Robotech - Tales of the RDF

Sergeant Eadric Braidwood, Field Scientist

Dannigan said:
"We are outnumbered and possibly outgunned with no foreseeable back-up. As far as I am concerned, the option to capture her is reasonably out of our hands. It is more practical to slay her. This is my interpretation of Major Lang's orders for us." She taps her screen and thinks a moment. "Therefore, I want all fire directed on Serena. Once she is destroyed, I want each of you on either my target or Zaile's unless I specify otherwise. We have used a similar strategy in the past to great effect, but some of our newer members will learn it now."

"Yes, ma'am." Eadric's voice is quiet but firm. While he prefers capturing to killing, his sergeant is absolutely right - and more to the point, she's his sergeant, and that's all that needs to be said.

With the orders given, the Red Pandas move out at speed towards the chamber that houses the fold engine. With the two RDF Officer Pods in the lead, the squad breaks out into the open hallway. Standing guard outside the door to the chamber are a pair of Male Powered Armor units, one on either side of the door. The immediately see you and raise their weapons to engage. This won't be as quick and silent as the last encounter.

Eadric quickly reacts, not saying anything yet but bringing his weapons to bear on the enemy.

Moving into position and turning his targeting system onto the first guard Eric's Spartan pulls up his cannons, ready for action.

Corporal Zaile Alencar


Zaile snarls at the Male Powered Armor in front of her. So close to engaging the leader of this insurrection, this futile rebellion against the worthy Micronian warriors who'd welcomed her race to their world. If a couple of Zentraedi chose to bar her from putting down a threat to peace on Earth, she'd just put them down too.


The Corporal opens up with both forearm cannons on the armor on the left.

Zaile raises up her arm blasters and lets fly against the first Male Powered Armor. It dives to the side in an attempt to dodge. He fails to move fast enough, and gets slammed by both beams.


@Dannigan is up next with Taniya

Following her own orders, Taniya looses The Beast's top-mounted particle beam cannons upon the damaged Male Power Armor.

The pilot of the damaged armor didn't have time to get his balance before Taniya lights him up with her twin blasters. It is critically damaged, and starts to stumble back towards the entrance to the fold space room. As it backpedals, it fires a blast from its particle cannon at Zaile, trying to damage her pod.

Corporal Zaile Alencar


The Zentreadi pilot widens her eyes as she spots the incoming trajectory at the same time her sensor panel lights up, indicating a target lock on her mecha. Given the sheer maneuverability of the new officer's pod she was assigned, it gave Zaile the opportunity to try something she could never have managed in her beloved Tomahawk.


Hitting the thrusters on the giant mech, Zaile 'jumped' the blast, just barely skirting the ceiling of the corridor.

You are just barely able to leap dodge aside as the particle blast scorched the air as it flies past. Instead of hitting you, it detonates against the wall, making a black mark in the metal.

Taking advantage of the rather close proximity of the two MPA, Connor lines up a shot of flak.

The two suits of powered armor try a dodge, but fall miserably. The first suit is perforated by the flak, and the pilot falls to one side. The second gets caught in the blast, and takes a bit of damage. It's armor is still holding, even though it's damaged.

Eric Bell


Everything seemed to be happening so quickly, that Eric's hands worked the controls as everything started coming back to him as being natural. It was almost a decade ago when he lost his original team and since that time, he put himself into the maintenance bay as a way of dealing (avoiding) the loss. The memory of his team flashed before him before quickly shaking it and readying his duel M-1255 120mm Laser Cannons at the damaged mech before pulling the trigger.

Eric manages to tag the damaged suit of armor hard, but the pilot is just able to get a return shot off at you as he stumbles back.


Doug lifts up the arm with the particle cannon on it and uses it to blast a huge hole through the damaged powered armor and out the other side.


There are now no more targets out in the hall with you, but you can hear the heavy footsteps of more mecha coming out to intercept you before you have a chance to stop the High Lord from over loading the fold engine. You have only moments to respond before whatever in there comes out.


I need a dodge roll from @Dano and @Kaerri is up with Eadric.

Watching as his lasers pounded the mech, Eric was stunned to see return fire as he attempted to use his thrusters and avoid the oncoming fire.

Sergeant Eadric Braidwood, Field Scientist


Eadric's first thought is to charge forward, using his Spartan like a football lineman to plow through the enemy mech and give his squad a hole to enter through. However, he remembers his sergeant's orders and goes for plan B, instead. Leaving enough room for Taniya and Zaile to enter first, if that's Taniya's plan still, he moves where he can see through the doorway and fire at anything coming through it. If that lets him see one of the incoming mecha, and he has a shot that won't endanger the fold, he takes his shot now rather than later.

Just in case he gets that shot, here's a roll for it.

Eric tries to maneuver out of the way of the counterattack of the stricken powered armor, but he is just barely too slow and you get hit for a total of 30 MDC on your main body.


As Eadric races forward, you find yourself almost nose to nose with three FPA suits as they come racing out towards you. From your position at the door, you can also see that there are four full sized Zentraedi women in lightweight body armor, one can clearly be identified as Serena at one of the control panels. Your own weapon fire was triggered before you had a good look in the room, so you were only able to hit one of the FPA suits.


Eadric positioned his mecha to one side of the door, giving a clear line of fire on FPA 2 and 3; number one is literally in his face and no one has a clear shot at her. In order for you to be able to target the High Lord, you either have to go over the mecha at the door (possible by the pods that Zaile and Taniya are piloting) or you have to shoot between the mecha at the door. That will be a called shot at a -4 to hit Serena.

(Whew...)


Staff Sergeant Taniya


"Move in, Red Pandas!"


Taniya lifts off into the air moving to support Braidwood, the possibility of capturing Commander Serena still in her mind - until Taniya sees the High Lord at the controls of the space fold machine. Taniya knows if she hesitates, Serena likely won't and that could end them all...


...so Taniya doesn't hesitate.


"Commander Serena," Taniya growls. "Join your warriors in oblivion." Twin beams of light flare from each of her arm-mounted particle beam cannons; they are aimed at Commander Serena's head.


"Red Pandas, kill her before she kills us!"

Calling Head Shot. Dice please don't gank me now...


[dice]21874[/dice]


[dice]21875[/dice]


Damage: 70+10 = 80 M.D.C. (if it hits).

Taniya jets up into the air and is now above the cluster of mecha in the doorway. With a clear line of fire on Serena, you aim and fire a twin blast of charges particles. She is focused on her work at the terminal, so she does not try to defend herself. The blasts shot out, but you are not able to make the head shot you were trying for. The good news is that you did manage to hit her square in the torso. The lightweight armor only has 70 MDC, so a good chunk of damage manages to get through the smoking hole in her armor. Considering that Serena is a High Lord, it is quite possible for her to have upwards of 80 to 100 MDC on her own, but you are damn sure she has felt that hit.


Serena cries out in pain and staggers against the console she is working at, but her will is strong enough that the Zentraedi woman is not stopping her work to make the fold engines overload.


One of the other officers in the room calls out in Zentraedi, "Protect the High Lord at all cost! Close in around her!" They will move soon, but Zaile acts before the can make a shield with their own bodies.

You have to roll a natural 12 or better on the dice to make a called shot and hit the selected target. Since you rolled only a 8 but still hit, the shot scored on the main body.

Corporal Zaile Alencar


Grinding her teeth, Zaile thumbs the triggers on her HPC-90 Heavy Particle Beam Cannons, discharging both barrels. Like her commanding officer, the Zentraedi mecha pilot doesn't pull punches. She goes for the throat. Or in this case, the same smoking holes Taniya's guns made.


[dice]21878[/dice]
 
Bad luck strikes as Zaile misses her shot. However, she does hit the control panel that Serena is working at, blasting it to pieces. It is likely that she can move to a different control station and continue her a work, but Zaile has bought some time at the very least.


The damaged FPA leaps back and raises up her forearm blasters, intending on laying into Eadric. The shot will hit unless you dodge.


Looking at the initiative order, I messed up and had Taniya act before Zaile. That was my mistake. Sorry about that. Fortunately it didn't make a big difference, and it won't happen again.


Right now, @Beowulf is up.

It's a good thing this ship is designed for full-size Zentraedi, or there wouldn't be room to move, much less dodge. Eadric attempts to twist aside as his initial target returns fire.

The rolling twist you try doesn't get you out of the way of the attack, but you are able to evade the worst of the damage and you take only 20 MDC damage to your main body.
