Blaze Dragon posted:That Michel moment makes no sense whatsoever here. He shot the Vajra and then... went down... for some reason. Okay. It's more of a troll moment for people who saw the original series, where he got killed during a Vajra attack. Really, Frontier becomes much more fun to watch when you realize that Kawamori is trolling the poo poo out of the audience half the time.

I'm pretty sure that was due to the Hound Vajra beating him up before he got to take the shot. As he himself said, he only needed his sensors and his eyes working to snipe the thing - the rest of his Valk wasn't doing too good after that hit.

I guess, but having to play along the gameplay really does not help. Then again, I believe he survived in the movies as well (only watched the series), so I guess it's fine.

You know, I gotta say, I think Tobikage is worse in UX than Impact. Like, as long as you know what maps he shows up in and on which turn, he's easy to mitigate in Impact just by deploying any of the ninja team, since the combination is automatic rather than having that HP requirement. Sure, he might steal a couple regular enemies, but as long as you know which boss(es) are at risk, it's not tough to work around him, just mildly inconvenient. Here, it seems like he can ruin your entire setup.

But the real issue is a hit will usually either be enough to summon, but not merge WITH Tobikage... or kill outright.

Ouch. Tobikage. I don't suppose you can friendly-fire with a punch or something to trigger a full merge?

Managing Tobikage is a lot easier in Impact because the stages where he automatically shows up in also have one or more Tobikage units as forced deployments (plus, as was said before, they forcefully combine after a turn or two). Tobikage doesn't hang out for long and you know he's coming in advance, so it's not that bad. UX Tobikage seems much harsher in comparison. I'll admit Ranka Slayer made me chuckle.

We've the Quarter, Kouichi and Canaria with MAPWs here, so, in a pinch, you COULD potentially get one of the ninja bots weak enough for Tobikage to fuse. That's easier said than done, of course, and if any units aren't positioned just right, it'll take a turn or two to set it up.

There are a couple Tobikage maps, actually, that don't automatically deploy the ninja team. In particular, the first fight against Benmel from Daitarn 3, where in order to unlock the G3 Gundam and Char's Zaku, you need to make the map last until turn 10 (it automatically ends when Benmel drops), and then have Chris and Bernie take out the G3 and Char's Zaku, respectively, before dealing with Benmel. There is no actual plot from Tobikage in that stage, either, the ninjabot only appears because Benmel collects rare robots so the scene was just for him to geek out over how cool Tobikage looks, so unless you've got a guide pointing it out, you won't realize until it's too late and you have to start over. It's kind of a dick move, but it's the only way to get Tobikage to combine with someone other than Joe most of the time (which is good because Mike's fusion is better).

That image of Ranka running away from Tobikage is great. For that matter, what happens if Tobikage itself is somehow shot down, like through friendly firing it or maybe a Festum or whatever getting it? I figure it just full heals and keeps going, but haven't tried it myself to be sure. Onmi posted:the problem is the Ninja's aren't exactly the most... durable units. so them taking hits period is scary. But the real issue is a hit will usually either be enough to summon, but not merge WITH Tobikage... or kill outright. One advantage I had in doing a no upgrade game. Usually caused the bots to land in the magic area where Tobikage would merge when they were hit. Keyword being usually, a couple times I had to scramble to get another bot hit to force a merge.

 And we’re back, having saved Ranka from being kidnapped by the Vajra and/or chopped into sashimi by Tobikage. Alto and Setsuna are deploying as solo event units today (oh, boy, someone hold me!). Allelujah’s a squad event deploy, so here’s how we’re going: Fei-Yen/Lockon Shinn/Klan Sun Quan/Shangxiang Dancouga/Canaria Mazinkaiser/Soubi Michel/Kenji Ozma/Luca Mamoru/Sakura Cao Cao/Moritsugu Liu Bei/Rennie Yamashita/Luna Joe/Saya Shou/Marvel Aesap/Tsubasa Kurou/Deceive Heroman (I gave him a bunch of All Attacks and Continuous Action) Kouichi/Eida Kazuki/Allelujah Arnie/Guan Yu Tactician: Zhuge Liang Let’s get going before the prospect of a Frontier x Trailblazer mission bores me into a coma.  Sumeragi’s put in a call to Billy in hopes he could shed light on whether music really could beckon the Vajra, but he can’t tell her much on that front. Vajra samples have yet to be presented to him or his research team to study. Billy does point out that song, being produced by simple voice, wouldn’t carry through the vacuum of space. But, on the other hand, Richard and Scarlet argue that the Vajra clearly reacted to Fei-Yen, Sheryl and Ranka’s songs – both in the last battle and the one by the PLANTs.  A woman speaks up right then, saying their current research subject may be a similar case to ours. Who is she? When Soushi asks, Mina confirms that they’ve confirmed what caused it: and as we hypothesized, the fragments of the downed Europa are to blame. Or, better put, this metal that had latched on to the fragments is the cause – once those fell to Earth, the metal split off from the fragments and started doing stuff on its own. Wait, “metal” was doing stuff? It could well be the alien lifeform Hino told Allelujah about and Mina’s team decided to christen it Extraterrestrial Living-metal Shape-shifter – ELS, for short. From what they’ve uncovered, the ELS are prone to hijacking any piece of machinery they come in touch with; whereas, if they come in touch with a human, they’ll straight-up fuse with him. That explains that soldier Soma and Allelujah saw turning metallic. Finally, there’s one other thing: they’ve established that the ELS are drawn to humans emitting Quantum Brainwaves, which is why all that stuff back at Moldova went after Soma and Allelujah. What all this amounts to is that we’ve a new problem in our hands, and Richard’s very annoyed. But Billy sees what Mina’s getting at: just as the ELS are drawn to Quantum Brainwaves, perhaps the girls’ songs have some sort of property that draws the Vajra? Hmm…  Cut to Howard’s office, Mishima knows what’s up. The results of their analyses have come in and, apparently, Sheryl’s voice gives off faint Fold Waves. These waves are primarily used as a medium for interstellar communication; ergo, Sheryl’s voice reaches out to the Vajra back in their universe, and calls them over via the same process used in Fold Transmissions. Mishima posits the mastermind behind it all to be Grace O’Connor, Sheryl’s manager – or, rather, Col. Grace O’Connor, agent of the Galaxy Fleet. Sounds to Howard that they’ve amassed enough evidence and he wants them both arrested… but Mishima speaks against it. Consider: those two have the means to control the Vajra, creatures wholly inimical to mankind. If they play their cards right and get their hands on that, think of what the Frontier Fleet could accomplish! Howard’s not looking too keen on that plan, but Mishima isn’t done yet. If you remember, the Galaxy’s Fleet now finds itself in quite a difficult spot… which, on the flip side, makes this a prime opportunity for the Frontier, no? It starts to dawn on Howard that his right-hand-man is evil, but Mishima is too busy snickering to notice.   : What a mess… half the equipment set up for the show’s totally unusable… : … Sheryl, I need a word.: What’s gotten you so serious…?: It’s about you and the Vajra.: It’s looking to me that they’re being drawn by your singing. This wasn’t a one-time thing either, so I really don’t think it’s all just a freak coincidence. : …: So I’d like you to tell me the truth! Are you, or are you not, a spy for the Galaxy Fleet?: …: But I… I also want you to know that, regardless of your answer, it won’t change what I said before.: You’re not alone anymore. Isn’t that right, Sheryl?: …: Alto, I— : That was quite the touching speech, Sir UX pilot.: You’re…!: Also, you people can stop hiding. Come closer, if you would. : Psh, she caught on to us. : Captain… plus Maj. Richard and his team… What’re you doing here? : Well, we need to chat with the Galaxy’s cyborg lady there. : Cyborg…?: Hmhm, what a mean thing to say. Are you suggesting those who’ve received mechanical Implants aren’t human anymore?: A rather odd opinion, if you ask me, especially considering your team has plenty of people like me. : …: Regardless, what will you be doing now? Are you going to arrest me and Sheryl? : No, Col. Grace. We’re actually here to inform you that the Frontier Fleet’s cleared you two of all suspicions of espionage.: What…?: Hmhmhm, I see… I suppose there’d be no point in accusing us of anything if the Galaxy Fleet’s wiped out, yes?: What’d you mean by that…?: You should hear this as well, Sheryl. A message arrived four hours ago saying that our home, the Galaxy Fleet, was under attack by a horde of Vajra.: The Galaxy’s…!: Then your Fleet’s in this world too…?!: The Galaxy sent an SOS to Earth’s Federation Government, but, as of right now, both them and the Frontier government are ignoring the call for help.: Is that true?! : From what we’ve seen, neither government is willing to save them and risk beckoning even more Vajra to the Earth Sphere. : In other words, both are looking out for themselves. : drat…!: Why didn’t you tell me about this sooner?!: Because there’s nothing we can do! The Galaxy Fleet’s by the Jupiter Sphere!: They’re too far away and hanging by a thread. Besides, do you honestly think the people here would help those they suspect of spying on them?!: …: How much does the UX charge for a mission?: What…?: Tell me already! Everyone knows you as the heroes who saved Earth, but you’re still a mercenary crew, right?! : True. Scumbags who take lives for a paycheck – that’s us. : Maj. Richard…: That being said, even scumbags like us have beliefs. We’ve our own burdens to shoulder.: It’s in light of that burden that we put a price tag on life. And life isn’t cheap. : Who do you think I am, hm? Here, take this!*Throw!* : This card is…! SRW UX - Rebellion Against Fate: That account has all the money I’ve earned during my career as a singer…: And if that’s still not enough, then I can sign off all my future royalties to you, too.: Sheryl, you…: Well, isn’t that something? The Galactic Fairy’s looking to moonlight as a Goddess of Battle. : Alright, alright… you’ve got yourself a deal!: Alto… this is who I am. My love for song, my wish to help the people from my home, they’re all real.: I understand, Sheryl.: Wait here, and I promise we’ll save your home and everyone who lives there!: No time to waste, then. We’re moving out to rescue the Galaxy Fleet’s refugee ships – effective immediately. : I trust we can count on the SMS to assist, Maj. Ozma? : Absolutely.: The mission’s codename will be… “Galactic Fairy”! Mission 24 – A wakening   : Ship damage has just exceeded 70%! We can’t take more of this…! : Gch, is this the end for us…? We’re to rot away in an alien universe, failing all those who we swore to protect…?*Alarm!* : We’re detecting a De-Fold signature right nearby! : It’s… the Macross Quarter, from the Frontier Fleet!: The Frontier?! SRW UX - Rebellion Against Fate  : No abnormalities detected throughout the Quarter!: The Elshank and Ptolemaios have also De-Folded without any issues! : We’re pinging the Galaxy’s refugee fleet dead ahead!: The ships have suffered heavy damage, but it seems their propulsion is still operational! : Lam, get in touch and tell that we’re here to cover them! : Yes, sir!: Ready all gun batteries! Clear a path for them to escape! : W-We’re saved! The people of the Galaxy Fleet are forever indebted to the Frontier! : All refugee ships have left the sector. They appear to be getting ready to Fold away!: All that’s left, then, is trashing the Vajra flocking around here! : Deploy all mobile squadrons! : Try to not do anything that’ll get you shot down again, Michel. : That goes without saying! Just wait and I’ll show you what I can do with my new Tornado Pack!  : (Sheryl… I will keep my promise to you!)*Whoooommm.  : …! : (This sensation is…!): (Do we have more than just the Vajra approaching…?): Vajra… Once again we must contend with their transgressions.  : My friends, there is our final line of defense. Do not allow the Vajra anywhere close to it! Time for round two: kill all Vajra, without losing any ship, Alto, Setsuna or Allelujah, and without letting them reach the eastern corner of the map. If they do, they’ll blast the Galaxy refugee ships and that’ll be game over. Same strategy as the previous mission applies, only you also have the big Vajra ships hanging back – they’ll prioritize attacking over moving (watch out for their directional MAPWs), though, so take out the little guys first and then move in to deal with the rest. Make sure you save resources, though, because that’s hardly the end of it.  And, like he said, Michel now has a Tornado Pack on his Valkyrie which boosts everything important, while also giving him the Beam Cannons attack. SRW UX - Future-Bound Fighting Spirit    SRW UX - Life Goes On     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfLFjyKB07k Forgot to show off the DK for this attack, so here it is!  This might’ve been a problem, if not for the fact that Sakura had debuffed this thing’s accuracy into oblivion.    Not that it helps Shizuna, but whatever. SRW UX - Tales of Mirisha ~ The Brave Legend      SRW UX - Roulette         And that’s all of the things.  : No more enemies on radar! All Vajra have been brought down!: I’ve kept my promise, Sheryl…*Whooomm.* : !: Keep your eyes open! Something’s coming!: Huh…?!  : Wh-What are those things?! : They’re… masses of metal?*Whooomm.* : ! They’re coming our way! Allelujah, intercept!    : Just what are they doing…?! : Setsuna, you think these are what you sensed?!: I don’t know, but I think they’re… : …*Whooomm.* : (Hrk… what am I feeling..?! Is it coming from them?! : We’ve a data match! Those hostile chunks of metal are made of the same substance found latched to the Europa fragments! : Meaning these are the ELS?! : B-But what’re they doing here?! : Save your whining for later! The refugee ships are still nearby and we can’t let the ELS get to them!: All units, intercept and destroy all targets! : R-Roger!in  You guys up for another gimmick enemy faction? That’s good, because the Festum aren’t the only ones: the ELS are rather frail and don’t hit too hard, but there’s a ton of them and their best trick is Fuse. It comes in L1 and L2 flavors, with these guys only having the former, and every time any of their attacks connects, you lose 10/20% of your max EN. If EN reaches 0, the ELS will fuse with the target – i.e., it’ll be shot down. On the good side, they don’t get a full recharge like the Festum do; on the bad side, lost EN isn’t as easy to offset as lost morale. As always: you’ll want either your dodgy guys or those with reliable barriers to take point. Pay special attention to your EN hogs, as chugging fuel will work against you if that unit’s tank specced. SRW UX - Envoy from Jupiter : Hrgh… The ELS are responding to my Quantum Brainwaves?!: Is that just part of their nature? Or maybe…!    SRW UX - My Fate : I hear it, Aesap… I hear the voice of life! The ELS are saying something!: A voice? Do you mean the ELS are giving out some sort of signal?!     SRW UX - Tales of Mirisha ~ The Brave Legend : Hrm… Something’s ripping through my mind…: B-But this pain is nothing… We swore a vow to protect the powerless! You will not take even another step towards the refugee fleet! I won’t allow it!    SRW UX - Lion: I don’t give a drat what I need to fight next! I made a promise to her to keep those people safe and I intend to do just that!     SRW UX - A Bird’s Song : The things are bumrushing us…! : Keep your heads on a swivel! They’ll fuse with the Dancouga if we allow them to make contact! : They have to learn that ladies don’t appreciate that kind of domineering approach! : And if you won’t stop, then we’ll have to get a bit rough and make you stop!  SRW UX - Linebarrel : Jeez… you don’t even wait a second before attacking, do you?!: Those bits that clung to the Europa already made a huge mess back on Earth – no way I’m letting your bunch make it there too!    SRW UX - Deus Machina  : I feel not the presence of magical energies, so these do not appear to be evil spirits or familiars… That being said, what is this odd sensation…?! : Tch, whatever! Lemme at these metalheads and I’ll dunk them straight into a blast furnace!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSzYV1auW3A Aaay, I finally got the ELS to connect with their attack! And when you kill enough stuff, the plot kicks in.  : Tsk, they just keep on coming!*Whoooommm.*  : ?!: H-Hey, Shou! I think those ELS— : Not now, Cham! Shush!: Bah, would it kill you to just listen for a second?!: Everyone get back! I’ll take them all out with the Raiser Sword!*Setsuna moves right towards the new bunch.*  : Trans-AM! Rai—: … : Grgh!: Th-The ELS is fusing with the 00! : They’re being drawn by Setsuna’s strong Quantum Brainwaves!: Urk! Gch… Gwaaaaaaaargh!: Setsuna!: Get off him! : A-Alto?! : Get away, Alto! They’re coming for me, and you’ll be caught right in the middle…!: Are you kidding me?! I’m not about to sit back and watch a teammate get destroyed right under my nose!: Alto…! Location: Celestial Being Vessel – Command Center  : The UX and the ELS are fighting by the Jupiter Sphere…?! : Yes, ma’am. However, the ELS are pushing them back – things are looking poorly. : Well, they’re kinda like heroes of the Federation now, so how about we go and bail them out?: Do you have any idea how far the Jupiter Sphere is from us, you dunce?*Alarm!* : Hm?! What’s going on?! : An unidentified unit just launched from one of the ship’s sealed-off sections!: Unidentified?! Bring it up on screen!*Beep.* : That mech is…!: Come in, pilot of the unknown unit! State your name and affiliation! If you fail to comply we—: Nah, lemme handle it! The resident Super Ace’ll get out there and tie that sucker—*Power up! And flash!* : I-It disappeared?!: What was that light…?!: The unknown unit’s signal has vanished from our radars!: (That light was just like that when a Fold is executed… Wait, did it…?!): Run a check across all sealed-off sections of the ship and tally the supplies stored in there!: Specifically, give me the status on blocks F35 to 40!

Any more than and they’ll be in serious danger!: Troops, can anyone break through the ELS lines and reach them?! : And how d’ya expect us to “break through” that swarm…?!: U-Uwaaaah!: Alto…! : I-It’s...! SRW UX - Envoy from Jupiter : ...: A Gundam...! : Tieria Erde, Raphael Gundam, destroying the targets!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJHUMFp5Wgo  : Ms. Noriega, that unit is...! : Yes… He’s here!*Tieria moves in towards Alto and Setsuna. : Are you two alright?: Y-Yeah…: Tieria, why are you here…?: I’ll explain later. First we need to make it out of this!: Sumeragi Lee Noriega, standing by for orders.: Aye, aye. The Raphael’s attack has broken the ELS’ mob apart, so now we capitalize on it! Make sure you take out every single one of them!: Setsuna F. Seiei, acknowledged!: I’ll pay you back twice over for what you did to us, ELS! Raphael Gundam (Tieria Erde) Pilot Skills: Innovade (イノベイド) – Activates at 130 morale. Accuracy and Evasion increase as morale does. Support Attack L1 Support Defense L2 Guard All Attack L1 Spirit Commands: Invincible Strike Fury/Direct Hit Iron Wall Mech Features: Gun GN Field GN Drive [T] MD Trans-AM Squad Bonus: Armor +100, HP +500 (Armor +150, HP +1000, Ranged weapons’ attack +150) Tieria’s voice actor: Hiroshi Kamiya Tieria’s usually meant as a tank-and-spank kind of pilot, but the Raphael has surprisingly good mobility and Tieria’s Innovade skill provides a nice evasion boost (and he’s already a good pilot on his own). It’s the 2nd hardest hitting CB Gundam (losing only to Setsuna, of course) and packs some very nice range. It even has a MAPW that hits 1-8 in two straight lines up front. On the flip side, the Raphael REALLY likes to drink EN, which makes it the most dangerous Gundam to pit against the ELS. If you wanna make full use of him, you’ll likely want to give him E-Save – if you want him to lead, add in a squaddie with a resupply module. The high cost usually pushes me away since I don’t care enough to use him as a main unit, but I reckon he’s solid enough as a squaddie too. If you wind up with free deployment space and want him to lead, pairing him up with Yamashita or, better yet, Canaria could probably work well. Carrying on now! SRW UX - Envoy from Jupiter : ELS approaching! ELS approaching!: Well, we can’t have ‘em close in on us, right? Only one thing to do now… and that’s sniping the target before it comes to that! : Sniping the target! Sniping the target!   SRW UX - Love 14 ver. HD (Vocal) : What kind of sound is this…? It’s just a garbled mess! I can’t make any sense of it!   SRW UX - Dunbine Flies: It’s that voice again… The same voice I heard back at the Federation base!: A voice…? What’re you talking about, Cham?! I don’t hear anything!       SRW UX - Life Goes On : I’ve no idea what any of you are up to, but if you’re going around hurting people then you’ll answer to me!   SRW UX - Love Survivor: The Boom, the Skrugg, Vajra and, now, these ELS?!: What the frick is happening to the Earth Sphere over these last months?! Did the place get cursed or something?!    SRW UX - Shangri-La : Why are these – and the Festum, for that matter – attacking us humans for?! : Stay on your toes, Kazuki! There’re still many unknowns regarding the ELS, so try your best to play it safe!   SRW UX - Envoy from Jupiter: Argh… It’s happening again…! : They’re being drawn to Marie’s Quantum Brainwaves…! Hallelujah! : I’m on it! These tin-cans ain’t getting even one finger on her!    SRW UX - Envoy from Jupiter: To promote dialogue with alien species is the final objective of the Celestial Being…: But, at this moment, I’ve no choice but to take hostile action! As contradictory as it might be, I won’t think twice to do this if it’ll let me save them!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymhMq37Usmg And let’s show off his best attack right away. SRW UX - The Eternal Soldiers : Hah, I dunno what’s up with these ELS, but I like ‘em already if they’re bringing this much game to the table! : We’re handing out free gunshot wounds today. Step up and I’ll make sure all of you leave here with one…!    SRW UX - Future-Bound Fighting Spirit: The Europa also lost contact around Jupiter… Just what is going on in this planet?!: We can’t leave these things to roam free or they might reach Earth again! They’ve got to be stopped now!   : All ELS confirmed destroyed. No new targets on radar.: Stay frosty, people. Get ready to pull back as soon as we give the word.: Alto, I apologize for what happened there.: Ah? N-No, don’t mention it… I’m the one who jumped into that mess and I couldn’t do jack.: Really, I should be apologizing for getting in your way…: Listen, did you… feel something when you closed in with that swarm of ELS?: “Something”?: …: (ELS, the Extraterrestrial Living-metal Shape-shifter… Could it be that what I felt when I came into contact with them was…?) Cut to the Frontier, Sheryl’s still coughing and not looking too good, but she tells Grace she’s fine. And what about the Galaxy? The ships we managed to rescue have successfully Folded to the Earth Sphere. That’s a relief for Sheryl, but Grace sees problems on the horizon: it took a long while for the folks of this world to begin to accept the Frontier’s presence, and the Galaxy Fleet’s arrival will complicate things once more. All the more reason why Sheryl needs to work even harder – she, and her song, will help this world welcome the Galaxy Fleet as well… that cough isn’t going to make it easy, though. He tries holding on, but quickly passes out, calling out to Alto.  Back to us, Aoi is appropriately amazed at the Raphael Gundam for blasting that group of ELS to kingdom come. We’ve got all four Gundam Meisters with us now, but Lux vividly remembers Lockon telling her Tieria died during a previous battle of theirs. Moritsugu and Soushi explain: the guy’s an Innovade, a manmade quasi-Innovator. He’s an artificial human, or, better put, a terminal unit built by Veda – that, in turn, means his mind is backed-up inside the supercomputer. So long as that’s there, he can come back indefinitely, even if his body dies. “Heh, now that’s sounds real handy. So you get a do-over on life as many times as you want? Where do I sign up?” Kaido laughs, only to get immediately shot down by Magami. “Heh... They’d be better off giving an actual monkey a ‘do-over’ on life than a moron like you.” “Haw, haw, haw, we’ve got a comedian here, eh?! Just lemme get my hands on you, chuckles!” Kaido starts stomping over, and Scarlet suggests a worried Tsubasa to ignore the two idiots – the ELS are more important. Indeed, Sima Yi didn’t expect them to attack the way they did, and considering that the Europa was an exploration vessel sent to Jupiter, Luna and Shinn figure the aliens probably have something going on with the planet. In any case, we’ll need to wait until the eggheads have a report on the things. That being said, Cham pokes Shou again about what she felt during battle. What was it?  Cut to the Ptolemaios, Setsuna has an answer: the ELS have a mind – or something akin to it – of their own, and he felt it when the things were trying to fuse with the 00. Lasse can’t imagine blobs of metal having minds, but Tieria remembers Aeolia Schenberg’s 200-year-old prophecy of humanity being met with visitors from outer-space. Thus, the guy established the Celestial Being, and created Veda and the Innovades to help unite mankind. If the ELS are intelligent beings, then it could be that the hour of Aeolia’s foretold “future dialogue” is nigh. However, as Allelujah remembers, the “dialogue” step of Aeolia’s plan was supposed to take place AFTER humanity had left the confines of the Solar System. Sumeragi ponders how we already have the Frontier Fleet and several other visitors from other universes, so maybe we’re headed towards another future than the one he predicted way back when. The fact that we may be diverging from Aeolia’s plan makes Tieria pensive, and Allelujah thinks back to what Hino said back at Moldova about “divergence of possibilities”; what if all the possibilities inherent to mankind have caused it to diverge into a new future? Setsuna, meanwhile, is worried about what the outcome of this “dialogue” could be.  In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the baddies are up to no good: Mitsuhiro congratulates Hester in being named Representative of the Army of Mankind. In truth, that spot was supposed to be filled by Hazard, so she can’t well celebrate this. Dog Tack is there as well, and Hester tells him she doubts Hazard’s the kind of man to let that be the end. Indeed, she believes he’ll make a comeback and rejoin them in their struggles. Dog vows to serve her faithfully until that time arrives, and Hester has high hopes for the skilled aide. Now, time to go over what the Army of Mankind’ll be fielding: they’ve already got the Megatherion and Babylon, plus GN-Xs and Jinrais from the Federation Army. The new Special Mobile Troop is also expected to join in. Dog hadn’t heard of that Troop, and Mitsuhiro tells that it’s a team put together by Prof. Novel Dylan, the creator the Riot Series and worldwide authority in particle physics. Now if only they could finish the new Salvator Model... that requires a Fafner Core, as Kariya notes, and Tatsumiya is the only place they’ll find one.  : ?! Are you going to attack the island?! : It’s necessary to defend humanity, as I’m sure you’re aware.: Says the people who left my dad and the Moldova Base staff to die…! : Sacrifices need to be made in order for the rest to be kept safe.: Didn’t you stain your hands with blood precisely because you’ve someone you wish to be safe?: …!: We’ve come too far to start having second thoughts…… : (Michio…): (drat it, what am I doing? The reason I left the island was to…): (Yumiko…) Location: Island of Tatsumiya – Forest  : Oh, what gives…? This is supposed to be a group bug-hunt, so why am I the only one who got lost…? (Seri): Aargh, moooom! : Moooom!: Huh?! Wh-Who… Is someone there?: Hahah, “mom”. That’s my… first word… since being born…: W-Who are you…?: Heeheehee… Time for Sumeragi and Richard to unlock their second tactician bonuses: +10% attack power during the player phase and 10% EN/MP regen to everyone, respectively. Very nice. And, for those keeping track, the Fafner trio’s now up to 110 combined kills – only 40 left! Joey’s up to 56. Brunom1 fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Apr 1, 2019 |

Because he wanted to wear a second Gundam as a hat for some reason. Also, am I totally forgetting events in the F movies, or does this mean we don't get Lovely Bomber?

Funny that they connected with Demonbane, because it's unaffected by Fuse, due to running on MP. I actually didn't know they had that until it happened to me in a lategame mission. There's actually a really interesting pairing for Tieria in the back that I used, but it's with a future unit. I felt this was a reasonably fun mission. Particularly the first half where you need to spread your units out to stop the Vajra. Wish I could remember more about how the second half went for me, besides being amused how the Fafner trio and Moritsugu were outdamaging Setsuna. Brunom1 posted:

One thing that bums me out about UX is that Banpresto really had a chance to have fun with the ELS and what they can do, but played things safe and kept to what the ELS could do in Trailblazer proper. I mean, how could you not give us stuff like ELS Demonbane or ELS Mark Sein? On the other hand, yeah, I'm also of the opinion that Gundam Raphael looks hella dumb. It gets even more ridiculous when you realize that multiple people at Sunrise created/approved that design for the movie, and had no problems with how stupid the Raphael looks.

It's a good thing that V was easy because I had two supers for most of the game.

Okay, did a binge-read of what's posted so far, and it's kind of amazing how pure Kurou's and Joey's dynamic is. I always did like the idea of the games, I just never had the patience for the large waves the series loves to throw at you especially late game.

 Welcome back, folks. Last time, we survived a double dosage of dull with Trailblazer and Frontier, but, fret not, we’re back in the cool part of town today! Arnie, Saya, Shinn and Kazuki are deploying as solo event units, so that calls for a few changes in our formation: Fei-Yen/Lockon Sun Quan/Sun Shangxian Dancouga/Canaria Mazinkaiser/Soubi Michel/Kenji Ozma/Tieria Mamoru/Sakura Cao Cao/Moritsugu Liu Bei/Rennie Yamashita/Lunamaria Joe/Luca Setsuna/Klan Shou/Marvel Aesap/Guan Yu Kurou/Deceive Heroman Alto/Allelujah Kouichi/Eida Tactician: Zhuge Liang Lot of stuff to do today, so let’s get to it.   : Cpt. Spencer, I believe both the Vijaya and Draupa are ready to be deployed. : Okay. Let’s get going, then.: U-Um…: Something wrong?: N-No, I… I just can’t stop thinking if I’m ready for this… : I mean, I wouldn’t want to trip you up…: Not at all, Ayul. Remember, my purpose is to bring about your awakening. : So, if anything, I’m the one here to help extend your reach. : B-But…: Heh, I've already died once.: That makes my life as cheap as they come… but if I can still give something to you, then…: Cpt. Spencer…: Come on. We… rather, you will grasp the Beginning of Life with your own hands!: Okay…! Location: Tatsumiya – Forest : Life is born…: Life…?: I, you, everyone, we are all our own persons. That’s how so many connections were formed between us. : Uh, is that some kind of fairy-tale?: Yes; a fairy-tale about us and about this very universe.: A joyful and sad tale, given to all of us by God…: …?: Can I ask you a favor?: Huh? Oh, sure – ask away. Could you be my friend? I don’t have a single one…: Ahahaha. Hey, now, what’re you on about? I think we already are, no?: Thank you, Seri…: Don’t mention it… Um, wait. Did I tell you my name?*  * : Don’t move!: Wh-Who—?!: Don’t try anything funny and I won’t hurt you. Come over here!: N-No… Someone! HELP!: HAAH!*Punch!* : Grurgh!*Faint.*  : (The Army of Mankind’s made its way even out here… ALVIS may already be under their control by the looks of things…!): Are you two hurt?: N-No, we’re fine… Who are you?: Athrun! You saved us!: Y-You’re…?!: Oh, you know each other?: …: Tsubaki… Minashiro…?: “Minashiro”…?! As in, Soushi Minashiro?!: Eheheh… Pleased to meet you?  : Tatsumiya’s been taken over by the Army of Mankind?! Are you serious, Soushi?! : Yes, there’s no doubt about it. : Is my dad… is everyone safe?!: From what I’ve heard, ALVIS accepted an unconditional surrender so no major battles broke out. I wouldn’t think the people of the island were hurt. : Mom…: So they went behind our backs and took the place while we were out in space?! Those good-for-nothing hyenas!  : But the Army of Mankind’s also an official independent platoon of the Federation, right? : Yeah. We’re supposed to be on the same side, so what gives? : Hester Gallop. She was just assigned as Representative of the Army of Mankind… and she’d always been very insistent in trying to get ALVIS to hand over our units. : And this is more of that? She’s after the Fafners in our hangar?: I believe so.: Tsk… And she’ll even take over the whole island to make that happen?!: We need to head back right now! Who knows what they’ll do to everyone if we leave them be! : Calm down, Kazuki. Rush in there without a plan and you’ll be doing exactly what they want.: Are you telling me not to care about our friends and families?!: Of course not. Everyone wants their friends and family to be safe. : And you need to do everything in your power to keep those dear people from becoming casualties. I agree with that thought 100%. : Mr. Asuka… : … : But remember what I said before: you’re not doing this by yourself.: …!: We’re all here too. We’ll work out a way to save the people of the island and then we’ll do it together.: …: Alright. I apologize, Mr. Asuka… and thank you. : Heehee, hearing you say that shows how much you’ve grown.: Th-This isn’t funny, Cham…: But isn’t it strange how fast they managed to pull off an op like this? I mean, the Army of Mankind was just put together…: I’m sure they’d been planning this for a while now. : Hm. And our departure into space was exactly the opportunity they needed to execute. As though it was all preordained… : Another freakish chain of coincidences, hm? : Then, what would the next event in that chain be…?*Beep, beep.*  : Your Highness, we’re receiving a transmission! They say it’s from Hester of the Army of Mankind! : From the Army of Mankind…?! : Master Kongming, do you think…?: Speak of the devil, indeed. Once more, threads of the spider-web of “coincidence” wrap around us… : …: Put her through, please.*Beep.* : A good day to you, pilots of the UX. I’m Hester Gallop, Representative of the Army of Mankind.: What a surprise to have someone of your stature contacting us. What do you need, madam?: As I’m sure you’re aware, the island of Tatsumiya – and ALVIS itself – is under our control.: Thus, I’d like to request that you return the Fafners they lent to you.: That sounds dangerously like extortion, if you ask me. What would happen if we refused?: I don’t think it needs to be said. But it’s in the best interest of the island’s citizens that you comply. : O-Of all the underhanded—!: I’ll be looking forward to a speedy response from you. I’m not known as a patient woman, you see.*Boop.*  : Now that was a one-sided “request” and half. Seems our hunch was right. : Hester’s a pretty big player among the hard-liners in the Federation government. I don’t think she’s bluffing…: Maybe not, but we can’t hand over the Fafners to the Army of Mankind. : What about the people of the island, though…?!: It’s all right. Not even one of them will be hurt.: Is that so… Do you mean she’s awakening?: Yes…: …!: Got it. Get in touch with the Quarter and the Ptolemaios, then! The UX are moving out to liberate Tatsumiya! Location: ALVIS – Cell  : Heeey! You let me out of here right now!*Door opens.* : Yeesh. Haven’t changed at all, have we?: Y-You’re…!: You doing okay, Yumiko…?: Mi-Michio… and Yukippe!: I suggest you behave yourself, okay? I’d rather things not have to turn sour.: Yukippe, why did you do it? Why did you betray us?!: …: Tell me, do you remember the faces of our classmates?: Our classmates…?: One by one, they were assimilated by the Festum genes they'd been implanted with… and now the three of us are all who remain. : What it comes down to is that we were guinea pigs – a means to bring about the next generation, the ones truly meant to be the Fafners’ pilots. : But what does any of that have to do with the Army of Mankind?!: The more someone pilots a Fafner, the more their chromosomes mutate, bringing them closer and closer to death by assimilation…: But it’s also possible for those genes to develop in a way that allows one to survive. At least, that’s what my dad said. : So you left the island to try and find a potential cure for assimilation, is that what you’re getting at?: Do you seriously think that justifies what you’ve done?!: … : A long time ago, I knew this girl who dreamed of becoming an idol singer…: ?! That’s…!: I asked myself: “what should I do to protect her dream”…?: And before I knew it, I was fighting outside the island. : Michio…*Door opens!* : Michio!: W-Wah?! What’re you yelling my name for, idiot?! : You’re the one who’s always telling me to call you that. Our next mission’s about to begin, remember?: Fine, fine… You go on ahead. I’ll be there in a sec.: …*She leaves.* : That girl, I swear… she really needs to learn how to ease up.: Well, I gotta get going, Yumiko. I’ll come see you later…: Please wait.: Just tell me this: do you really believe fighting with the Army of Mankind is the way to protect that girl’s dream…? : …: I dunno…*Leaves.* : Michio, you… : I’m so sorry that you have to carry me, Athrun…: It’s just this is my first time ever outside. I still can’t walk too well.: …: Your first time ever? Tsubaki, what kind of girl are you…?: … They’re coming.: Huh…?!*Alarm! : Th-That’s…!: The Festum?! And at the worst possible moment…!*Tssssst!* : Aah! Wh-What’s this?!: The entrance to a shelter. You have to get away from here, Seri.: But what about you?! SRW UX - Separation: I have to go… (Separation lyrics.): Go where?: We promised each other we’d be friends, right?: T-Tsubaki…?*Shelter closes.* : …: You were controlling that shelter, weren’t you?: Are you coming with me, Athrun?: Yeah. I’m one of many people tied to this island, so I’d like to see for myself what you’ll feel, what you’ll learn…: Everything I learn, I learn in order to impart to our Mir. : To impart the beginning of that joyful and sad tale – one of how this universe can have nothing but life… Mission 25 – Life ~ Awakening  SRW UX - The Gate of Neidhöhle Opens : Are you there…? : Gh-Gwaaaaaaargh!  : Hrm… Even our best forces are no match for them! : I’m sure you’re well aware that conventional weapons will have a very hard time standing up to the Festum’s mind reading abilities. : Which is precisely why we’re asking you to give us the Fafners!: Our organization is the one tasked with fighting all of mankind’s enemies. Don’t you think weapons that embody humanity’s hope are meant to be in our care? : You people think of nothing but war. I’m not about to hand them over to you.: Besides, humanity’s hope doesn’t lie with just the Fafners.: What…? SRW UX - Rebellion Against Fate : The UX?!: Hmph, what a surprise to see them here…: Wait by your cell, Cmdr. Makabe. We may as well have them weaken the enemy for us.: (Kazuki…): It’s looking like the Army of Mankind’s planning to have us play shock troops for them.: I know we’re here to protect the people of the island, but setting up a united front with them is just…: Tch… Michio, do you hear me?! Why are you helping scum like the Army of Mankind?!: Kazuki… : These are our orders. The “why” doesn’t matter.: “Orders”?! You have friends and family, don’t you?! How can you do this to our own…?!: I had a family… I don’t anymore. As for my friends… the Festum ate all of them.: …?! : That’s enough, Kazuki. : Mr. Asuka…: (For the Festum to attack at this precise moment… Was it just random chance or was it an inevitability?): Troops, ignore the Army of Mankind for the time being. Focus all your energies on eliminating the Festum! Mission Objective: Destroy all enemies. Mission Failure: Any ship, Arnie, Saya, Kazuki or Shinn shot down. Got a bigger fight ahead of us than during our past couple of missions, but we’ve fought enough of the Festum to know how to deal with them (and there’s no superpowered one this time). As said, ignore Michio and Canon for now and just worry about dropping the things as quickly as possible – make sure you don’t leave stuff weakened around them or those two may steal those kills. And, as before, try your best to conserve resources because there’s more stuff on the way. SRW UX - The Gate of Neidhöhle Opens   SRW UX - Shangri-La    Onomnomnom. Good to see you creepy blobs again. SRW UX - Lion   Kill enough stuff and the plot kicks in.  : drat them, they’ve broken through! What is the Army of Mankind doing?!*The Festum flies towards ALVIS HQ.* : S-Stop! Yumiko’s in there!: Get back here!!*Shinn blasts after the Festum!*   : R-Rrrgh!: Mr. Asuka…! : drat it… he got my thrusters!*The Impulse drops to the ground!*  : We’re detecting major abnormalities in the Impulse’s main thrusters and leg joints after that attack! It can’t get any lift!: What?! : This isn’t good… he’s a sitting duck right now! : …?!: They wanna assimilate Shinn while he’s immobile!: Are you there…? : Shinn, run!: Hrm…!: Haaaaaaah!  : Aargh!: Kazuki…?!: K-Kazuki, you…!: The Mark Sein should be able to resist assimilation at least a bit! Run while I keep them at bay…!: Gaaaaah!: Kazuki, stop! This is too much even for the Mark Sein!: Forget about me! Get away from here now!: I’m fine…! Y-You’re the one who needs to go… hurry!: I gave you an order, Kazuki! If we lose the Mark Sein here – if we lose you – that’ll be the end!: Don’t you have people you need to keep safe?! Those are the ones you’re truly meant to lay your life on the line for!: ?!: Shinn…!: That’s my point exactly, Mr. Asuka… Mika Arisaka - Life Goes On: As far as I’m concerned, you’re also a dear friend and someone I need to keep safe!: …!: Kazuki…!: Uooooooooh!*Kazuki drags the Festum far away!* : Kch… Impulse, move! Move!: If we don’t do something, he… my friend’s gonna..!: Everything will be fine. Destiny is your ally…: Huh…?!*Flash!  *The Destiny blows the Festum away.  : …?!: Wh-What…?!: It’s… the Destiny!: But who’s piloting it?!: Huh… What in Newton’s name is going on?! We’re not detecting any vital signs inside… It’s flying by itself!: By itself…?!: (No, this sensation is…!)*Beep.* : That’s the answer you picked…: It’s what you sought… the Wings of Destiny!: Who… Who are you?!: (I knew it… Tsubaki…!) : Shinn, hop aboard the Destiny quick! The Festum are still coming!: Athrun?! What’re you doing here…?!: Just do it already! You’ve people you need to keep safe too, don’t you?!: A-Alright…! : Come on, Destiny! This time… I’ll hold strong and protect all that’s dear to me!   : Kazuki, form up! We’ll shape destiny with our own hands… for as long as we’ve our lives! (Last part is Life Goes On lyrics.): Yes, sir!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc2ubP23p1U  : Th-They’re so strong…! : Kazuki… Mr. Asuka!: (“For as long as we’ve our lives”…): (Rrgh…! For what… for who have I been fighting for?!) (Life Goes On again.) : Now’s our chance, people! Destroy the remaining Festum!: Roger that! Hurray, Shinn finally has his actual bot back!  It’s still just as good as it was back in the prologue, and Shinn also has access to its better weapon now (plus Luna can dump that ZAKU!). Good times all around. SRW UX - Obelisk     SRW UX - Tales of Mirisha ~ The Brave Legend   SRW UX - Future-Bound Fighting Spirit     And the rest of them fall in short order. : All Festum confirmed destroyed. No new signals on radar! : That’s them taken care of, but what about…: That was some excellent work, UX. Now if you would, lay down your weapons and surrender immediately. : You had us take care of all the Festum and then you spring this on us, eh? That’s real cute!: … : What’re we gonna do about this, Soushi?!: Don’t worry. We’ll have our chance soon.: Soushi…? : Hah, is it over already? I think I’m actually a bit disappointed. But, now, the Fafners—*Alarm!* : Wh-What’s going on…?! : The ALVIS personnel have all escaped! They broke out of their cells!: What?! Get them back NOW!: We can’t! All of the base’s security devices and equipment are going out of control… We’re pinned down!: What insanity is going on here?! *Door opens.* : I see you made it too, Yumiko. : The bulkheads were opening and closing all around the base. They helped me… or, actually, I think they led me here…: The same happened to us. : But what is this place, commander…?*Power up!*  : This terminal is… Solomon’s main unit?! Which means…!: It’s Arthur’s Room… the 2nd CDC! : 2nd CDC…?! : Th-The computers are turning on by themselves… The island management functions are being transferred from the occupied 1st CDC!: To your stations, everyone! The basic structure of this place is the same as the 1st! : Run checks on all systems! We’re taking control of our island back!: But how is any of this working? Wasn’t the 2nd CDC sealed away because it put too much strain on our systems…?: If I had to guess, I’d say she’s behind this…: I am this island, and this island is me.: The only thing I can do for the people who live here is let them choose… so that they can know what they really want…: And you let Kazuki and Shinn make their choices too?: They weren’t the only ones. The people of the island did too; as did Soushi…: And so did the Festum…: Y-You’re…!: (Isn’t that right, Soushi…?) : (Tsubaki…!) : The island’s defense systems have come online…?! : Yo, what’s going on there?!*Beep.* : Apologies for the headache we caused. The ALVIS staff and all of the island’s inhabitants are safe.: Commander, did she… Is Tsubaki Minashiro awake?!: Yes, she is.: Mi-“Minashiro”…?!: UX, we’d like to employ your services again: please defend our island!: Consider it done, sir!: Okay, and with that mess sorted out, we can go to town on these mooks! : Hrm… Never did I expect this would take such a turn!: We’re left with no choice. Shift to Plan B!: Plan B…?! But, then, the island’ll…!: This is just a precaution for a worst case scenario. They should be here soon.: And if they can sort this out, great.

I can’t believe it!: Wrong, Arnie.

Those units are incredibly dangerous!: Ms. Saya…!: Skull Leader to all units! Move in and cover the Orphes!: Drive the Army of Mankind off this island!: Jin… Why do we have to fight again?!

 Draupa (Ayul Dylan) Pilot Skills: Prevail L4 Support Attack L2 Guard All Attack L2 Command L2 Mech Features: 20% EN Regen All Canceller Ayul’s voice actress: Ai Nonaka (other roles: Kyoko Sakura in Madoka, Tora in Xenoblade 2, Honoka in Dead or Alive, and several more).  Vijaya (Jin Spencer) Pilot Skills: Prevail L4 Support Attack L2 Hit & Away All Attack L2 Command L2 Mech Features: Gun 20% EN Regen All Canceller Jin’s Vijaya is pretty much a straight upgrade to his old Riot A, packing more of everything and, this time, with a focus on tanking stuff with its superlative armor. It’s still meant primarily as a sniper, and its best attack is range 3-9, but it now has a biiiig directional MAPW that blasts everything in a 3x9 AoE (4x9 near the end). All his main weapons have impressive accuracy modifiers, too, so just come packing Invincible and Alerts. Repeat what I said about Jin apply that to Ayul, only she has a wee bit less of nearly everything. She covers her melee range better than him, but the Draupa doesn’t hit as hard; mind you, with Guard, she’s actually a bit tankier. Also has a 3x8 directional MAPW, so watch it. Both enemies can only use those over 130 morale, but they’ll get there easily. The plot will kick in when either one of them is downed, but note that Ayul is the only one carrying a Skill Part (though I reckon Jin would be worth more cash). Your choice which you wanna go for. SRW UX - My Fate: Whatever the situation, I’ll carry out my orders to the bitter end.: (And, then, I will finally…)     SRW UX - A Bird’s Song: The second the Festum are gone, you start gunning for us, eh? You guys got a whole lotta nerve.: We’re simply carrying out our missions in order of priority. With the more threatening target eliminated, we move on to the next. That’s all.: “More” threatening, eh?: Sounds to me like you’re selling us short. Give us a sec and we’ll give you a wake-up call, though!    SRW UX - Deus Machina: You say this is to help you beat the Festum, but what’s the goddamn point if you gotta hurt people to make it happen?!: It’s not my place to ponder that. I simply carry out the mission given to me…!: Hmph. Words are wasted on those unwilling to listen, indeed.: She forces our hand, Kurou! Strike with all your might and open her eyes!  SRW UX - Envoy from Jupiter: Our top priority is to capture a Nothung Model… and I’ll eliminate anyone who opposes that…!: (Persistent to the point of obstinance… It’s almost like I’m looking at my old self…)   : The mission is a failure… Shifting to the final phase of Plan B.  SRW UX - Tales of Mirisha ~ The Brave Legend: Our flagship’s booked it and it’s near impossible to keep the island under control…: Yeesh, why am I still fighting around here?-- : Like bandits, you wield strength to take what you want from your fellow men… Tell me, where is the justice in your actions?!: Justice, huh…? It’d be real nice if that’s all it took for people to survive…!   SRW UX - Envoy from Jupiter: Your father worked to help mankind to his last breath!: And if you want proof, just look at Kazuki’s Mark Sein!: I’m sure you, of all people, can understand its reason for being!: Hmhmm… Dad really was who he was to the very end. : But I’m afraid I’ve already moved past the point of no-return!   SRW UX - My Fate: Why are you working against Tatsumiya?!: I’m sure there’re a ton of people you know around here!: I’ll get back to you on that. Mind you, I left the island because those folks are around…!         : That’s all I can take…: (I’m worried about that “Plan B” of theirs, but I need to back off for now…) And with them out of the way, I’ll clear the rest and take out Ayul for the Skill Part – be mindful of their MAPWs on approach, because they’ll likely have enough morale to blast you. SRW UX - Life Goes On: So much can be wiped out by the fires of war… and I’ll protect it all with these wings!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL3QgNooa0o Bam, here’s Shinn’s best attack plus the DK.  Leave me alone, Jin! SRW UX - The Proud Challengers: Jin, stop! That mech’s dangerous!: I know you understand that accelerated particle engines are—: Are you implying you’re the only one who can handle one of those?: No, I aim to soar even higher than you… and, then, I’ll grasp everything! With my own two hands!     Too bad, you can’t soar higher than GOUBINE! *Tweep.* : (This sensation I’m getting off her… it’s almost like…): (Like when I awakened…? Why is that…?)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROw6EuVX4G8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3oA8LM8ibA : My mother’s told me that your group is a trial that we need to overcome!: Your mother? “Trial”? What’re you on about?!   SRW UX - The Proud Challengers: What’s this I’m feeling from that unit…?: Something up, Magami?!: (This presence… it’s the same…!)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APVbwZTrgrc And here’s Ayul’s best attack. : Do you have any idea how dangerous that unit you’re flying is?!: Yes, and we’ll master it. That’s what Ayul and I are here for!      : You’re called Jin, right?! Then listen up: you got things all wrong!: Arnie never betrayed the Federation, ya hear?!: You being for or against the Federation isn’t important – I’m not fighting because of that anymore.: What I’m after is to use the Vijaya to grasp life itself!   SRW UX - The Proud Challengers: Hey, weren’t you and Arnie best friends?! How do you figure you two gotta fight?!: I’ve left my past behind…! And I’ll spare no one who gets in my way – not even him!    : Please, stop this! You’re Arnie’s best friend, aren’t you?: He’d been thinking about what happened to you all this time…!: The two of us have chosen different roads to follow…: And those roads are not parallel. Conflict is all that exists between them!    : A bona fide Innovator… I won’t let you and your dangerous powers anywhere near the Captain!*Tweep.* : (What presence is this? It’s not Quantum brainwaves, but…)    SRW UX - The Proud Challengers*Tzeeeeoooooop.* : …?!: (This presence… what’s going on?! Why does that feel so familiar…?!): (What’s this…?! Who are you?!)        There. Ayul drops Fei’s Disk, which gives +10 to Melee and Ranged, and +5 to Accuracy. : Uurk…!*Ayul flies away. : I’ve got you now…!: Ayul…!*Arnie tries going after, but Jin blocks the Orphes.* : Jin…!: Y-You’re not taking us down…!: We… We’ve something we need to see through! Something worth risking our lives for! : W-What?! Is that… Aura Power?!: But I don’t feel any hate. That’s…! : ‘Tis the strength of his resolve…! Nay… ‘tis the light of his soul?!: Jin… What happened to make you like this?!: I’ve finally found it, Arnie… my purpose in life!: Your purpose…?!: You heard me… All these years, I was just an empty shell of a man – soulless. : Anger and ambition controlled my every breath, and I mistook it all for actual pride. I was just a fool…: Cpt. Spencer…: But not anymore! Now I really have a duty to fulfill… I have pride! I have resolve! I have a soul!: Arnie! You represent the last piece of my past that I’ve to overcome! : Gwaaaargh!: Ensign Berge!: I-I’m fine… I’m not letting myself be beaten by him…!: But…!: Jin, you’re absolutely right. I, too, was soulless throughout all these years… : I didn’t understand what it truly meant to protect life, and I did just drift aimlessly…: But not anymore!: What…?: Now I’ve people I want to protect! I’ve taken the burden of our future onto my shoulders…!: Just as you’ve your pride, I’ve an unflinching belief within my heart!: Arnie…!: … SRW UX - Roaring Deathblow: Ms. Saya… we’re doing the Hell Stringer! : ?! Arnie…! : H-Hey, isn’t that…?!: You’re going to use that warp ability again?!: You can’t, Arnie! If you do that, you’ll…!: I’m prepared to face whatever might happen!: Because, Jin… you also represent the last piece of my past that I’ve to overcome!: …*Beep, boop! Power uuuuuuuup!* : Lepton Vectrers, emergency acceleration! : S-Saya…?!: Synchronization coefficient 97, 98… Pressure set, safety lock released!: SEEEEIIII! : Captain, that light is…!: Get back, Ayul!: HAAAAAH! : C-Captain…!: Behold, Arnie! This is… my PRIDE!: That won’t break me, Jin! I swear it on my beliefs!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQncJI9BXeU Captions are available!   : Rgh… Gaarrgh!: Arnie…! : Hrgh…!: Cpt. Spencer!*Ayul moves next to him.* SRW UX - Prologue: Hang in there, Captain! : S-Sorry, Ayul… Turns out I’m the one tripping you up…: No, no… your proud soul left a deep mark in me.: Just getting a chance to experience that light is more than good enough…: Thanks, Ayul…: I promise, I’ll bring about your awakening – in time…: …?!: I believe in you, Captain… : …*Saya moves after Arnie.* : Ensign… Do you hear me, Ensign?!: Gch… M-Ms. Saya…: Thank goodness, you’re awake.: Come in, Elshank! The Lyras is bringing the Orphes back to the ship!: Have medical teams ready to see to Ensign Berge as soon as we land! : C-Copy that! : Oi, Arnie… you’re pushing it way too much…!: Still, it was due to him that we could repel those troublesome foes. : Now we simply pray for his recovery. : All Army of Mankind forces have been silenced.: It seems to be over.  : That mech’s one of theirs…!: This is Canon Memphis of the Army of Mankind. I surrender.: (Surrender…?): What should we do, Your Highness?: We can’t well attack someone who’s lost their will to fight. Make preparations to receive our units— : S-Stop! That unit… SRW UX - Mark Sein: It’s engaging its Fenrir!: F-Fenrir?!: That bomb that went off when Shouko and Kasugai died…?!: There ain’t gonna be anything left of the island if we let that thing go off!: …: She’s going to blow herself up to take us out…?!: What now?! Want me to see if I can snipe just her cockpit?!: N-No, don’t! Listen, Canon’s got her heart in the right place! If we just talked to her— : You wanna talk to her?! That bomb might go off at any second!: Please…!: Michio…: Canon, we’ve failed our mission! What’s doing something like that gonna accomplish?!: That’s irrelevant. These are my orders.: Still with “order this, order that”?! Is there even a person in there?!: There was before. She doesn’t exist anymore.: …?!: I see it now... You also…: Kazuki…: (She feels no sense of self… She really is like how I used to be.): Canon, come with me and we’ll surrender together! I’m sure the people here…: Triple Six, why are you trying to stop my mission?! On whose orders are you doing this?!: You really don’t understand?! : S-Stay away!: I can’t see your face if I do that. : What…?!: I’ll give you three minutes. If you wanna press that switch and power up that bomb, go right ahead!: Aah?! What’s he talking about?!: But if you don’t make a decision in those three minutes, then I’ll really make you stop existing!: Kazuki, what is this?! Do you know something we don’t?!: She… She can’t make her own choices…: …: Hrm, say whatever the hell you want! I’ve nothing! I am nothing!: I once knew a girl very much like you…: All she did was fight as others told her to. I tried my best to save her, but I couldn’t…: Shinn…: Wh-What are you…: But that’s not the case with you! It’s not too late yet!: You can still choose your destiny...! Your own wishes, your own strength can still shape it! : Choose my destiny…?: There’s no such thing as someone with nothing. There has to still be something inside you.: N-No, I… I don’t…: Canon, can you tell us the meaning behind your name?: I-It’s a type of musical composition… a melody that’s slowly reborn, bit by bit… That’s what my mom…: See?: …?!: You still have that beautiful name, no?: And that name carries all of your mom’s wishes.: Y-You… What do you want from me?!: We want you to make a decision, Canon!: B-But… I…!: W-We’re running out of time! Her Fenrir’s going to…!: Decide, Canon! As scared and uncertain as you might be, the only way you’ll have a future is if you choose one yourself!: I… I…! : Five seconds…!: You’re there, aren’t you, Canon?!: I… Aaaaargh…!*Click.* : …! : Wh-What happened…?! : I-I don’t see an explosion… then…! SRW UX - Separation: I… I cut off the Fenrir’s control… why?: You made a decision, Canon.: N-No, I… My orders…!: Those orders were your shackles and they’ve just come loose.: What you have now… is your own free will – a strong will that said “I want to live”. : No, you’re wrong…! I’ve no will! I’m nothing!: No, you’re definitely someone. : The girl standing right there is the one who saved the lives of all of us and everyone who lives on this island. : I-I…?: Thank you, Canon…: N-No, listen to me! I… I’m…!*Canon sprints over to Michio.* : T-Triple Six…!: It’s alright, Canon… It’s alright…: No… It’s not, Michio… I… I just…! *sniffles*: Aaaaahh…!: …: We ought to have them both arrested right away.: Just leave them alone a bit.: Heh, I thought you’d say that.: Aaah… Waaaahaaaaaaa! : …: …: Why did you come back?: Truth is, I wanted to do this for a while now.: But a lot of stuff happened. I also did a fair share of bad deeds with the army. : And every time I did, I just felt like I couldn’t bring myself to come back and face everyone.: Hrm, you idiot! You should’ve just come home sooner instead of digging yourself deeper into that hole!: I guess so…: But maybe I can still turn this ship around?: Michio…: I’m going to join the UX in their battles. That’s the least I can do to start making amends…: …: You go and do whatever. I’ll be tagging along, though.: Huh…?! Y-Yumiko…!: You have no idea how much I cried when you left the island.: So I think I’m entitled to some of those amends. : Hah-Hahah…: Yeah, alright. But, FYI, kick-starting your idol career’s waay beyond me, okay?: You idiot…: Thank you. It’s only because of you that Shinn and the others are safe.: No, I didn’t do anything. This island is safe because everyone chose to make it so. : Just as you chose to have a heart of your own?: Yes, that was my choice. I am here. : And, next, it will be your turn to choose, Athrun.: …?!: You’ve once again chosen to live not as Alex Dino, but as Athrun Zala…: What’s the next road you’ll choose to travel?: I…: Heehee, let’s talk more when we meet again, Athrun… : …  : Th-This is…! Where on earth did you get this from?! (on TV): We happened across it while searching the coastal waters around that other Tatsumiya – the one that was blown up by the Fenrir.: Then it belongs to the sunken Mark Vier…: Now, this is outside my field of expertise, so I can hardly speak with certainty…: But I believe Dr. Bartland can put this to excellent use towards that, yes?: Of course. We are deeply grateful for your offer, Prof. Novel. : And the Special Mobile Troop is always standing by to take part in any operations that arise. If there’s any way we can assist, do let us know.*Bloop.* : What an amazing stroke of luck. No sooner does our mission to capture Tatsumiya fail, this happens. : Though it sounds a bit too good to be luck… : All’s well that ends well. Dog Tack’s rather aggressive tactics took me by surprise, but we can let it slide this time.: He may be a fine officer, but he had absolutely no idea what the point of capturing Tatsumiya was. : I’d never have given out such an order, were I in command.: Hm, that’s true. Still, now it’s finally time…: You may count on me. I’ll build a new one, just as I said I would.: And unlike Hino’s and all its wasted potential, this one will be a true decisive weapon…!: The Destiny is safe and back in Shinn Asuka’s hands. We thank you so much for your help with it, Cmdr. Makabe.: Please, it was nothing – especially considering all the support Orb has given us over the years. Do give my regards to Rep. Athha when you speak to her.: I gotta say, I didn’t expect Tsubaki Minashiro to intervene in that mess.: From what I’d heard, she’s the core of Tatsumiya and more or less its guardian? : You heard right, yes. She used to be inside an artificial womb set within the “Valkyrie’s Cave”; from there, her mind was crossed with everything on the island…: Even the Festum…: …: But now she’s awake, and willingly left that Cave. : I suppose that’s her trying let us choose how we’ll deal with the Festum… and what we, as people, want to do with our lives. : I see… And that was why you hired the UX, wasn’t it, Makabe? You wanted to show Tsubaki that you were prepared to square off against the Army of Mankind – against your fellow men… : Though I should have been the only one to carry that weight. : Sorry, man, but I don’t think you got wide enough shoulders to carry both the kids and their parents. : No, we’ll all take up our share of the kids’ pain. : Mizoguchi…: …: Commander, would you be willing to let me look after Tsubaki? I feel responsible for her, considering I was the one who placed her in the Valkyrie’s Cave. : Dr. Toumi…: As you will. I had thought of returning her to your care now that she’s awakened.: Are you sure about this, sir? That means Dr. Toumi would have to stay here on the island, so who would be watching out for the kids’ physical and mental health?: In truth, I’m considering asking Yumiko to take up that torch.: Yumiko…?!: Hm, not only is she a very reliable woman, she is personally very much hoping to get this assignment… : But I will only extend that offer if you approve of it, Dr.: I see… Yumiko is…: Very well, commander. You can go ahead with it… : Yumiko aside, Makabe, I need to ask: are you serious about also assigning that girl, Canon, to the UX?: I am. It was a request from Tsubaki Minashiro. : From Tsubaki…?: Well, I don’t think you can say no to that. : Canon Memphis, pilot of the Babylon Model, unit code J-017. : You don’t have to act so formal, Canon. I’m just your guardian, not your superior officer.: “Guardian”? Not a POW overseer?: We’re not a military force. And, more importantly, you’re not a prisoner either: you’re free to come and go as you’d like.: …: Then I ask permission to exchange information with the other pilots.: Oh, right. They’re all around the same age, so I’m sure you’ll be good friends.: But those dirty clothes of yours just won’t do. Here, why don’t you try these on?: What are…?: These belonged to Shouko… my late daughter.: But they’re still very new. She was a very frail girl, you see, so she couldn’t go outside very often. I’d be happy if you used them. : Is that an order…?: Hahah, not at all. It’s just a request. : I’m not sure what I should do without orders…: Then you’ll need to think hard and figure it out. Consider that my one and only order to you.: …: What a difficult mission this is… : Sheryl passed out?! : Yes, I just saw it on the news. It looks like she’s taking some time off to recover… : That story’s spreading like wildfire – even Men’s Gossip Monthly is all over it.: Speculation’s the name of the game right now, and we’ve even got people with theories that this is actually a serious disease she’s come down with.: Sheryl…: You’re worried about her, aren’t you, Alto?: Hm? And you are…?: I’ll introduce you. This is Tsubaki Minashiro… my little sister.: Pleased to meet you.: You… have a sister?: It’s complicated. She was elsewhere until recently.: (I see. This girl is the island’s core…): You’re Saya, yes?: ?!: Do you two know each other?: Heehee… so to speak. My mother was called Saya too. : “Was”?: She passed away before I was born. : Still, she was the one who gave me life…: Tsubaki…: Hey, Saya. I know that name has lots of different meanings but…: What does your Saya mean?: My name means… : H-Hey… H-How’s everyone?: Canon… why are you dressed like that?: … Youko Hazama asked me to.: Shouko’s mom?: D-drat it, I knew this wouldn’t work. I’m getting my old clothes!: No, those look good on you, Canon.: Ah…? : And you’re gonna be one of our pals from now on, so don’t be a stranger!: P-Pal…: There’s no rush. Take things one step at a time and see what’s around you.: And as you find friends and family… you will, then, find yourself for the very first time.: Right, Saya?: …: Yes, that’s right… SRW UX - Prologue: U-Urgh…!*Door opens.* : How’re you feeling, Arnie?: Maj. Richard…!: You’ve finally taken things too far. You’re officially Richard #2. : …: But I don’t regret it. And I’m sure that’s the same for you.: Hm…?: When I started piloting the Orphes, I felt something like fate at work.: There’s something with that mech that makes me feel this… this grand, unseen power.: You know what I’m talking about don’t you? That’s why you kept using that power yourself.: …: I understand now. Once you make it past that point, the only option you’ve left is to face off against your fate.: Even if what you’ll find waiting down that road is Hell itself…: And I think Jin might also be doing the same…: You poor man. I suppose a good death is just beyond you… (Hissatsu Shigotonin quote.)*Richard leaves.* : Maj. Richard… : …: Here you are, Major. : Hm? Is something up?: A message came in from the president of the Hadou Financial Group. It seems she has a new job for us.: From the Hadou princess herself? Alright, I’ll look into it.: And… there’s something I’d like to ask you.: What about?: That pilot, Jin… he mentioned an “awakening”.: …: That’s still up in the air. But I suppose we’ll have our answer soon enough…: Do you also think they…?: Yeah… I’ve the feeling that the time has come at last…: … Few more Tactician bonuses for us: Michio’s just joined and his first bonus provides a 10% boost to all support actions; Soushi and Moritsugu’s second bonuses are, respectively, +5% to evasion rate and 10% attack power during the player phase. We’re coming upon the best mission to grind for secret kills. The Fafner trio is up to 123 combined kills, so I don’t even NEED to do it with them to make that threshold in time, and Joey’s up to 66, which is just past ¼ of the way – I’ll grind him just a wee bit to give myself some leeway. And here are the convos we didn’t get today (mostly because Shinn and Kazuki moved waaay too far during the events): : Why do people need to fight each other?! Your enemies are supposed to be the Festum, no?!: Sorry, but the bigshots kinda see everything that’s not in with us to be an enemy.: And you’re seriously okay with that?!: I couldn’t tell you. The longer you fight, the harder it becomes to figure out who your enemy is!-- : How did you ever get your hands on that unit, Kazuki…?: Your father gave it to me…: So even with him gone, his will continues “to be”…: Tch, fighting this is about the last thing I wanna do…!-- : Moving to immobilize and capture. The pilot’s life is a nonissue…: The red Fafner…! You’re not taking me out like you did before!

Jin, you've gone from being an rear end in a top hat for poor reasons to being an rear end in a top hat for no reason. That is not an improvement.

It's just poorly explained right now and probably will remain to be until near the end of the game, and when it does get revealed no one will like it.

Ah, so I take it it's one of those "he's blaming literally everything else but himself/the people actually responsible for causing things for his problems" kind of things? Or is it something much more boneheaded? Anyway, aside from that can we take the time to appreciate how awesome that art of the Destiny's arrival Brunom found was? Seriously, that kicked rear end.
