[Sora]

"Sounds to me like taking extra supplies with us and using explosives to confront this thing sooner would be the ideal solution. I mean we got no real reason to return here afterwards so we may as well use all the favors we got."

[Chevaleresse]

Tsubasa nods. "I agree. Never play your quarry's game if you can avoid it."

[GodofGamingRWBY]

Mira simply shrugs at the listed offers, "Our goal is the target. Everything else is simply a distraction. Take down the first set of defenses, break out way to our target, and finish the job. That's what I would recommend."

[DragonRage]

"Use it or lose it," Joan shrugs, "Being well-supplied never hurts, and the less fighting we have to do to get to the main target the better.  I think Ea's plan will work as well as any we make before contact with the opposition could.  They do also get a vote, unfortunately."

[AzyWng]

“Then it sounds like we’re in agreement on our plan of attack. Oliver, you’ll be covering Cathartes. Annie and I will take the lead. The rest of you know where you’re headed.”

“You don’t have some grand speech prepared, do you?”


“Not sure what there is to say. Our enemies are some mix of actual Sovereign professionals and desperate people brought on to replenish their losses. They’re still cut off from the rest of the Drift, and you’ve been able to take down their forces without much resistance,” Lyra says matter-of-factly. “I know the plan boils down to a two-pronged run at the enemy, but I know you’ll be able to face down what they’ve got hiding in that station.”

There’s enough time left to conduct a little more preparation before setting off, and afterwards the team feels as best prepared to tackle the threats as possible.

All party members advance in level!

The stealth pods are able to slip past whatever sensors the station has and dock with an unoccupied hatch in the loading bay. As soon as the doors open, the four people and drone can already hear bursts of gunfire, though no alarm has been sounded.

The Sovereign security who show up say nothing, simply drawing their weapons and entering into a fighting stance.

Reinforcements will arrive in 4 turns.

"I don't suppose you'd like to stand down now?" Tsubasa asks, striding forward calmly.

Tsubasa futilely attempts diplomacy, then uses Concentrate, gaining 10 SHD and 1 Concentration.

[DragonRage]

"Tsubasa and Ea will handle the brutes for now," Joan says, "Mira, take those heavy guns down!"

Joan will use Fire Control Assistance on Mira, giving her Increase 6 and Enhanced during her next turn, then teleport her to zone 4 with One to Beam Up.

*Joan now has 31 base hit points due to levelling up, which I had not done previously.

[Sora]

Ea tightened her grip on her spear, waiting for the Sovereign Defenders to approach her.

Ea taunts Close Combat Specialist B and will attack Combat Specialist A with Askalon, dealing [1d6 + 11] Damage

[GodofGamingRWBY]

Like before, Mira nods, the single affirmation before the suddenly vanishes, reappearing behind the heavy turrets in question, her dark blade already swinging at the emplacement.

Mira uses Dark Flame, increasing her outgoing damage by 6 for the next 3 turns. She then attacks Heavy Turret A with Sequence Start, dealing (4d12+2d6+18)x1.3 damage

[AzyWng]

The two security guards don’t seem to react to Tsubasa’s offer, nor do they react to the sounds of gunfire from elsewhere in the facility - bursts of chattering that are interrupted by the occasional deep booming.

[Chevaleresse]

Tsubasa moves to Zone 2 and uses Eye of the Storm, gaining 12 Barricade. She additionally gains 1 Concentration from Meikyo Shisui.

[DragonRage]

Joan will move up to Zone 2 and for lack of anything better to do she'll use Fire Control Assistance on Ea.  Because Ea doesn't like getting buffed, the Increase and Enhance effects will each be converted into 1 mana.

[AzyWng]
