The mission

Important notes:
- The Federation base at Freetown has been nearly destroyed. The injured are being loaded into the still-functioning ships and heading towards the closest Federation base in the North. The still-able bodied pilots, however, are being stationed on the White Chalice for the time being.
- ... Because, for the time being, the White Chalice will attempt to pursue Anavel Gato and the GP-02 across Africa in the hopes of recovering the Gundam and its nuclear payload. The Gundam was last seen heading Northeast by East. In exchange for this, the Federation has graciously compensated the Chalice with sufficient Federal currency.
- As such, Kou Uraki, Canon Memphis, and Christna Mackenzie have been brought onboard the Chalice for the time being
- The Kampfer was recovered, though its cockpit block is completely destroyed.
Damages:
- Metal Wolf lost a leg in the craziness. Thankfully the small size means it'll be back in working order in just a few days
- Gundam Alex suffered minimal damage, but its optional Chobham Armor has been completely destroyed. An entire new set will have to be made, which will take several weeks.
- Gundam GP-01 lost its head and has taken a number of rough bumps and bruises. It'll take about four days for a replacement head to be attached.
- The Wahreit took some superficial burns but is otherwise fine. It'll be back up to 100% in a day or two
- Char Aznable was shot three times in the chest, one of the bullets passing through while another stopped after breaching a lung and the third was was stopped after embedding in one of his ribs. Although his life's been saved through the combined efforts of Maxene, Ayame, and the other doctors on the ship, the damage is severe, and the road to a full recovery will be long. It will take two weeks before Char can stay on his feet for more than a few hours a day, another week before he is off of bedrest, and he will not be able to pilot until after a month, starting today. He will also have to undergo regular physical therapy for the next three months.
- Nanoha Takamachi and Fate Testarossa have nearly completely exhausted their magical reserves and their Devices have been strained to the breaking point and are inoperable without serious repairs. However, the Devices have requested that the parts necessary for the Cartridge System be included in the repairs and in fact are refusing to re-activate until the parts are built in. The TSAB is currently working on supplying the parts to the White Chalice, and the repairs should begin by the end of the week.
