Breakout planning post

[srwuga_mods]

Because something this crazy-awesome needs to be coordinated to achieve maximum craziness.  And awesomeness.

The Adventus prison is located on an island whose location will be conveniently provided to us by the DC, enabling the White Chalice to recover the pilots that had been kidnapped previously.  The base itself is a veritable Alcatraz, with a large garrison of both Federation and and Adventus machines ready to defend it, as well as considerable conventional forces as well.

Thankfully, with Phillip and Shotarou there's a means for the prisoners and free people to communicate with each other and a joint breakout/rescue attempt can be coordinated, and this is what this post is here for.  People can use this post to discuss OOC how they would like for this to play out and what they would like to see.  Do keep in mind this is meant to be a group effort, with everyone working together, but we'd rather have as many people be awesome as possible.

The thread will end with everyone reuniting, just as Jeremy and RGNK arrive onto the scene, and thus the stage will be set for the mission LIGHT AND SOUND.

As has already been mentioned in Werter's post, Kei'll be digging underground to the prison to bring on-foot people into the prison so they can help with the breakout.

EDIT: Forgot to mention... we should finally dust off Neo Getter Robo again!

Dibs on the Neo Getter! XD

8. Orbital attack
We drop Mr President in the Metal Wolf on the Adventus base from orbit, then pick out the prisoners from the rubble.
Potential problems: How do we get him there? There's a high chance our friends might get hurt too.

I realize that while it's no Shin, Neo Getter can fly fast enough to get Michael into Orbit for an Orbital Presidential bombardment with a payload full of JUSTICE....

So yeah. We know what Michael's going to be doing.

Prometheus is trying to get oil as we speak, so he can make himself slippery and squeeze through the bars. After that he can free some other people (I know that Eri at least has an escape plan too) and then run around the base on his own, causing havoc.

With Hayana the Bitch Haro at the base, Veda knows where she is, and via CB, can provide location. But I think that's all on that, unless someone can fathom why CB would do a rescue operation and not an Intervention

Someone inside will drop a blank CD face up so Ren can do Mirror World things.

[darknight-ren.livejournal.com]

...And that Mirror World thing is actually Darkwing emerging, with Ren telling every guard to run like HELL if they want to try not to get in the way of a very hungry monster who hasn't been fed in two weeks. Oops.

No, Ren did not plan this out very well.

Also, Scott and RPM are using the High Octane Megazord wherever they're needed, and we can always send in NPC Ziggy to teleport anything in (nonprecisely, since he's a derp) and NPC Dillon to beat the crap out of someone.

Huh...

Haruka is best placed in an area with plenty of explosions, gunfire, and general scary things. She will either be completely useless, or kill one Adventus person.

Roads just needs to get firearms; then he can go to town on people. The benefits of a motion-capture suit in action! For CR purposes, he should probably give Kazuki a crash course in the mysteries of the assault rifle.

Charles, being awesome, can supply prodigious amounts of firepower to everyone being rescued. IS is rather sketchy on the details, but she either has capacity for 20 weapons, or capacity for 20 kinds of weapons, with as many copies of individual kinds as she wants.

This means Charles has either 12 "free" spots for extra guns just to hand out to people, or 15 spots for different kinds of weapons, with a practically unlimited arsenal to hand out to people. Regardless, she can hand out anti-tank rifles and automatic shotguns like they're candy.

Sayla's not really an on-foot fighter. It's probably best that she ends up helping out Haman, though.

[possibly-here.livejournal.com]

Totally onboard with that. Also, if Aero's cool, wouldn't be opposed to Canon and Kazuki crossing paths on the battlefield as well.

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

As you all know, Dita's been planning this strike for ages. Details are in her post but here's the gist: 3 insertion teams at once, blow holes through it. Double and COFFRET in at least two to help guide the units in. Once out, we'll be firing flares.

That's when the main attack force swoops in. Super Vandread will be dealing with any major threats that involve turning people's power against him. Adventus didn't plan for the goddamn Pexis.

[saikyocivrobo]

Why do we attack after the prisoners are rescued? Is it just a counter-attack on Adventus, or is there another reason?

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

It was mostly to keep them busy while we buy time to get the prisoners as far as possible away from them.

[rightcyclone.livejournal.com]

As was mentioned, Philip and Shoutaro are passing information (btw, if you have information to pass back to the ship, please post to Philip's post so he can let Shoutaro know), although Shoutaro's the only one who can initiate the contact.

I am interested in more W-foreshadowing happening, too, if possible.

[rightcyclone.livejournal.com]

Oh, and hey, since Philip's looking stuff up... if I post the Keywords he's using, can I get the information he's getting back?

[srwuga_mods]

Sure. What do you ahve in mind?

[rightcyclone.livejournal.com]

Search 1: Adventus, Prison, Base

Search 2: Masterlock, electrical locks

Search 3: Project HALO, Lans Chretian

He's also looking up each of the generals, to try to learn about them. I know RGNK has, like, 8 books with 8 different names.

Those are the only ones he's tried so far.

[srwuga_mods]

Search 1: the base is located on an island with a sizable garrison. There's an armory located a few rooms away, but all the entrances require ID cards. There's also automated defenses, including internal guns, electrified floors, and laser grids.

Search 2: The locks are operated by a console at the end of the room. Two keycards are necessary to open the cell doors. Sufficient hotwiring, however, would get the doors open.

Search 3: Off limits!!! In fact, it's locked away the same way that looking up Phillip's past or Ryubee Sonozaki would be.

Regarding Jeremy: Here's the stuff I had for Ilka's snooping post

Zappa has pile ons for RGNK. LiwKey is the MC. Name was later changed.

Before the mission on Saturday, Shinji should make his big debut in spectacular style: appearing out of a reflective helmet that's shipped into Ren's cell! He'll make a pose of some kind, then go to retrieve the latter's deck.

Afterward, Dragreder should totally assist Darkwing in chaos and mayhem with Yoshika-one of the many captives-escaping along with the others sometime before the enemy makes their arrival. (Yoshika should be rescued by the 501st, with one of the girls having retrieved her Striker Unit before they go to assist with Search and Rescue.)

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

You can expect Tsukasa joining in on that fun with his own Dragredder.

Fate is going to be trying to get Bardiche back so she can actually put power into and/or cast her offensive spells. She will also be sticking with the group. She doesn't want to leave anyone behind unless back-up comes or they force her.

Tatsu will be sticking close to Dita in case she needs her for the Red Crab or the Super Vandread. She will be fighting in her usual crazed and almost feral style of attacking but will be especially careful in using her Breath Weapon out of fear of hurting her allies and the captives.

Seiren is working on the strike team to cause a good distraction so that the rescue team can get in and out with as little noticing them as possible. She will be using the Ellen Sonic to hit large mobs of mooks to cut down their numbers and aid her in drawing the attention away from the rescue team.

Azrad can't summon Aeon anymore (the last two are needed for his finale), so he should be helping anyone on foot, lending Scimitars and whatnot.

Nanoha gets her usual beamspam turret role, only she'll likely activate Excelion Mode for the first time here because she has to be serious to save Fate. She can go either on foot or against any mecha, but I'd prefer the former so she gets to reunite with her waifu.

Yuunagi is actually pretty useful for this mission, given that Straybird has absolute stealth and teleportation (why I've never sent him against the Caliban is really bugging Aero, I know). He can scout or make a really good distraction if needed.

Laura's best paired up with Charles. She has more close to middle range weapons with the Schwarzer Regen and can provide support for the Rafale Revive II Custom.

EDIT: There's something else I was supposed to mention...but I forgot what it was while I was typing this. All the above suggestions should be fine though.

[howling-alone.livejournal.com]

Alexei and PRIME are currently collaborating with the League of Ruling Corporations to summon the help of anyone in the Collared stable. Hopefully, the end result of this will be Ostdarva, Lillium Wolcott, Wynne D. Fanchion, and Roadie all arriving in their NEXT units. The plan, then, is to lead a small squadron to a weak wall in the Adventus base, then chain-fire Assault Armor until it breaks, allowing the prisoners to get out.

Failing that, Gundam Maxter and Chibodee could probably do the same thing on his own.

[wimpy-cure-ever.livejournal.com]

Let's see here. Let's get my guys and what they're gonna do out here.

Ryouma: As you see up there, Ryouma's gonna end up dragging the Metal Wolf into orbit with Neo Getter-2 and launching him at the base. He'll follow suit and join Kei in digging around underground.

Nanohana: For the moment, she'll be joining those on foot, intending on reuniting with Eri. At which Hana will do something ridiculous when they reunite that will force Eri to slap her.

Christine: Since the "Hanging Gardens" will be fixed by that time, she'll be bringing that out to help attack with the various mecha.

Kou and Roux... will probably do the same, honestly.

ETA: As for Gen, once he gets back Fourze Driver, I might just go ahead and have him introduce Elec States for this!

[judau-ashta.livejournal.com]

Judau...is useless. Yeah, he didn't get captured with a mobile suit, and is still getting used to Newtype powers. At best, he can play distraction, and odds are that will end with bruises/more bruises. Kinda need help here.

[emorangerpink]

So does the "joint breakout/rescue attempt" mean the part of Dita's plan involving three infiltration teams can go ahead? I just want to make sure Laura's got a part to play.

If so, do we have people signed up for all three teams?
