[Naoki Kurogra]

((Erm. Kenji might be able to be leader, but I'm not gonna go out and try to force him into the leader position. Mostly because I don't know if I can do leader very well...))

[Furtuka]

((I think we should determine the leader after we have more combat experience. Also I realized a possible way of working around the ethical implication of stuffing someone into the EVA is if we find a way to transfer the soul fragment in the Blue Destiny to the Eva. That would of course come at the cost of deactivating it's EXAM system.))

[BlasterKyubey210]

((Much as I want to see Rarity scream her lungs out because Sweetie Belle fooled her into jumping in the Evangelion, it won't be funny when the guys have to rebuild Ponyville because of one of her rampages... or the other places in Equestria. One more thing? Without the EXAM system, it's an overglorified GM, the Blue Destiny Unit 1. The same goes for the Unit 3 and taking out EXAM: It's no more then a Ground Gundam, albertly a very modified one))

Lester, discovering the Evangelion problem, decides to hold a drawing to decide the lucky sucker Sacrifice Voulenteer (d100 roll result: 14), and the crew starts scrambling with their Tickets, trading them in such a way that they can to avoid the dreaded 14. It ends up causing an Earth Pony to sacrifice his Soul for the Evangelion. [Result: Silver Boulder becomes the Sacrifice for the Evangelion, setting the Evangelion's Sync Rate at 36% (Before Pilot modifier), 99 Crewmen remaining]

Perhaps as incentive to work harder or they'll be next, the Mechanics are in a furor examing the units to get possible Upgrade ideas, while also doing maintance on the units.

Spoiler: Mechanic's Results (click to show/hide)

• No parts are used to repair the units
• The Huckebein mk I can be upgraded to the mk II by using 10x Personal Trooper Parts, while retaining the Black Hole Engine
• The Burai has multiple Upgrade Paths, and would need to be directed by the Head Mechanic to focus on a particular direction
• The Enact can be upgraded into either the Commander type (5x Mobile Suit Parts) or can become a GN-X (5x Mobile Suit Parts, 1x GN Drive Tau/True GN Drive). Alternately, it can be a reflection of the Legendary Ace Ali Al-Saachez (10x Mobile Suit Parts)
• The GN-X can develop further into the GN-XII (10x Mobile Suit Parts)
• Blue Destiny Unit 1 seems to be based on the GM, and can retain the EXAM system if developed further down the GM line

Lester attemps to recruit other Pilots as Trixie returns to the ship in the meantime... (3) and again got mixed reactions... maybe when he solves the town's GN Drive Tau problem, he may have better luck...

Otherwise, Marcus starts interviewing the recruits for what skills they specalize in, and gets the following

Spoiler: Interview Results (click to show/hide)

• Sweetie Belle can strike from afar, and seemly has the ability to focus her 'Inner Spirit' (whatever that means) quicker then others. Oddly enough she can also coax the system to activate again
• Apple Bloom can repair stuff quickler then others, though it seems if she blunders up something, it takes more time to fix her mistakes. Otherwise, she can hold her own between Short and Long Range combat
• Babs Seed seems to be a High-Risk Attacker, sacrificing Accuracy for pure Damage. If she misses, the Counters would become nasty in a hurry.
• Scootaloo seems to be skilled at Dodging enemy fire, and is accurate, but something about her makes you want to hit her at times...
• Twilight Sparkle seems to be a natural at the Inner Spirit thing, and can snipe quicker then usual.

Alice commands the Crew to tear the Genoace apart for it's Power Core (5) and uses it to build the Sutherland using the Power Core as the Generator (6). The Mechanic team seems to be thinking of an Ace in mind when building it, creating the Sutherland Jeremiah Gottwald Custom instead of the intended unit... too bad it consumed the group's stock of Knightmare Frame Parts.

Alice herself also takes a chance to hack inside the Computer, to get some extra Blueprints (6) and gets the following basically instantly.

Kenji gives Twilight the book on Spiral Energy theory and attemps to get info on this Spiral Energy Drive thingamajig (4). Despite her being absorbed in it, she closes the door on Kenji's face, with a sign that says "Wait 30 minutes"

[Naoki Kurogra]

((What happened to Tsukiko's secondary part of acquiring Electronic Blueprints, or is that reserved for next turn?))

Kenji heads out to see if he can find any parts at the machine shop now that they have some bits to use and so he can get out of the ship for a while.

Attempt to find potentially useful parts or schematics. at the machine shop with the leftover bits.

[Furtuka]

Head back to town for a quick visit to trade the scrap metal for weapon parts

[BlasterKyubey210]

(( Edited the post, just for the moment of the "Whomp-wah" ))

[Naoki Kurogra]

((... Wat. Damn, that girl has some haxor skills.))

[BlasterKyubey210]

((The bright side is, at least you can now build your own GN Drive Taus... though don't expect to build the 0 Gundam since you're down a True GN Drive and the chances of making one of those? Slim to none if you decide to try to build one))

[Naoki Kurogra]

((Unless we wanna make a trip to Jupiter and take multiple years, we ain't getting a True GN Drive without Scavenging one off a Gundam or something.))

[Furtuka]

((Shouldn't it be able to run on a Tau at vastly reduced output? I vaguely remember something like that being done in the side mangas.))

[TsukikoNeri]

Alice smirks as she prints out the blueprints, before returning to scavenging through the system, sure that if she could pull this much out this quickly, this thing must be a gold mine of schematics. 'I'm starting to think that whoever had this thing wasn't using it as a battleship... So much as a portable Mecha production facility.'

Continue hacking, also taking the time to look for mission reports or the like alongside the main goal of looking for blueprints/schematics.

[BlasterKyubey210]

((Yea, but these Blueprints are assuming you're not subbing one part for another. For instance, you're more likely to succeed if you use the specialzed parts (such as building a Genoace with Genoace parts), but the odds get messy if you try to switch the intended parts on Blueprints that call for a particular Part-type (Alice got lucky with the Genoace's Power Core), though you can also try to create your own units via subsituting parts: For example, I mentioned the GN Sutherland as a possiblity. One more thing: Even if you try to stick a Tau on 0 Gundam, you need to salvage quite a bit from defeated Mobile Suits, though you can speed things up if you try to capture them intact.))

[TsukikoNeri]

((Bit of a question for later... What paths does the Burai have aside from customization into Burai Kai.))

[scapheap]

A blue hair woman turned to a yellow Pegasus "Did you say there are humans that are looking for crew"

Clair Keter join the team

((Damn time zones.))

[TsukikoNeri]

((Dem Fucking Time Zones. Also, is the new guy at the end of page 15 going to be able to join while we're in Ponyville, or he gotta wait until we expand/someone gets offed?))
