Robotech - Tales of the UEEF (Main)

[Sherwood]

The sole remaining Officer Pod aims its deadly main particle cannon at Grumpy in revenge for destroying its fellow. The beam zooms out, but the Valkyrie is maneuverable enough that you are able to dodge out of the way. The electronic disruption being done by Alex might have been a factor in the miss.

The five MPAs accelerate in, and sensing that Lightning is not ready to fire back, they target her with their shoulder mounted weapons. Going defensive, the young pilot manages to evade four of the five shots, but the last one scores a direct hit, doing 60 MDC to your fighter.

[Kwops]

Juryrig mutters to himself "Hmm, what to do, what to do." He thinks for a minute, then gets a slightly evil grin on his face. "Alright, then. Lets make sure no-one comes to save you this time." He then sets about trying to jam the enemy's communications.

 

[Sherwood]

Using your Recon Pack, Juryrig begins to play electronic hell with the signals being broadcast around you. Short range transmissions will still work, but all long range signals are now being scrambled.

The first five Regult Pods decide to target Stinger with their particle beams. Thanks to your training and the maneuverability of the Valkyrie, you are able to twist your Veritech out of the way.

Another bump for WlfSamurai

 

[WlfSamurai]

“Oh I see how it is,” Ty says after dodging the attacks. “You want some? No problem.” He smiles and twists his Veritech into battloid, careful not to use any from of thrusters. In space, his velocity will carry without deceleration. It was a risk, but worth it after they had already hit Lightning. Damn them. In the few moments he stays in battloid, he opens up with a long burst from his GU-11 gun pod, trying to sweet across as many of the enemy as he can. Then, he flips back into fighter and continues at full speed, attempting to keep the same heading as the rest of the squad.

 

[Sherwood]

Stinger's Gu-11 rips out a spray of bullets into Regult 1, and it explodes in a bright flash. That is a bit strange to you, since you know that the armor of the Pod should have been able to hold up to the attack. It must have been damaged prior to the shot that took it out.

Regult 6-10 target Scorch, trying to take her out of the fight. Of the five, one manages to hit you, doing a total of 80 MDC damage to your main body.

Regult 11-14 also target Scorch, but these four are not able to track on the twisting Valkyrie.

[Psychie]

Amanda cringes as the swarm of battle pods fire on her, letting out a string of profanity as one manages to mar her paint job. "Damnit! Bastard hit me! Ok, lets try to thin out the numbers a bit. Lets see how well they fight without that second Glaug giving them orders!" Briefly cutting her thrust, she spins her Veritech around and points her nose at the incoming Zentraedi mecha. Targeting the Officer's Pod, she fires off four of her short range missiles at it. "Chew on these, you fucker!"

[Sherwood]

The four pack of short range missiles shoot out. The Glaug tries to shoot them down with one of its autocannons, but only manages to hit two of the four. The other two impact and just barely cause the Pod to explode.

The rest of the Zentraedi forces continue to close in.

"Damn it damn it! First damn mission and we're swarmed." the man armed two of his final missiles, and fired them upon the scout regult. "Damn problem with bringing heavy fire power... Theres none left for the trash!"

[Sherwood]

The poor, unarmed Scout Regult is no match for the firepower of the heavy missiles. It turns to try and dodge, but they track in on it without fail and destroy it. Immediately your long range communications clear up, giving you open comms to Raven Squad as they accelerate in to join in the fight.

As soon as their reinforcements are confirmed, Lightning toggles a "Let's get them!" to the Storm Dragons and promptly cuts acceleration, spins her Veritech and opens up with her main gun pod, even as she boosts backwards through the enemy formation in hopes the rapid speed change throws off their fire.

 

[Sherwood]

As Lightning spins and fires, the enemy units break formation and scatter, evading your burst.

In response, the five MPAs pour fire out at Lightning. With your training and the superior maneuverability of the Veritech, you are able to dodge this round of fire.

"Boss keep your head on these things got massive maneuverability, don't go dieing on a stunt!" Grumpy scorned, before openeing up channels with their incoming fire support.

"Raven Squad this is Storm dragons we have 5 male power armors and 13 regults on our asses. We've taken fire and need assistance whats your ETA?"

 

[Sherwood]

The reply comes quickly. "Ravens here. We are pushing our jets to the red line to get there ASAP. Should be in missile range in ten seconds! Hold on!"

Spoiler: OOC

at the beginning of the next round, they will be there.

 

[Kwops]

Juryrig looks over his console and figures, "Hmm. I'm thinking targeting systems for the second course. Radar can be last, it's not that important at the moment." He types in some commands, flips some switches, and slams the activation button to jam their targeting systems.

 

[Sherwood]

Regult 2 through 5 can see the electronic hash being generated by Juryrig and Grumpy, and they decide to try and eliminate one of you to clear the air. The four target Juryrig, and of the four, three miss you but the last one scores a solid hit, doing 40 MDC damage to your fighter.

“Hell yes, Lightning,” Ty says into the comms channel. “Now you’re talking.” He flips the Veritech around bursts his boosters and then flips again into battloid mode. “I got these!” he says, boosting in the opposite direction of the squad leader.

Fresh prey. Ty lines up a shot and opens up with his GU-11 gun pod. Another long burst of ammo spews from the gun’s barrels.

 

[Sherwood]

Stinger fires a burst from his gun pod and drills into the lead MPA suit, causing a good level of damage.

Regult Pods 6-10 spin about and target Stinger with their particle cannons. One of the bunch manages to wing you for a minor hit of 20 MDC.

Regult Pods 11-14 continue to target Scorch, but the young pilot manages to evade all the incoming fire.

Scorch angles around and points her nose at MPA 1, and lets fly with four of her Mini Plasma warhead missiles. "Keep it up, guys! Back-up is on its way, all we got to do is hold out a little longer!"

The four missiles track on the MPA suit, slamming into it and blasting its already damaged armor to bits and kills the operator instantly.

"We've cut the numbers but their still swarming..." Grumpy drew out his gunpod and shifted to battleoid mode to get off a burst fire on MPA 2, before switching back to fighter to keep on the move.

 

[Sherwood]

Grumpy manages to tag MPA2 with a minor hit, but every little bit counts.

Alex keeps working on the EW attacks and targets MPA2, distracting the pilot.

The intercept didn't land quite as quickly as planned. Chen had hoped the Storm Dragons could maintain their flight profile and set up the Ravens to side-swipe the enemy formation but that clearly didn't work out. Still, she could do the next best thing; continue to boost through their ranks and get out the other side, her GU-11 firing all the way.

"See if you can follow me and get them facing the wrong way when the Ravens arrive!" she calls out to the rest of the squad.

 

[Sherwood]

A well placed burst from Chen's gun pod hits the damaged MPA square in the chest, and it blows.

In retaliation, the remaining three suits of powered armor target the squad leader with their particle cannons. Fortunately, you are able to dodge out of the way and not get hit this time.
