Robotech - Southern Cross Adventure

[Sherwood]

Deunan replies, "I'm going to use at least one Plasma round, along with Sabot rounds. With the five of us, we should be able to take it out fast."

The first Reentry Pod is lifting up into the air. It will be clear of the hangar bay in moments.

Holding on D. Rex for a roll from you.

 

[Sherwood]

Deunan calls out, "Once it gets up and into our line of fire, hit that bastard with your main guns! Fire at will!"

 

[D. Rex]

I don't see how I missed the call for initiative!

 

[Psychie]

D. Rex has the high initiative this time. This is a surprise round, everyone gets one free shot before moving into the regular combat round (assuming that Sherwood's plan is not successful).

Neo lines up a shot with her main gun just as the Reentry Pod clears the top of the hangar and lets fly with a Plasma round. It hits the ship, and is burning into the thin armor of the hull, but the ship is far from dead.

[Sherwood]

Deunan can feel the sweat running down her skin as the stress of the moment is hitting her. But, she doesn't let that stop her from pulling the trigger on a Plasma round, hoping to burn out the ship.

Marlon took his time lining up his shot. He sure hoped this worked. They wouldnt have much time to fix it if it didnt. With one APFSDS loaded, he pulled the trigger.

With WlfSamurai having such an erratic posting schedule, I'll have Alissa go ahead and fire a APFSDS round at the dropship. Lets make the rolls and see if you need to go into your standard combat round.

[Psychie]

With the final round fired into the damaged hull, the Sabot round manages to find something critical inside the ship. A bright flash lights up the sky as it explodes, raining down flaming rubble onto the various mecha on the deck below you. Multiple secondary explosions rip through the hangar bay as stored ordnance begins to cook off and many of the assembled mecha are crushed. Looking down into the bay, it is a vision of hell. If anything is still alive down there, it has some incredible luck to have dodged all the explosions and crushing weight of the Reentry Pod.

If you leap down into the fire, it will require you to do so in Battloid mode or you'll fry in your open cockpits. Even so, you'll probably take some damage from the autocannon ammo and missiles cooking off and exploding down there. What do you do?

 

[Sherwood]

Without hesitation, Deunan shifts her Spartas into Battloid mode. "Here is our chance! Everyone, lets go! Down the hole and head towards the aft section of the ship! Follow me!" With a thruster assisted leap, she powers out into the open bay. Lets hope that this is not a huge mistake!

"Roger boss." Alan says into the radio, having to raise his voice over the incredibly satisfying calamity now taking place before them. He shifted his Spartas into battloid mode and hopped into the fray, careful to guard the core of the mecha with both shields.

[Psychie]

Jumping blindly into the fire pit below, Deunan is nearly sent sprawling as you come down on some hidden piece of rubble covered in the flames and smoke. You are just barely able to recover in time to be on the move before the flames have a chance to do more than minor damage to your legs. The rest of the team lands on a clear piece of deck plate, allowing you to set off at a run and get out of the blast furnace.

Once the five of you are clear of the flames, you can see that the destruction raging in the heart of the hangar bay is being contained by automated fire suppression systems, but the armor plating of the floor is giving way in many locations, dropping burning wreckage and live ordnance down into the deck just below. Over the roar of the flames and explosions, you can hear the scream of alarm sirens going off.

From her mecha, Neo calls out, "Sarge! I have a basic map of the interior of a Zentraedi Destroyer punched up on my computer! If you want to hit the engine room, it takes up three decks at the aft end of the ship, and the Foldspace Engine is in the center of the ship, one deck down. Either location has a shit-ton of power in them, making for a very volatile location to hit that might be enough to destroy this tub. Where do you want to go?"

 

[Sherwood]

Deunan swears as she struggles to keep her Spartas up on its feet on the uneven deck. Stabilizing herself, she sets off at a run towards the aft end of the ship. "We go to the Engine Room, and see how much damage we can cause before having to bug out. Move as fast as we can! If we get bogged down, we may be overwhelmed by sheer numbers, even with all the mecha we just trashed."

 

[Psychie]

Running at top speed, the five of you race through the hallway to the aft end of the ship. The alarms are blaring as the fire rages behind you. With any luck, it will not be associated with a micronian incursion into the ship!

As you charge forward, from one of the side rooms you see four Zentraedi carrying fire suppression equipment and breathing masks come running out. They are armed only with sidearms and fire extinguishing foam, and they are wearing only the lightweight jumpsuits that a off duty crewman might wear that provide no armor protection.

They are obviously not expecting to see any hostile forces in the ship, and so you manage to catch them by surprise! The four immediately drop the foam sprayers and grab for their pistols. Everyone gets one action from surprise before we roll initiative.

From the heat of the flames, Deunan's Eu-11 has overheated temporarily, and it needs a moment more to cool down.
