Turn 16: New Recruits
The Zedas looks at the blockade surrouding Los Pegas, the pilot feeling slightly homesick and flown there. Showing no interest in the goals of the Order, he takes a nice look at the blockade so far, seeing the CBS-74 Ptolemaios 2 Kai giving out orders. He never exactly like the crew of the ship, them being fellow X-Rounders notwithstanding, and the Order being a bunch of nutcases. He starts to observe their patterns, takes notes and sets off to his next stop, Tokyoats, to pick up some cargo.
The Weiss starts flying around, spotting the fifth Angel at the Crystal Kingdom. Using the terrain to her advatage, she starts to hide from it. While it is not moving towards anything important, she spots a pink machine flying around doing the same thing: Observing it from a distance. For now, the Angel seems contempt in going to Canterlot, knowing nothing can hurt it, for now. It seems Candance's personal Royal Guard has yet to act on it, but without an Evangelion to break though it's field or somethign strong enough to blast it, they're not taking chances.
The Lancelot has taken damaged towards the arm, after narrowing getting out of the way of it's Jet Magnum. It seems the drones are getting more aggressive, even as it regenerated the Jet Magnum hit. It seems close to freedom at the moment, but one hit from a Buster Rifle and he's going down for the count.
The Mechanics begin installing the Multitube Missile Launcer, and loader parts to make it more of an assault ship, while the coaters set to begin as soon as the Launcers are installed.
Twilight and the others take a look at the powered Zeta, while some of the crew Ponies have a go at getting the NT-D thing to go off (d100 rolls: 50, 45, 40, 60, 61) and still getting nothing. Twilight enters the powered Zeta Gundam and has a go at trying to get it to go off (d100 roll: 4, follow up roll: 53) and doesn't seem to have it go off right... it seesm Twilight got close but she could either be an Innovade, an X-Rounder or a Psychodriver instead...
Meanwhile, Fluttershy has a go at the Zeta after Twilight's attempt (d100 roll, 43) and got nothing... (d100 roll: 9) and neither did Pinkie Pie. Rainbow Dash tried to get into Zeta after that (d100 roll: 12) and it didn't respond. Applejack takes time to have a go, thinking this one's a charm (d100 roll: 2, follow up roll: 3) and NT-D finally went off, after so many Ponies having a go and getting nothing... it seems Applejack can make it go off but, it doesn't help at the moment. Rarity finally has a go in the Zeta and sees if NT-D goes off (d100 roll: 93) and gets nothing as well.
Clair takes the time to get some odd-jobs for the citizens of Manehattan despite the inflation (4).
- "I'm Summer Darling, and my GN-XII and I are looking to go to Los Pegas to pick up something for my family, can you take me there?
- "I'm Dapper Masquerade, and this Genoace has blown a few parts fighting a Blade Liger, can I get 4 Genoace Parts? I'll give you some bits."
- "I'm Starlight Darling, and I'm looking to go to Los Pegas to haul away a wreaked AM Gunner, can you take me there? I'll bring Gundam Leopard."
Lester sends Rarity into town about getting the Braves up, and begins to wait a bit, it could take awhile before Rarity gets something out of this.
In the meantime, the Mechanics begin to replace the blown Movable Frame (5) and begin to repair the Airmaster.
1 Movable Frame consumed, 18 Mobile Suit parts consumed in repairing the Airmaster
He asks Applejack to add some incentive to their job and she complies, bringing a cart of Apples to the mechanics once Rarity finds someone willing to make the units without getting the drives stolen.
Alice begins her ambitious project of building as many GN Drives as possible, with assistance from the mechanics not tied to repairing the Airmaster (5+1, Mechanics roll 4), creating 6 Tau GN Drives.
Back at Ponyville, Kenji and Marcus both change training focus (Kenji rolls 4, Marcus rolls 5) and manages to advance somewhere in their training.
Apple Bloom's Ranged improved by 1 step, Sweetie Bell's Ranged improved by 1 step, Scootaloo's Melee increase by 1 step, Star Charmer's Melee increased by 1 step
The bad news is for Marcus, there were no spare mechanics avalible for the Black Hole Cannon...
Kasai joins the group, as well as Vinyl Scratch with their machines.
