these terrorist from their holes-
>Jamitov: Actually, delay that order. Recall them back to the mountain and take defensive positions again.
>Kilimanjaro Officer: Supreme Commander?
>Jamitov: (Are trying to lure us out? This attack can't just be scattered remnants...they must be up something.) Beltorchika, go to the infirmary and-
>Beltorchika: I-it is aiming right for us!

Since Quattro/Char is heading to the Senate at Dakar he seriously might end up being killed.

Is it bad that I genuinely hope Jamitov and Beltorchika survive their fight against Amuro's forces. I mean sure Jamitov is a delusional old fool, and we sent Beltorchika to kill him. But damn Amuro and his lackeys are just god awful, and Jamitov being killed here now would be pretty bad for us.
>>
>>23792271
I couldn't really care at all for Jamitov's fate (we are getting a Titans civil war regardless) but I do hope Beltorchika doesn't get stomped by Amuro and murderbot Reccoa. I liked her role in tardwrangling Jamitov and it's kind of sad because if she dies I doubt Kamille would ever even notice.
>>
>>23792278
>f she dies I doubt Kamille would ever even notice.
Yea Kamille has pretty much forgotten her as he went to space and got entangled with Jerid. Tbf though its not like he had time or energy to think about it, dealing with constant life or death situations, dealing with Jerid, banishing the newtype ghosts, etc.

Honestly is the plan to kill Jamitov even still a thing? It was originally Leila's plan when she was being controlled by the spirits. But now Kamille banished those spirits destroying their influence and has joined Jerid in his quest to the take control of the Titans. Our group hasn't exactly taken many steps to take power either, all of Jerids ideas were to go and kill people and then declare himself king, at least with our choice of attacking the moon we're building a base and presumably followers.

WTF AMURO RAYPE
>>
>>23793057

Amuro was looking for at least one person to be in his court by this point. Reccoa just happened to be the incredibly sanctimonious straw that broke the last of his human dignity. Amuro has truly become a Zeek now.
>>
>>23793101
This. If Char was just a little more self-righteous in their conversation beforehand maybe Amuro would have tried to drug and rape him instead. He went pretty far wall-slamming him and tossing his shades.
>>
>>23793119
As much as Char would have loved that Amuro needs Char alive as a pawn.
>>
Char is so pathetic this run. I want to see him go full Tony Soprano mode. Just fat, depressed, and balding with mother issues, but he is still in charge of a criminal organization and gets all the hot women for some reason.
>>
>>23793158

Strange that he and Amuro have basically switched places. Char become more passive and less confrontational while Amuro is now fully gung ho for violence. Really make me wonder how Haman will react when she meets them again.
>>
Are these people even really the characters we knew anymore?
>>
>>23793252
I'd say most of them are, even this sad depressed Char here feels like a normal progression of his character with how the story has went. Char in Zeta has a similar slump when things start going bad there too he's just kicked out of it by being forced into a leadership role and Axis arriving. Here nothing has happened to push him out of his significantly worse slump so he's just rotting.
>>
>>23793252
Copy's biggest diversion from regular UC stuff is he exaggerates how much being a newtype fucks people up psychologically. It's not unreasonable to suggest people aren't really made to handle such feelings, to be fair.
Also, for obvious reasons, actual Gundam was always hesitant to go explicit in sexual terms. Another semi-related anecdote, the scene of Kou injecting combat drugs in 0083 is considered so shocking to the Japanese fandom that some people actually stop rooting for him at that moment, seeing it as a total loss of his credentials as a protagonist - and that's an OVA series, designed for an older audience less likely to be idealistic. My point being, pretty much nothing is off the table in these threads except for whatever Copy personally finds distasteful or just doesn't want to write about for the sake of maintaining focus. It's a different type of tone.
>>
>>23793292

>the scene of Kou injecting combat drugs in 0083 is considered so shocking to the Japanese fandom
That's because people think it's some sort of stimulant, but the novel explains that it's just a supplement.

*THUMP*-*THUMP*

Entombed within a modified Normal Suit, Reccoa's attempts to gasp for air, only to feel her lungs burning from the shallow supply of oxygen still floating around her helmet. Unable see through the completely blackened cockpit, and with her senses dulled, Reccoa feels as if the moment she has long waited for has finally arrived for her. The moment of her end. The moment the world would finally let her rest. As her eyes slowly shut, visions of her violation at the hands of Zeon haunt her, with Azul's recent assault melding into the ceaseless nightmare that had left her shamed for years.

>Reccoa: (Was this...always what I deserved? I...was just running away from the inevitable. A womans only purpose...is to be used by men-)

Just as her mind drifts to the same moment her innocence had been stolen, the dream deviates. Standing atop the bodies of the men who had dehumanized her, Reccoa finds herself surrounded by a lingering miasma, its smothering influence enveloping her entire body.

>???: [YOU ALLOWED THEM TO HURT YOU. YOU DESIRED TO BE BROKEN.]
>Reccoa: (W-what is this...terrible feeling? M-my body...it hurts so much...!)
>???: [REALIZE YOUR TRUE SELF. DESTROY. DESTROY IT ALL. DESTROY EVERYTHING...UNTIL YOU ARE THE ONE WITH THE POWER.]

A haunting red light enshrouds the cockpit Reccoa is sealed within, her every nerve bursting and rapidly repairing themselves as she collapses to the floor.

>???: [BE IN CONTROL. DESTROY EVERYTHING THAT WOULD HARM YOU. LEAVE NOTHING ALIVE...AND THEN-]

As the sclera of Reccoa's eyes decays into a sickly yellow, her thoughts are bombarded with visions of Kamille Bidan being at her mercy.

>???: [HE WILL BE BROKEN...NOT YOU.]

A beam impacts the prototype Psycho Gundam's shoulder, partially burning it away.

>Hizack pilot: Damn, I was off! The wind is throwing off my aim-

A black shadow erupts from the dormant Prototype Psycho Gundam, its frame now moving in an eerily human manner.

>Zeon Remnant pilot: Sir, the spearhead is mobilizing! Operation Mountain Cutter is in effect!

Looking out from his Mobile Suit, Roberto feels a strangely sick sensation as he stares upon the crudely modified Prototype Psycho Gundam.

>Roberto: Just what in the hell did you bring with you, Azul-

A blinding burst of energy rips out from the Burstliner on the Prototype Psycho Gundam, its raw power burning a molten cavity through Kilimanjaro base.

[30% of Titan forces at Kilimanjaro have been annihilated]

>Anaheim Representative 1: Is it a malfunction? All life signs have ceased in the cockpit...
>Anaheim Representative 2: The vital tracking systems were stripped back. Just ignore it and focus on collecting its combat data. (The pilot won't survive for long, but this will be more than enough to satisfy Chairman Carbine-)
>Anaheim Represenative 1: S-stop! Don't interfere with-
>Doan: Mobile Suit pilot, you have done enough! The advance unit can take it from here! Retreat before they focus fire onto your-

Doan shudders at the sounds returning from Reccoa's cockpit, her breathing sounding primal and inhuman.

>Doan: Pilot...what did Amuro do to you?
>Reccoa:Wrrry...!!

Stomping forward, the Prototype Psycho Gundam raises its Burstliner cannon again, readying to burn away even more of the fortress.

>Henken: Have you people gone mad?! You just expect us to abandon the citizens of Von Braun?!
>Wong: Attempts to stabilize the cities population have failed. If the Titans are so anxious to occupy it, they would only be setting themselves up for a disaster. Arrangements have already been made with port staff to ensure-
>Henken: I won't accept it!
>Wong: Bekkener...don't force my hand on this. If you can't comply, I will have no other choice but to remove you from your position. Don't make me do that.
>Henken: You damn...!
>Wong: Your focus should be on protecting Granada. Should the Titans move on Side 3, our victory will be assured.
>Henken:...If you people roll over to the remnants of Zeon, I swear on my dignity as a man that I will treat every last one of you Corporate leeches like I would any Zabi lover.
>Wong:...Why did you have to go and say that? You leave me with no other choice than to-

Henken grabs hold of Wong's neck, hoisting him to the air as Wong gargles for air.

>Henken: If any moves are made to interfere with my crew or anyone else under my Command, the first and only place in Granada to be destroyed with be Anaheim's Corporate Offices.

Tossing Wong aside, Henken looks out to the recently delivered Argama Kai, its hull adored with
a highly detailed Pinup art of Emma with the features of an Angel.

>Wong: *Cough*! How dare-
>Henken: I do dare. When the Titans arrive, everything we have left will be fighting them, not defending the remnants of Zeon.
>>

Henken is like the one person left that actually still believes in AEUG at this point. Maybe they'll die together.
Also
>Argama Kai
That thing probably has some mean defences. Might be best to try and avoid getting close until we can focus fire.
>>
>>23793722
Henken and Wong are both stupid. The entire reason the population hasn't been stabilized is because Titan sympathizers and those that hate Anaheim have been emboldened by Jerid into rising up against them. Doesn't help this is one of the darkest versions of Anaheim yet, with the corporation genociding Ayers City, killing the mayor of Von Braun for relenting to Jerid's demands, conducting human experimentation, etc.

This is good news for Jerid and Kamille though. If those that were following Jerid when Von Braun were occupied are still alive then our crew will be welcomed with open arms when they liberate Von Braun from AEUG. Hopefully seeing another militia of men willing to fight and die for him will remind Jerid of why we needed to conquer the moon and destroy the AEUG.

Faced with the approach of the Black Devil squadron and the armada that had retaken Zedan, AEUG's remaining fleets split themselves between Side 3 and Granada, readying for a decisive engagement that would decide the future of the organization. Aware of Anaheim's arrangements with the true remnants of the fallen Zabi family, Henken calls upon the forces at Granada to gather as he makes a declaration...

>Apolly: Henken...
>Henken transmission: I am not going to sit and here and lie to any of you. The coming battles are not in our favor. The Titans will soon be at the doorstep of both Granada and the Side 3 Colonies. Regardless of where you find yourselves, there will conflict. To those of you who remain at Granada, the only salvation any of us will have is ourselves. To those who choose to fight for Side 3, I ask that you dedicate yourselves to protecting its citizens of the Colonies, not the banner of Zeon.

While many of the vessels at Granada choose to remain, many of the younger recruits and technical staff are requested to aid the Side 3 garrison. Baffled at being amongst those chosen, Roux for her superior to reconsider.

>Roux: Lieutenant Su-
>Kayra: This isn't a punishment, Roux. If anything, I want someone competent keeping a look out for some of these new guys.
>Roux: That isn't fair!
>Apolly: If you won't listen to her advice, then take an order. You keep Side 3 safe, and the reinforcements will make sure you are taken care of.
>Roux: Aren't they a bunch of Zeons? How would you even know?
>Apolly: Try to think a little before you talk. You might be cute, but that will only get you so far.
>Astionage: Kayra, I need to go over the modifications to your Shiki-

Leaping off from the ground, Kayra grabs for Astionage's hand, guiding him away from the others.

>Kayra:...You won't leave, will you?
>Astionage: The Argama is my home as well. Nothing is going to break it on my watch.
>Kayra:...Right.

It was meant to be a grand battle. A moment of absolute victory and liberation for Von Braun. Instead, the forces of Black Devil squadron would find the once vibrant and active Lunar city almost completely darkened, its space ports sabotaged and its shuttle craft destroyed.

>Drake: Anything?
>Alexandria Staff: The power grid has been crippled, but it doesn't look like the AEUG even left anyone here to resist us.
>Drake: Irritating Spacenoids, always resorting to such nasty strategies-
>Jerid: They wanted to ensure there were no eyes on them. Just like Ayers...!

Looking over the ravaged Special Jurisdiction zone's remains, Jerid's hand twitches with scorn and rage at the thought of those who had sworn to follow him being slaughtered by the forces of AEUG, their loyalty and sacrifice forever silenced from history. The Zeta Gundam hovers over Von Braun, with Kamille own anger swelling at the obvious signs of the population of the city being brutalized from the numerous burnt out and decently ravaged buildings.

>Kamille: (The world will never change so long as the adults who currently have power continue to abuse it. Something has to change...!)

Emerging from the Alexandria, one of the Byarlant's moves to the Zeta's side.

>Kamille: Sarah? Or is it Sydle in-
>Jerid: Watch my back.
>Kamille: Jerid? Why are you-

Opening a communication line to the city, Jerid holds nothing back as he calls out for the survivors of his movement to emerge, promising them rightful and immediate retribution as he swears absolute vengeance upon the AEUG's leaders. At first, there was deafening silence. A silence that seemed to never cease...until hundreds of scattered, fuzzy communications ping out from Von Braun's slums.

>Kamille: So many of them now...
>Jerid: They thought that you could be crushed! That would crumble just as the Moon did years ago! Not this time! Not to the true Titans! Rise up! Rise up, and cast your rage upon the AEUG!!

Fuck man, don't tell me we were late..

>>23795878
No seems like the AEUG retreated from the location, probably to build up defense at Granada.

>>23795838
The beacons are lit! Jerido calls for aid!

Massing at the recently recaptured and repaired Zedan Space Fortress, Yazan grows increasingly agitated from the increasing bureaucracy of organizing the Titans invasion forces against Side 3. While he remains ever prepared for the carnage ahead, he allows for repairs to be conducted on any remaining damaged Mobile Suits, intent on granting his subordinates their best chance at a battle for the ages.

>Yazan loyalist 1: A single ship just retook control over Von Braun!
>Yazan: Keh! The AEUG must be sending everything have to defend Side 3-
>Yazna loyalist 2: Boss, you got to hear this! Guy is calling for all-out war on the Moon!
>Yazan: Ho?

Tuning into the transmission being sent out from Von Braun, Yazan listens intently to a impassioned, rage filled speech being delivered by Jerid Messa.

>Jerid transmission: To those who call themselves Spacenoids, there will be no white flags or negotiations! No concessions to the Senate or the weak who have appeased you for far to long!! Your diseased ideology will die by the hand of those who carry the true will of the Titans!!
>Yazan: Hmhmhm...well, isn't this fun?
>Jerid transmission: To those who still consider themselves citizens of the Earth, stand aside and witness, or stand strong and earn your place in the future! To those who have abandoned their very humanity as Zeon did, step forward and die now, or escape to be trampled by the future! Our advance will only end once every last one of your kind is eradicated!!

Yazan reaches for his crotch, giving it a firm squeeze as he chuckles to himself.

>Yazan: Oh, he just slugged a hornets nest~!
>Yazan loyalist 3: Do you think a single ship can really-
>Yazan: Looks like the real carnage will be at Granada...and I want a piece of that action. All of you are getting a piece of it!

[A fleet under Yazan's Command is now on route to invade Granada alongside the Black Devil unit]

>??? 1: We await your command, Queen Zabi.
>??? 2: An attack strategy has already been mapped out. With your blessings, your rightful holdings shall be returned to you-
>Emerald-Eyed Queen: Announce our return.
>??? 2: My Queen-
>Emerald-Eyed Queen: The Vizier will strike down any who would dare a cowardly attack against us. Once they have realized the futility of fighting us, I can render my judgement upon those who remain. The Newtypes who have grown since my birth birth will be saved...and their enemies will be punished for their bar...b-barma-

Quickly leaning down to her ear, the Queen's red haired attendant quickly whispers a word into her ear.

>Emerald-Eyed Queen: Barbarism.
>??? 3: Your generosity is without measure, your grace...! With your blessings, please allow me to spread your magnanimity! It is what the Vizier would have-
>??? 4: Wanna hold my hand~? Maybe a pat on the head? You can even get a touch of brown on your nose if you need a little something extra-
>??? 3: Hold your tongue! How dare you act with such vulgarity in front of her grace!
>Emerald-Eyed Queen: Silence yourself for a moment.

Reaching her hand out, the small framed leader of the Zeon remnant closes her eyes, before giving a small hum.

>Emerald-Eyed Queen: Your intentions are pure. Accomplish this task, and I shall speak of it to the Vizier.
>??? 3: Your Grace...!

Looking towards the Zedan space fortress, the Emerald-Eyed Queen tightens her hand in anticipation.

>Emerald-Eyed Queen: (Miss Haman...please come home to me soon.)
