[Gundam Watcher 27]

The time was here.

This would be the mission to decide the fate of earth... At least in Ryuko's mind.
She would look over the controls of the Ajax, as her mind was remembering all of her training back at the boot camp. This would be her first time fighting in space, but her familiarity with fighting in the sky would help with getting used to the void of the cosmos.

Ryuko would contact Gabi seconds before they took off.

"Gabi, may I escort you to the drop site?"

Just holding on Rykon for his roll and we are set.

 

[Rykon]

Rolling for Initiative...

 

[Psychie]

The tank pilots manage to hit the brakes hard and fast enough to keep from slamming into the hull of the Mothership, while Gabi and Ryuko make it look easy as they turn and burn in their jet modes along the surface of the enemy ship. The hull is not smooth and aerodynamic, but instead it is covered in rough protrusions coming out of the hull that combines the benefit of cover with the hazard of multiple obstacles in your way keeping you from boosting at high speed as you move along the ship towards the port that you are supposed to drop the bomb down.

Hundreds of Bioroids fill the sky around you, but you are not alone. A combined force of aerospace fighters and Veritechs are doing their best to provide cover and suppressing fire against the threat of the enemy. But despite the best efforts of the screening force, multiple Bioroids are in the direct path that the squad has to take to deploy the bomb.

Both Purr and Rykon are up

Gabi "Chrome Shaman" De la Rosa
Tac Corp Special Forces Recon Patrol​

Spoiler: Payload and Combat Details

VHT-10A Ajax mode: Jet.

Missile Payload:
30/30 HEAP Mini-missiles: 1D4x10 M.D., 1 mile range, 3 foot radius, 2 M.D.C.
1/5 Plasma/Napalm (medium) Short-range missiles: 2D6x10 M.D., 3 mile range, 15 foot radius, 5 M.D.C.
1/1 Present from Earth =)

Rocketing through space in her favorite transatmospheric veritech, Gabi guided her Ajax in Jet mode along over the mothership hull as if her Ajax were an extension of her very being. "Bandits at twelve o'clock amigos! That means 'bad guys straight ahead' for our tanker-muchachos!" she teased in the way familiar groups of warriors do when entering a hot zone. There was an edge of seriousness to the teasing, of course. Recon Patrol looked at battle a little differently than infantry, tankers, or combat fighter pilots. Keeping a light-hearted tone, Gabi hoped she was letting her fellow squadmates know she was in good spirits and in full control of herself.

While targeting the Reds, she could not help but think back on all of the Robotech Master lore she had just trained in. Thousands and thousands of years of living and the Robotech Masters continue to color-code their own troops. I mean, no wonder they created and left the fighting to the Zentraedi - we're made for it and better at it!

Gabriela did her best to achieve a missile lock on the Red best-suited for an area-of-effect attack. Then she loosed 4 of her short-range plasma missiles at them. She figured the trade-off of losing 4 of her best missiles for the possibility of taking out this Bioroid gang of leadership was worth the expenditure. Speaking fighter pilot lingo and knowing everything she said was being recorded, she reported , "LT, I'm on the Red Bandits, going for a group-kill. Fox Two times four." Aided by LT Conway's Command VHT electronics, her Ajax shuddered slightly as the quartet of short-range missiles roared to life and soared out and away from her Ajax and toward the Red Bioroids.

The Recon Patrol soldier in Gabriela was happy to be here, comfortable in the jaws of life and death, and ready to show the Bioroids what it meant to take on Third Heavy Recon!

[Rykon]

Alan levels the old cannon at a group of Blues (1-5). He takes a deep breath and fires an MPAT round into their midst, hoping to blast apart whatever effort they have to interfere with the bombing run.

70 MD

 

[Psychie]

Gabi launches her four missiles, scoring a direct hit on one and a glancing blow on a second, doing enough damage to take both out.

Alan flips his Spartas into its tank mode to reveal the heavy guns and fires at Blues 1-5, catching all five in the blast radius of the shell. They are all damaged, but still functional.

Red 3 returns fire on Gabi, and will hit unless you dodge.

Blues 1-5 fire on Alan, and they will also hit unless you dodge.

Neo also drops down into her tank mode, raising up her heavy cannon at the Red that just fired at Gabi. The particle cannon hits, doing massive damage, but the armor of the enemy is just barely holding on.

Greens 1-3 race in and fire a spray of plasma bursts at Ryuko, and they will hit unless you dodge.

Blues 6-10 target Neo, and the young woman manages to dodge four of the five shots aimed at her.

Purr has a defense to declare; I presume you wish to dodge but I need to hear it before I roll for you

[Rykon]

Rolling dodge...

 

[Psychie]

Ryuko manages to dodge two of the three shots, but the third does score a hit for 30 MD.

Alan dodges out of the path of the incoming fire, along with Gabi.

D. Rex is up with Marlon

[Sherwood]

Deunan hits her radio and calls out, "Everyone, keep the heat off of Gabi and her payload! We have to make sure it makes it to the deployment site! Keep moving!"

 

[D. Rex]

About to target the blues that were harrying Neo, at Duenans call, the barrel of his cannon immediately turned direct itself at the Red attacking Gabi. Duenan was right. Had to protect it. Neo could handle some fire for just a bit... as much as it pain him. The tanks were tough after all.


Marlon fired off the particle cannon at Red 3.


Strike: 18
Damage: 110

 

[Psychie]

The blast aimed at the Red Bioroid flies out right on target, but at the last moment, it jinks to one side and is able to dodge out of the way.

Sherwood is up

[Sherwood]

Deunan lines up a shot with her Eu-11 on the remaining Red Bioroid, hoping that the extra power output of the weapon will be enough to finish it off.

Critical Strike on a natural 18-20

 

[Psychie]

This time, when the bolt files up at the Red Bioroid, it is too slow to avoid the hit, and the up-powered blast punches into the heart of the mecha, making it blow up.

Blues 11- 15 all strafe Deunan, and they will all hit unless you dodge or parry.

[Sherwood]

Deunan will try a dodge to get out of the way of the incoming fire.

 

[Psychie]

With an acrobatic leap, Deunan is able to dodge out of the way, letting the five Bioroids chew up parts of the hull of their own ship.

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Ryuko would retaliate and the Ajax would take aim at the middle Green bioroid before firing.

 

[Psychie]

The pulse laser fires out at high speed, but the Green manages to dodge out of the way.

"Back on my Feet (Live)" by Boom Boom Satellites

Seeing the explosions of the erupting Red Bioroids, Gabi blew a kiss to their disintegrating remains in space. "Vaya con Dios ("Go with God")!" She gave voice to the Mexican blessing and blew them a kiss. "Maybe you can do some good in the next world, because you sure as hell are done with this one, you know?"

She shifted her aim on the next in command - the Greens. Making the best use of Lt. Conway's Command Veritech electronics, Gabriela laid in to the first Green (Green 1) that came within range of her twin ion pulse cannons. With patience, she waited for a gun lock as provided to her by her Ajax.

"Going after nearest Green. There we go. Guns, guns, guns! Dine on this, diablo verde ("Green devil!")!"

[Rykon]

Alan continues his assault on the Blue Bioroid group he'd been tracking. As soon as the round loads into the cannon's chamber, he fires off another MPAT round.

Rolling the attack... And that's a miss.

 

[Psychie]

The five damaged Blue Bioroids are intent on hammering Alan, even though he missed his last shot. For out of the five will hit unless you dodge or parry.

Neo raises up her own cannon and fires a shot at the damaged Green, and scores a hard hit on it, causing it to blow up in a spectacular flash.

Greens 2 and 3 strafe a line of plasma at Gabi, and will hit unless you dodge. I know that I roll your dice for you, but I need you to make it official and say you are dodging.

Blues 6-10 target Deunan, and they will all hit unless you parry or dodge out of the way.
