Yeah, it was the world's most open secret that I, Hedge, was gonna app another clanner. This here's Nikolai Djerassi, (from Field Manual: Warden Clans) ex-Khan of Clan Goliath Scorpion, called out of a comfortable retirement teaching sibko brats to find the Wolves. Which they did! And now they're here.

Some fun facts about him and his Clan:

-They have a 'Sempai is so cool!' crush on the Wolves, who barely notice their existence.

-He appears in his later 30s-40s but is actually almost 60

-Sometimes they like to drink a chemical derived from their totem's venom which they claim gives them accurate visions

-He's probably one of the best teachers in the Clans, a culture which otherwise generally adheres to the "Yell at them a lot then throw them into the deep end" school of pedagogy.

-He collects antiques!

-Some of their Warriors go off to become archeologist knight-errants called Seekers.

-He's an expert in hand to hand combat, perhaps to make up for his being smaller than most Elementals (hence the screenname)

More info can be found on his app and info on the strength of the Scorpions who made it into UG@!Earth can be found here

Mission: "The Day We Become Shooting Stars" scheduling post

The Day We Become Shooting Stars

Just as the Chalice is recouping from the Inspectors' attack, the Jupiter Empire finally shows its intent to the world by threatening full-scale nuclear destruction!  It's going to take a herculean effort to deal with this threat, let alone get back into space with the Chalice damaged!


Canon: Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam
Characters: Tobia Arronax, Zabine Chareux, Kincaid Nau (tentatively), any six pilots
Type: Planned
Setting: Mostly space
Schedule: Here's the doozy folks.  Barring Monday and Tuesday, I work every evening this upcoming week.  Monday would give me no time for prep or scheduling, and Tuesday's a no-go with Eric and isn't much better, prep-wise.  So instead, we'll be scheduling for next week, between Sunday the 23rd and Saturday the 29th.  Please post your best available times for those dates below if you would like to participate.  I'm aware some people don't know if they'll have any of those days free yet, but just put them down when you can.

Post-Inspectors log status update

White Chalice status

-We were attacked by Inspectors. They engaged forces both outside and inside the Chalice, but it was all just a smokescreen to provide cover for their real target - the Mobile Doll System!
-Unfortunately, the Mobile Doll System has been destroyed.
-White Chalice itself sustained moderate damage. It can move but we should at least patch the hull holes first before going to space.
-We learnt of the Inspectors' names: Aguija, Sikalog, Mekibos, Vigagi and their previously-unseen leader, Wendolo.
-Mekibos and his Graterkin were destroyed in action. Other Inspector machines retreated in various states of damage.
-Following White Chalice units suffered serious damage during the attack:
Gundam 00
White Zeta Gundam
Rushbird
Fu Xi
Power Loader (Completely destroyed, but Astray Red Frame is mostly fine)
Zaku II F2 type (one of them, probably not worth repairing)

Mission "The Sicilian Defense" debrief

[srwuga_mods]

The mission The Sicilian Defense was a much-needed success after the recent events.

The mission log can be read here.

Important Notes:
- The recovered Words of Blake data is being decrypted, It will take some time, but from parts we already deciphered indicate that at least one truck may have escaped before our arrival at the facility.
- With all the Blakist and Desperado forces escaped or destroyed, we were free to salvage what little resources were left at the base. Clan Wolf Elementals blew up facility afterwards.
- Nikolai Djerassi and some of his fellow Clan Goliath Scorpion members joined White Chalice.
- Neptune finally unlocked her Purple Heart form again.

Damages:
Nothing notable.
