time to gut a fucking pig boys

>>23909337
Please refrain from talking about Lady Haman like that.

Just wanted to say that sending Leila after Four should work the best, and i'm not saying it only for her ms specs
I mean, how would it look for Leila and the others, given our goat track record, if he turns up with a love-hazed, brain damaged, half naked, knocked-up Four that believes she just had intense nt-pinch sex with Kamille? Our guys is quite stressed as of late..

Mashy needs to take responsibility and join the Olympians and bring Judau ina s well as his best man for the wedding

>>23909665
Can someone explain their thoughts on not going to kill Buffalo? Or is is that they just wanted to get Sarah under control?

>>23909753

The latter most likely. Leila also might not be thrilled that we might be letting Sarah run rampant but also Buffalo has done so much heinous shit here that Leila can't really complain without being a hypocrite.

Refusing to surrender to his emotions, Kamille places his trust in Leila to find and safely recover Four. Giving chase after Sarah's Byarlant, Kamille manages to intercept her just as she breaches through the Colonies outer mirror plating.

>Sarah: K-Kamille?! Why are you-
>Kamille: After what you and Four pulled, I am not letting either of you out my sight for a long time.
>Sarah:...I-
>Kamille: That bastard adult who swayed Four into this is going to pay in full, I absolutely promise you that.

As Sarah begins to calm herself, her Byarlant is maneuvered to grasp onto the Zeta's shoulder, with both machines descending down to Buffalo's estate. Observing the intense infighting spreading across the Colony, Kamille's anger simmers to the surface yet again. Just as the Zeta lands just outside of the estate, he finds Buffalo clumsily shambling his way to where those he had brutalized are beginning to fully mass.

>Kamille: Stop! Don't you dare take another step, you wretched filth!
>Buffalo: Grehh...!! You...worthless boy...! Four...she was perfection...!!

Sarah takes aim with her Byarlant's beam claw, ready to fire on Kamille's command. Grasping his chest, Buffalo yanks away his coat, revealing much of his upper body to be laced with invasive, life preserving cybernetics.

>Buffalo: How much more are you going to take from me?! Zeons...!!

Clutching his crude implants, Buffalo stumbles to his knees as he points towards the rioters breaking through his now weakened and scattered security forces.

>Kamille: Why? Why Four and Sarah into this?!
>Buffalo:I won't let history repeat itself again...! Zeon...all they have ever done is steal my life away from me...!! Four...she was my wifes wrath...given form...!!
>Kamille: Insane bastard...!
>Buffalo:...*wheeze* Kill every last one of them!! Until Zeon has ceased to exist!!

Just as Buffalo's Loyalist prepare to open fire with far more lethal weapons, the crowd is silenced by a single act.

*CRUNCH*

Both have cool color hairs and autistic duelists.
Their child will be like Maryanna von Kohl from /m/SV.

>>23909843

Having lost his composure, Kamille stares down at the sight of where his Zeta Gundam's hand had crashed down. The sheer force of the impact detonates Buffalo's body like a balloon, his blood and the synthetic liquids stimulating his body still flowing out from under his Mobile Suits palm.

>Kamille: I...I just lost control over myself. He...dammit, because of him-

Just as two of Buffalo's Security Officer's aim their rifles for the crowd, both of them are crushed alive by the claw of Sarah's Byarlant, with her making an open declaration on Kamille's behalf.

>Sarah: Believe in the power of the Zeta! Neither the armed forces of Axis, or the extremist who had brutalized you will ever be able to match his vision for the future! The traitor calling herself "Four" was struck down for the atrocities she had condoned, just as those who still threaten your lives shall be!
>Kamille:...Sarah? What did you just say?

Emboldened by the support of Sarah and Kamille, the rioters plunge themselves against the remain Security Forces, brutally ravaging them with makeshift weapons and stolen fire arms as they show no mercy.

>Side 5 Insurrectionist 1: Death to the Federation!
>Side 5 Insurrectionist 2: Zeta~! Zeta~! Zeta~!
>Side 5 Insurrectionist 3: Send word to the other Colonies! Liberty shall be ours! With the Zeta, we shall be truly free!! Yeah!!

Still dazed from what he had done to Buffalo, Kamille slowly turns the Zeta's head to face Sarah, his anger surfacing against as her scapegoating of Four finally processes in his mind.

>Kamille:...How dare you? Sarah, what the hell are you thinking? Answer me-
>Sarah: About you, Kamille. I am thinking completely about what is best for you right now...all of them believe in you, just as I do now. There are still so many others like Buffalo...people that have no right to exist in the world you will bring them...Master-

Without warning, Kamille rams the Zeta against Sarah's Byarlant, pinning it into Buffalo's estate.

>>23909989
I actually just had a feeling this would happen
Just like with Jerid having his own loyalists from the oppressed, killing the pig grants Kamille his own, except Kamille might have a larger size and doesn’t really want them

>>23909753
Sarah under control. I had an inkling that following through on a mind-linked person's stated wants would be less than ideal, which has happened before, but I'm never able to put that to words until it's too late.
I think the Buffalo-Kill train had too much steam for that argument to work though, even if I had managed to bring it up.

>>23910019
>>23909989
All in all this could be pretty beneficial to us since it does give Kamille a massive boost on the colonies opinion of us which is what our goal originally was, just wish it didn't have to do with scapegoating Four when she could've just used Buffalo for that, BUT she also is doing what Four told her to do but now I'm not sure what would happen when Four comes back

>>23909989

>Sarah: W-why? Why are you-

Having finally deduced Sarah's true intentions, Kamille fails to secure the Zeta's open comms as his enraged screams are left open for all to hear as he continues to press the Byarlant against the now tumbling structure.

>Kamille: Is this how he would have acted?! Would he have congratulated you for casting aside others for his own gain?! Did you intend for all of this happen, just so I could be his damned surrogate, Sarah?! I am not Scirocco!!

Despite her sheer panic at Kamille's display, Sarah maintains enough of her sanity to recognize Kamille's open communications to be a threat to his credibility. Boosting herself and Kamille into the skyline of the colony, Sarah holds the Zeta in her Byarlants arms as she tries to stammer out a justification.

>Sarah: I beg of you...please don't let Four's sacrifice be for nothing. You are not Scirocco. Never, ever compare yourself to him...because you are superior in every way. Superior to Scirocco, to Jerid, to anyone and anything in this world! I want to be strong enough to protect you. To see you create the world I believed Scirocco was working towards-
>Kamille: You did all of this...for that garbage?!
>Sarah: Kamille...!
>Kamille:...Damn it!!!

Kamille releases a raw howl of despair, fully aware that should he step back from Sarah's words now, that he would jeopardize everything that had just been sacrificed. He had found himself playing the part of the man who Sarah had once worshipped...of the same betrayer who had nearly struck them down with the Colony Laser.

[Kamille and Sarah have begun to aid in the purge of Federation extremist on Side 5]

Meanwhile, Leila uses the Gundam "Eye-Spy's" enhanced sensors to trace the signs of battle that had occurred at Side 5, tracking Four's crashed Byarlant to the inside of the Colony. Finding the Byarlant in such a horrifically damaged state, Leila does take notice of a hastily bent metal plate wrapped around the Byarlant's cockpit.

>>23910029
It's simple, we just need to give Four a cool as fuck mask to use when she sorties, or some sunglasses.

>>23910045

Unsure of what to make of the Byarlant's condition, Leila places her Gundam's hand against the crashed Mobile Suit to attempt a skin-contact communication.

>Leila: Miss Four, can you hear me?! Please give me any sign you can hear me!

Increasing her volume, Leila tries to focus her hearing to pick up on any sign of activity inside of Four's cockpit...with her hearing a small, rhythmic sound of breathing. Yanking away the metal wrapped around the Byarlants cockpit, Leila scrambles out from her cockpit to check on Four's condition, finding her body completely exposed as Four hugs her own body. Pressing herself against Four, Leila frantically searches her comrade for any injuries, only to recognize a familiar, bothersome scent on Four's lower body. Leila's vision quivers from stress as locks eyes with Fours. Leila bites onto her thumb, her words constantly dying in her throat as she tries to find a way to comfort Four from what she perceives to be a violation. In the moment Leila starts to whimper out a sympathy, she finds herself being hugged onto by Four.

>Four:...Are we still friends?
>Leila: W-wha...?! Of course we are! Why would you even...oh, Four...! Whoever did this...this awful-
>Four: Can we go back to him now? I really want to rest...
>Leila: To "him"? Oh...Kamille. Four, if you need someone to talk to, I-
>Four: It the greatest feeling I have ever had. I...want to be with him again.
>Leila: Excuse me? F-Four, what are you-
>Four: I never want to stop. I want...Kamille to do this with me again.
>Leila:...What in absolute hell are you talking about?!

[Four has survived without injury...however-]

(Game will resume this evening)

>>23910099
All things considered, this could've been worse, I'm mostly pleased with how things turned out.

>>23910101
I'm pretty pissed that Sarah dragged us into this shit the way she did, but at the very least I mostly got the outcome I wanted from this choice, it seems.
We'll have to keep Sarah and Four on a tighter leash once things calm down, and Kamille needs some time off from constantly dealing with all this shit.

Looks like things were going too well for us, we had to have brain damage reintroduced to the newtypes for additional wrangling when we already also have a Puru to deal with
It's a miracle Leila is still normal. We should put her in charge if we ever have to leave again. She can actually be trusted to act as a proxy for Kamille, if a bit more moderate. Which is exactly what you'd want rather than someone like Sarah flying off the handle thinking she knows what we'd want.

>>23910112
Leila shares Kamille's "I really don't want to fight this retarded war" view and doesn't suck his dick anymore and is rather neutral (if a bit judgemental) towards his choices, so I agree that she's probably our best candidate for 2nd in command right now. It also helps that she's built a steady and friendly rapport with the rest of our crew (she stayed, fought alongside and nearly died with them at their darkest hour) whereas Four and Sarah went off to do whatever the fuck this was.

>>23910045
At the end of the day, Sarah is still an unstable Newtype teen prone to this sort of thing
We have learned in a relatively harmless fashion that she isn't to be trusted with leadership of any kind of operation unless we are really desperate. That's worth something.

>>23910129
Leila certainly still wants to suck Kamille’s dick, but the difference is that while she is affectionate to Kamille she’s also the one who’s been with him the longest, and was bonded the longest while witnessing him at his best and worst so she knows entirely what he’s capable of, she also adopted many of his habits and behaviors, even as far as talking like he does when she was solo defending the side against one of the 3D
Which can translate to her being judgemental but I think in her mind she thinks she has to still ‘wrangle’ Kamille morally.
She doesn’t put him on a pedestal anymore like Four and Sarah does but she does still love him and want him, perhaps as a equal

>Four and Mashy
Cute!!
>Jerid and Fa
Have they had a shotgun wedding yet???

The shipping this run is wild, and we still don't know what happened on Axis and if it was, in fact, the most cursed threesome of all time.

>>23910316
Going back on it, Four and Sarah works best as Kamille’s bodyguards who never leave his side anymore, not so sure about Four right now but it’s clear both of their strengths are best with fighting and not long term planning or leadership roles(although Four was fine as a ship captain), as far as Kamille’s detachment is concerned Leila is a superior choice as second in command now since she’s proven herself in ways the two couldn’t

>>23910099
goddamn, these horny bitches are gonna be the death of our boy kamille
somehow leila has become the most rational one, the useful homegirl

I do not think there's a great way to fix Four or Sarah either, Four's got space madness in her pussy and there's no known cure, and Sarah's got space madness in the brain and unfortunately that's an old yeller type situation.

>>23910531

It's really gonna become 'How much is the Jerid bromance worth' as a result of this. Granted it was always going to be that but it's pretty fucked that Kamille is being pushed into it through circumstances not just beyond his control but by those who he had confidence in understanding his needs and wants. I don't even blame Four for everything going on, she's been the same fight nut we turned her into way back when.

>>23910531
>>23910574
It pretty much depends on how Four acts around Kamille now but for Sarah you’re just going to have her be his bodyguard since she can’t be trusted to do things on her own for now, she turned herself into a zealot and gave Kamille his own following which in theory is good but the way she went about it is wrong.

I think the friction will probably be how Leila can be useful to Kamille in ways Sarah could only dream of but we need to get her past that hump of trying to prove herself to Kamille

>>23910624
Like I’m down with killing the pig, I’m down with hyping up the colonies to side with us but we do not throw our fellow olympians under the bus

The fucked thing about the Sarah situation is that we can't really solve it in a way that won't just further her own delusions about Kamille. We can punish her, send her away, bond with her, or just keep her extra close to make it clear she can't be trusted to act alone, she'll still see us as her new, better Scirocco unless we presumably stop EVERYTHING just to make this crystal clear to her, maybe with the help of Leila as well.

>>23910710
We could just push her out of an airlock.

>>23910710
Well it also doesn’t help that on the bare basics Kamille IS a new better Scirocco, he has a harem of newtypes, he seemingly attracts more newtype girls and yet he doesn’t use them as tools and treats them like people. He’s smart enough to design his own mobile suits(better than scirocco himself) and is a superior newtype/pilot and has a superior goal

There’s nuance to it obviously, but if you look at it that way he quite literally is just superior to scirocco in every way except being a treacherous plotter

Even if Sarah is building Kamille's following in the wrong way, the act of it is still necessary. Kamille is the co-founder of the Olympians and has already shown himself to the masses curbing Jerid's worse impulses. So the black devil is known as the more reasonable of the Olympians ironically. Sarah taking that further and pushing him into a Messiah figure role is morally wrong. However it should mean Kamille has his own base of supporters and fanatics beyond the Alexandria now. Which should hopefully give us some boons or aid.

>>23910624
>>23910710
Sarah is going to devolve rapidly following this, mark my words.

1) CopyX has no fucking brakes in his writing style, bad impulse -> horrible action -> horrible consequences tends to be the shortest line in a world he's authoring
2) Sexual rivalry makes women insane even when they're not Tomino women.
3) Kamille hates the killing and the insanity, and hesitates as often as he acts when the madness calls for more killing. Sarah will do everything she can to be 'the best girl' by stepping into the breach
4) Kamille has no tools for guarding his emotions or thoughts from other newtypes. He can influence, he can be influenced, and while he can control himself, he cannot keep himself from influencing others.
5) Puru will fuck all of this up as soon as she gets an opportunity. That bitch is gonna turn into space Chucky and stab some of these poor women.

>>23910574
It'll be a choice I bet, how to follow and conclude the bromance. Jerid will do everything he can to develop a cult of personality around himself, practically on impulse while knowing there are better ways. Kamille cannot curb him without being with him, and the fronts are too wide apart for that to be a practical option without basically bugging the game out and devoting all the resources to a joint assault on Axis and the Titans. Kamille will face the choice of either joining that cult of personality, building a rival one, tearing down Jerid's, or facing it all alone/maybe with his little harem. His subordinates are fanatically devoted to him, and his partner is basically psychotic. Kamille will have to let go of a lot of illusions to make the Olympians work.

Bringing Jerid to heel, making him think long-term and act like a responsible ruler just isn't viable, and the harem will suffer casualties from infighting or the psychotic molested clone girl or from the coterie of demented rapists that follow Yazan and Jerid around.

>>23910794

The solution here is simple. We just need to add Jerid Yazan and Scirocco to the harem to balance out the woman insanity. If Sarah wants a cult so bad she can be on the same pecking order as everyone else. (Ple never, ever gets to join even after becoming legal)

>>23910817
>Add Jerid, Yazan, and Scirocco to the harem.
Hilarious. Pride Month indeed with that solution.

>>23910851
Scirocco is basicall one beating away from getting on his knees and begging for Kamille to let him suck him off. So close to perfection.

>>23910794
I don’t think Ple, at least the one we have whoever she is(original or a clone) Is much of a threat, her zeta steal plan involved hiding in a box like she’s solid snake and got foiled by one of our guys, her only ace in the whole was the char trick and it doesn’t seem like she can do it again, she can’t fight either nor has any actual weapons or weapon training.

>>23910045
Could've gone better, could've gone much worse. We're definitely going to have to pull Sarah off to the side and talk to her somewhere private.
>>23910099
Now this is what I was worried about. Leila is going to have some choice words to give Kamille when she sees him and we're probably going to have Four jumping his bones on first sight. We're gonna be in for rough waters.

>>23910956
Four loves Mashy now.

>>23910956
I think the appropriate response from Kamille to any accusation aught to be "With what fucking time?"
Four thinks she fucked Kamille, which is physically impossible to have happened, obviously, I think Leila's smart enough to figure that one out on her own. But it doesn't dispel the idea that she does think of him that way and it only makes her suspicions about how we treat her seem worse than it really is, not unlike how Fa saw Leila. Saying what we did to Ramsus also only contributed to that. Leila's by far our most reasonable groupie, so unless Four pours some brain damaging horny into her as well, I think it'll be relatively easy to navigate.

>>23910956
>>23910984
I’d be shocked if Leila couldn’t figure out Four was a virgin, unless I guess she wasn’t before due to literal lab fuckery

I’m sure it’s a low chance she’d really suspect that Kamille did this especially after Kamille didn’t touch both her or Ple when he could have

While Luna II falls under the control of Axis, and the battle for Side 5 draws to its conclusion, a clandestine meeting is prepared amongst a group of Political Elites from the Republic of Zeon, along with Mike Saotome standing before them as a representative of Jerid Messa's character and usefulness to their cause.

>Mike: With this information at my disposal, it is more than likely that the entire Zabi family was purged as a result of the Karn families coup at Axis. The current leadership there no longer support the best interest of Zeon.
>Monaghan: You would propose that we should fully submit ourselves to the whims of these Lunar radicals?
>Mike: Forgive my bluntness, Vice Foreign Minister...but your father was the man who actively signed the surrender of the Principality. You of all people should be able to recognize that certain concessions are required for survival...and future thriving.
>Monaghan: And as a phantom left behind by Kycilia Zabi's Agency, you must have realized by now that our interest lay in Side 3's supremacy, not in the restoration of the fallen Zabi family.
>Mike: I assure you that my proposition has little to do with preserving their fallen dynasty. Rather, such a union would grant Side 3 absolute legitimacy in its position to manage future trade arrangements with the Jupiter Energy Fleet. The other Sides would be granted preferential treatment, while Earth Federation would have little other choice than to comply with our future conditions.
>Side 3 bureaucrat: Bah! This is little more than an half-cocked plot to install a new dictatorship to replace the fallen Zabi clan! As you said, their bloodline has been extinguished by those traitorous Karns!
>Mike: The public is unaware of that. Even the majority of Axis's population likely believes the child calling herself "Mineva Zabi" to be the true heir to their family. So long as the child is safely secured, she can continue to serve that position for Side 3's prosperity.

>>23911047

>Stampa: While I for one am not against having the child used in a political marriage, you would ask us to place our futures into that rabid hound Jerid? I fail to see how placing an Earthnoid barbarian onto the throne is supposed to install confidence in-
>Mike: His entire genetic lineage was exterminated on Earth. Any connection he has outside of this political movement is simply gone by this point. He would be incorruptible, so long as he is managed properly. Are there not officials who were not invited here today who are intrinsically controlled by foreign interests?
>Stampa: W-well that-
>Mike: I said "those who were not invited" lord Halloi. Your dealings with Jupiter will be discussed at a different time, but they are inconsequential for now.
>Stampa: Y-yes, they are...
>Monaghan: Do you have assurances the man can be disposed of as necessary?
>Mike: It would trivial for me, Vice Foreign Minister. A monument project has been under construction at the site of where Von Braun was destroyed. My proposition for the area to be mined was denied...but investments could be funneled into it to avoid any of you being detected in supporting this conflict directly.
>Monaghan:...We require Federation government to be crippled.
>Mike: That...as it stands, the Earth is already embroiled in numerous Civil Wars-
>Monaghan: If we are to believe that this "Messa" dynasty you are forming will truly have any value, surely he would be more than capable of removing what remains of their tattered government. The fanatics under Bask are but a horde of murderous extremists, but the common masses will still flock back into the welfare state of the Federation will lure them with if we fail to remove them.
>Mike:...Attacking the Earth directly was precisely what had lead to the decline of the Principality, sir.
>Monaghan: Which why we expect him to succeed where the Zabi's failed.

As the clandestine meeting draws to a close, Mike can't help but stare to the ground below.

>>23911068
I can feel Mike's disappointment in Monaghan. He's telling him the only way he'd support what Mike see's as their best option by far involves Jerid moving heaven and earth in a way that's impossible for the movement right now. Let's see if Mike is so in favor of us that he's going to recommend a coup against the people who disagree with him in Side 3.

>>23911081
It feels like giving Side Three autonomy and safety is easier than managing the Olympians' aces right now.

>>23911047
So Mike was one of Kycillia's boys, huh. And it seems he wants to steal Mineva to legitimize Side 3, maybe even allowing them to pull some Axis folks post-war. It's not the worst idea. I'm unfamiliar with the happenings in Unicorn, but I'm pretty sure something similar happened, right? As long as these fuckers don't go for a power grab and keep to themselves, I don't really care.
Hopefully Mike can actually pull some tricks for us and not just plot our downfall. He seems like a pragmatic guy, so I'm not sure whether or not he's lying here. You can never really know whether or not someone's a frothing at the mouth Zabist hoping to revive their legacy, but it always feels safer to err on the side of 'yes'.
>>23911068
Ah, alright then, that answers some things. This does just kind of give off the impression that Mike might just be saying whatever he can to get Side 3 to support us and they're either just playing the field or they're simply not satisfied with what what lenience they have already been granted and are hellbent on the Fed's destruction. Which we probably shouldn't do. Not totally, at least. It would probably be smarter to install some provisional government and eventually let Earth govern itself whilst we resolve its big disputes.
This does feel like a soft confirmation that the mining op was some sort of trojan horse. Possibly an opportunity to surround our capitol if necessary.
It is rather heartening for Mike to not want to needlessly throw us into the Earth grinder prematurely, even if only for pragmatic reasons.

>>23910794
>CopyX has no fucking brakes in his writing style, bad impulse -> horrible action -> horrible consequences tends to be the shortest line in a world he's authoring
Not to be too mean to the guy running this quest for us but it would be really nice to have two competent allies at a time instead of whichever allies aren’t in the same room as us picking the dumbest possible way to handle things behind our back. I feel like we’re trapped in a tardwrangling cycle where we ditch our allies to deal with whatever horrible crisis another one has caused and while we’re dealing with that, the others have immediately caused a new problem while we were away. Like we’re gonna finally get Sarah under control and recover Four and have to put up with her nonsense, then like we’re gonna go back to Side 3 and discover Jerid carved his face on Deikun’s statue and pissed off the locals or something. Then while we’re fixing that Leila is going to crash the fuck out over Ple or something. It’s just exhausting knowing we can’t leave anybody alone for too long. Do we have literally ANY allies that we can put in charge of something and feel like there’s a 85% chance they won’t wander off, overexecute an order in the most maliciously compliant way Copy can think of, do something completely orthogonal to our goals, or get distracted by something?

We make the Nahel Argama crew look like a well disciplined navy.

>Axis Captain: Beachhead team, maintain firing positions!
>Gallus-J pilot 1: Why are they so heavily concentrated here of all places?!
>Gallus-J pilot 2: Sir, we just finished questioning one of their pilots!

A lone Axis vessel finds itself crashed on the northern coast of Australia, faced with numerous task forces of fanatical Titan forces mobilizing to occupy Torrington completely. Forcing the truth of the attack operation out from the pilot, Axis's forces learn of the purpose of these focused assaults...

>Axis Captain: A nuclear stockpile?! Only Luna II was supposed to be hoarding those! Damn the Federation, violating their own regulations and treaties...!

Multiple beams impact the engines of the Endra-class, forcing it to crash against the coastline.

>Axis Captain: Get a laser communication to the orbital fleet! These bastards can't be allowed to gain nuclear weaponry!

Fighting to the absolute death, the Axis Vanguard unit survives long enough to send a laser message to the fleet in space, alerting them to a hidden cache of nuclear weapons being hunted for in Australia. Meanwhile at Torrington, the White Dingo's are finally routed from their sniper nests. Unable to fight any longer, the team abandons their Mobile Suits to survive another day.

>Maximilian:...So, there goes plan A through Z. Any other letters you stashed away in case this happened?
>Anita: Oh, would you shut up? Now isn't the time to be acting like a-
>Leung: We have to destroy the armory. The ecological damage will be disastrous to Australia, but the damage will at least be concentrated.
>Maximilian:...Jeez.
>Rayer: Consider it a volunteer mission. Leung and I will handle it-
>Maximilian: Can't we just snitch about what is happening here?
>Leung: If Zeon learns of this place again, they won't hesitate to capture it themselves. No...this is our last option.

>>23911127
I mean, it is quite literally a ship ran by kids
I for one voted for the Alexandria to stick together, but I also think you are exaggerating for a bit, Jerid and Yazan both took a territory without our aid, Sarah went nuts yes but it was foreshadowed and all Four did was follow and protect her(to the point of being her scapegoat), we already knew Four wasn't socially bright, she's only good at reading fellow newtypes

Leila defended a losing battle twice, and only lashed out after seeing Kamille with Ple and rightfully upset she was left on a suicide mission but ultimately came out of that a way stronger person

>>23911127
You're exaggerating our problems. Jerid's been continually this run refusing to act like a tard and instead handle things well in the moment and wait for us to meet up with him before finalizing any big decisions, the worst he's done is try and break ground on a mining operation he thought was a sure thing while practically mind broken because Mike told him Bask killed his entire bloodline and frankly I'm giving him grace for that once instance due to that.

We just don't trust Jerid because he's a notoriously flaky character who has an inevitable conflict point later down the line. He's been great this run and it was great in the last Titans run too where he dealt with the Argama for us and then we got to send him to Jupiter to turn the Jupiter problem from something abstract and rotting us from the inside into a problem solvable by beating it up while also forcing one of our two biggest enemies to become our ally to handle him.

>>23911143
the one consistent with Jerid is that he's such a cockroach that he's a good "solve this problem with a big hammer" tool, he's a lot of things including unstable, but he typically doesn't fail on the results tab.

>>23911158
Yeah and this run he's consistently gone "Man Kamille do you think hitting this thing with a hammer is a good idea?" then followed whatever we answered to the question.

>Jerid:...So, the bitch has that whole rock booby trapped.
>Anaheim Technician: The moment the unmanned craft entered Axis's airspace, they almost instantly intercepted and destroyed. From the footage we managed to capture, they are the same devices that were being used against Granada to project those Mobile Suit images.
>Jerid:...Alright. It is settled then. How many Pulse Thrusters would we need to make this happen?
>Anaheim Technician: Given the size of this asteroid, it would take months just to install them alone. The main problem is the upper section. That alone-
>Jerid: We don't need it. We hack that off and use the lower spike base only. Give me your fastest estimate! Come on, Ándale, rápido!
>Jerid Loyalist: Boss, you have a priority message coming from Side 3.
>Jerid: Mike worked fast. Make sure everything I described ends up on the design you present me later! We are going with "Operation Nosferatu" for the name!

Unshaven and fully focused onto his plan for an absolute and decisive victory against Axis, Jerid prepares to speak with Mike Saotome over a private communication link, only to find Beecha holding his own against two grown men assaulting him.

>Olympian Soldier 1: Hope you weren't to attached to those front teeth, you little shitheel!
>Olympian Soldier 2: All you had to do was lick his boot!
>Beecha: You damn adults think you are so hot, ganging up on me?!

Appreciating Beecha's moxie, Jerid restrains the smaller of the two men assaulting him.

>Olympian Soldier 2: Boss Messa?! W-we were just-
>Jerid: I don't care who started this, just finish it.
>Olympain Soldier 1: The little bastard got lippy with us! We are just putting him in his natural place-

Tackling his head into the lunarian's crotch, Beecha wildly swings his fist against his attackers nose, frantically trying to break his skull open out of rage.

>Jerid:...Not bad.

Just as Beecha prepares another punch, Jerid pushes Beecha off of the soldier with his boot.

>Olympian Soldier 1:...Gweeh! My...teef...you knocked oush my teef...!
>Beecha: Choke on them, asshole! I've beaten bigger than you into coma's!

As the soldier spits out his broken front teeth, Beecha grabs for them, forcing them back into his attackers mouth.

>Beecha: I said choke on them!!
>Jerid: Well, the mouse finally shows he can be a man after all.
>Beecha: H-huh? Oh...hell-

Jerid puts more force into pushing Beecha back with his boot, this time fully throwing Beecha onto his back.

>Beecha: H-hey, I was defending myself! Please, don't hurt me!
>Jerid: Shut up, will you?

Jerid plants his boot to Beecha's chest, keeping him pinned to the metallic ground.

>Jerid: In this world, the weak exist to serve the strong. Then there are people like you who can't pick a side of what they are.
>Beecha: M-man, please! I just wanted a better life!
>Jerid: I get that. Earn it, or get stomped out trying. If that weasel who clinging to your side isn't much different, you two might actually have a future beyond being "Spacenoids".

[Beecha and Mondo are being readied for intense training to be turned into soldiers]

So, we were right about the mines. Maybe the mineral reserves themselves were real, maybe the mines would be real too, but the main purpose of the project was embezzlement. From Mike's disappointment, it seems it is at least more difficult to embezzle the required funds from the monument.

>>23911127
We are, to be frank, monsters in direct combat. We haven't lost a battle since the really early days working under Jamaican against both Amuro and Char at once, and when we concentrate our aces in one place, we look unbeatable right now. Copy is obliged to come up with narrative reasons for us to struggle and divide our forces.

>>23911304
More limited too.
A mine could operate for years with a wide variety of expense types to hide skimming in. Once a monument is complete, no matter how much of it is hollowed out or cheaped out, it's done. Though I guess Mike can always steal from the donation box that might be attached to it afterwards.

>>23911127
Look, I wrote what you're replying to you and I kind of agree, but that would be way, way out of line for a story set in UC for the problem to not be tardwrangling impulsive, violent, horny people.

[EPISODE 24: TO BE THE ABSOLUTE VICTOR]

Peace had been a luxury granted only to the most fortunate in these trying times. Amongst those able to truly remain free from the chaos of the world, Sayla Mass still chooses to stand as a major contributor to efforts aiding those affected by Cyber Newtype experimentation. While her young daughter and Rosammy play together in the garden outside of her private manor, Sayla discusses the rehabilitation progress of subjects recovered from Murasame's fallen labs over a video communication.

>Rehabilitation Officer: Many of the amputee's are responding to the prosthetics quite well. Deux, could you come over and say hello? Uh, young Deux has taken on some...peculiarities about her swimming habits. Jorgain decided to indulge her fascination with swimming and developed a harness frame for her to-

Peeking out from the Rehabilitation Centers pool, Deux uses the fin-like harness surrounding the lower half of her body to swim over to the Caretaker. Leaning down to Deux, the Caretaker slips off the breathing mask on her mouth, allowing her to speak properly.

>Deux: I'm a mermaid~.
>Sayla: You are doing much better now.
>Rehabilitation Officer: Wouldn't you prefer to use the whole set? You swim even better with the arm attachments-

Splashing water onto the Caretaker, Deux lets out a playful giggle as she slips back into the water, her body fully acclimating to her lost limbs. Meanwhile, Rosammy scurries around outside as she attempts to find Sayla's daughter in their game of hide-and-seek. Maintaining her spot behind a tree, Mihari chortles to herself, confident in her hiding spot. Suddenly, the joy on Rosammy's face shifts into a focused concern as she instantly stares over to the tree Mihari is hiding behind.

>Mihari: (D-did she hear me?! Oooh, that is just-)
>???: Beautiful...

Mihari yelps in fear, caught off guard by the approach of a stranger from behind another tree.

>Mihari:S-s-s...STRANGER DANGER!!

Sayla is immediately alerted to the scream from outside, with her rushing out to her balcony to inspect the source of it. Looking down to the garden, Sayla finds Rosammy thrashing against a disheveled man on the ground, while Mihari begins to wave her arms up to her mother.

>Mihari: Mommy! Some weird guy just tried to touch me!
>Sayla: Get inside!

Sayla reaches for a rifle hidden under her master bed, rushing outside with it to support Rosammy in apprehending the unknown stalker that had attempted to harm her child.

>Sayla: Rosammy, get back from him! I can take it from here!
>Rosammy: Something feels very wrong about this man! I won't let him hurt any of you, Mistress!!
>Sayla: (Did someone from those labs finally come for her...or for all of us? Whatever the case...!)

Pulling Rosammy off from the intruder, Sayla aims the rifle for the man...only for her to immediately drop it as she recognizes the battered and tired man staring back at her.

>Rosammy: Mistress!!
>Sayla: No, stop it!
>Rosammy: B-but he is-
>Sayla: I said stop! *Sniff*...what happened to you? Why...oh...big brother...!

>>23911714
I guess not getting Du-chan was the better choice. She gets to play mermaid with Sayla while we're close to getting a stomach ulcer from tardwrangling everyone all the time

One problem with mike’s plan is that he’s about to be blindsided by who he clearly thought didn’t have backing now effectively becoming a symbol of the colonies overnight.
Wonder how he’ll feel about the lunarians(Granada) and the colonists being zeta(Kamille) loyalists instead of following Jerid
