The arrival

[srwu_mods]

Three units have taken refuge in Sakihama's hangars. One of them is a Gespenst mk II Kai, but the two others are new. FightSaber and ShotSaber - the former is red, equipped with a long chainsaw sword, the latter is blue with two beam pistols wielded akimbo. And yes, they have the large gun (graviton cannon) as well.

In addition to the units, their pilots are here as well, hanging around FightSaber's feet.


"Alright guys, let's introduce ourselves. I'm Apollonius Gavin, Loni for people who know me. And these two are my precious friends, Desta Mlakar and Ilinka Venczel."


"Hmph. You're awfully happy to be here, Loni."


"It's good to cooperate with you, Unity Group."


"Yeah, you see, we're not really going to join Unity Group or anything. We work best in a small team, we don't really follow orders from Major Ingram either. But we know a lot about 'the Lady's Good Men' or whatever these weirdos like to call themselves. So, ask away?"

Going to ask Loni's group about the mysterious enemy faction? Or are you just here to say hello and get to know them better? Or perhaps confront Desta about him shooting the retreating and immobilized enemy pilots during the mission?

Comments

[Yuuya enters the hanger in an unusual detour from his return to Alhambra. There is a fair amount of anger in his expression as he approaches the new pilots.]

"Okay I think we deserve an explanation of exactly how your little espionage op gave you the right to cut us off from command for any kind of situation updates. You blaze in taking down the terrorists that were out there and killing captured and fully disabled pilots against standard operational doctrine and then waltz into a Unity Group base to use the materials and personnel with a "Hey we aren't going to join you or report to anyone in you organization but hey if you want to ask we'll tell you a bit about an enemy organization even though we've known for some time and the intel could have been useful before now."

"I know that independence and initiative are a big deal for pilots in some situations but you put all of us at risk with your stunt. I know for a fact there are other ways to mask a unit from detection and radar so don't try that one on me without a damned good explanation.

"Oh boy, here we go again... listen, we're not a part of any military so maybe you have standard procedures and regulations, but I don't. And I said the truth, we're not going to join you, there's no need to hide that - but that doesn't mean we can't help each other. I'm not looking for a fight or anything, okay?"


"Loni couldn't get in contact with you earlier because we were still busy investigating the Lady's Good Men. Please try to understand."

[ugyuuya]

"I don't mind the lack of contact prior to this most recent operation, what I do mind is the interdiction of communications during a combat operation. If this had been against the BETA then that interruption in data and situation updates could have had us surrounded and overwhelmed. There were other options to pursue for stealth, please be mindful of that in the future."

"Now as for the cult, were we lucky that he was the head of the organization or are we going to potentially have more fun with them now?"

[srwu_mods]

"You'd wish it was that easy. That was just a leader of one cell, not the whole cult."

No further comments from Apollonius about the communications jam, it seems.

[ugyuuya]

[Annoyed about the group clamming up in regard to the communications issue Yuuya decides to drop it rather than have his head rattle. Let the commands deal with that fallout.]

"Well if he was one cell leader can we expect similar abilities from the others? Just how many cells are there and how often and where are they typically active?"

[srwu_mods]

"We already fought a lot of them, so there's about... half a dozen left? Something like that. They move around a lot so it's hard to judge. And yes, each leader will have some kind of special power."
