The mission Casualties of Ambition was completed successfully, though at a steep cost.

The complete log can be read here.

Important Notes:
- With the death of Paptimus Scirroco, the Titans' ranks are in absolute disarray.  However, there's been talks of restructuring the organization from the grounds up and rebranding it the "A-LAWS".  No word on who would take command of this sinking ship just yet.
- The skirmish between the loyalist and renegade Axis Zeon forces ended with minimal casualties and have been stripped of their rank and status.  In spite of this, early in the battle Haman Karn's Quebeley was nearly destroyed when caught in a nearly "perfect storm" of crossfire.  Though the Chancilor survived, she is currently in critical -but stable- condition.  In the wake of this, it was Admiral Glemmy Toto who managed to regroup the loyalist forces and press the offensive, and ultimately accept the surrender of the renegade forces.
- In light of both the decimation of Axis Zeon's command structure and his conduct during the battle against renegade Zeon forces, Admiral Toto was also elected acting leader of Axis Zeon until the Chancellor is fully recovered.
- The Inspectors attempted to steal the Mobile Doll system for themselves, but we managed to repel Mekibos and his forces.
- Thanks to Patrick, the colony was diverted towards Fuso where it was easily disposed of by Mondenkinds iDOLs.  Just another routine smashing for them.
- Thanks to Roux and also Patrick, we have secured the crucial hardware necessary for the Mobile Doll System.  Plans are being drafted up to make use of it to eradicate the Festum, and it was decided that the System can only be used provided the leader of each faction input an activation key.  This way, nobody will be able to abuse the System for their own gain.
- For that matter, the Mobile Doll System's turned out to be far, far more obtuse and digitally cumbersome than anyone thought previously.  Even a high-end AI like Allie would be unable to operate it efficiently, if at all.

Damages:
- Between charging head-first into Mekibos's Thunder Crash and the Biosensor overload, the Zeta Gundam is pretty much a big paperweight at this point.  None of the systems in it are operable and the machine will need an entire month to be operational again.
- On a related note, Kamille Bidan got a pretty bad psionic haymaker courtesy of Scirroco in his dying moments.  He was taken onboard an Axis Zeon warship for emergency care and has since been transferred back to the Chalice.  He's completely catatonic, but Ayame and Maxene have confirmed his thought waves aren't completely extinguished and they're confident they can bring him back.  Ayame also commented "and if not, it's still practice for helping Vlaska".
- Everyone else's machines have suffered severe damage on account of Mekibos's Thunder Crash and other damage during battle and will need two weeks for repairs.

Heh.  Axis.

[A lone figure sets at a table, a half-full glass in hand.  The moment was finally at hand.  The moment he'd been working towards all this time...]

A toast.

[The grin grows into a full-fledged smile.  He's had to endure much to get to this point.  But now it's come.]

A toast to zealots and the things that they do in the name of loyalty.  And in turn, what they let me do in the name of "necessity".

_

[It's late at night, and the Chalice is once again in space.  Stuff to deal with regarding the Wiedergburt Infection and all that.  But Bian's got an emergency call... and it's for something else.]



Chalice.  This is Bian.  We've got a situation.



You mean on top of the Infection?



Yes.

It's Axis.  Someone blew a chunk of it to bits.  It's still in one piece though and it was mostly upper brass that got killed off...

... But as you can imagine, all hell's broke loose.  Random cells and members of it are crying bloody murder, and a few of our friends have passed along that they've hijacked a colony.  Considering the fact that the Red Comet and the Chancilor are on your ship though, I doubt any official order was given.



I'd hope not.  And it doesn't make much difference either way.  A bunch of angry spacenoids have their hands on a colony and it doesn't take many guesses to know what they plan on doing with it.

Colliding War Zones

At long last karma finally catches up to the Titans, as an oversight hearing is conducted that may dissolve the organization.  But this is the moment many individuals have been waiting for, with vengeance on their minds.  And as war breaks out anew, the Chalice will be caught in the middle, fighting just to survive.

Canon: Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam 0083
Characters: Kou Uraki, Kamille Bidan, any four pilots
Type: Semi-planned.  We'll know about going, but we won't be expecting a fight.
Setting: In space meeting up with the Federation fleet
Schedule: This mission will take place Sunday at 7:30 PM Central time.  If you would like to participate, please post below.

The mission Colliding War Zones was technically successful, considering our pilots were able to escape with their lives, but overall our current situation has worsened considerably.

The mission log can be read here and here.

Important Notes:

( Under the cut because SO MANY NOTES )

Damages:
- Desu Itsuki got its hand wrecked by a beam saber attack.  It should be fine in another four days though.
- The Hyaku Shiki got wrecked.  Again.   It's going to take another two weeks to repair the damage done to it, but Char could use the rest anyways.
- The Zeta Gundam got its arm blown off at the shoulder and its replacement head was blown off.  It'll need another week after this to get repaired.
- Gundam GP-00 suffered a few hard knocks and its sensors are damaged due to vulcan fire.  Oh, and its beam rifle is STILL recharging after its last shot.  It'll take another day or two to be repaired.
- King Gainer lost its legs to Mega Particle Cannon fire.  It'll take another week to get them repaired.
- The Dominator's suffered another bad drain on its energy and its cockpit's taken some hits as well.  It'll take another week to be repaired.
- Gundam GP-01's top and bottom components have weathered some damage.  This isn't going to bee too problamatic.  What *is* is building a replacement Core Fighter for it, which will take the better part of two weeks.
- Haman's Quebeley's lost its funnels again.  It's also suffered some bad burns and had its shoulder shells blown off by beam cannon fire.  It'll be repaired in another week or so though.
- Mobius One's Cosmograsper's suffered damage to its fuselage and its main beam cannon has been smashed up pretty badly.  It's going to take another ten days to repair.

[It's been a long time since Blex's dropped the Chalice a line, but the man seems to be in very high spirits in the message sent!]

Captain Smith-!



GAH!  THE TALKING PICTURE KNOWS MY NAME!



[Cue Ayame keeping the man from destroying the screen with a can opener.]

... Captain, why don't you just leave this to me?  And... put that back where you found it.

[And she turns back to Blex, looking curious.]

You seem like you're in a good mood.  I take it that the Titans-



Yes.  The Federation's calling a hearing in space which may put the group out of action for good.  Their ties to Adventus, their violation of rules of engagement, the incident at Anaheim... it's finally caught up with them.  I've been called to serve as a witness and account for Karaba's side of the story, but I'm going to need an escort.  If you could-



We'll see you in space soon enough sir.  Gigafloat'll see to that.

The mission Titanic Ambush was a success, albeit not without a price.

The complete mission log can be read here and here.

Important Notes:
- Though the colony drop was somewhat averted, the resulting shockwaves from the impact have devastated Anaheim's facility on the moon.  Between the loss of irreplaceable data, test models, and other critical equipment, it's estimated they won't be producing much of anything for the better part of this year.
- The digital recordings of the battle are rather screwy, due to the presence of the spiny Id Beast that wrecked havoc on cameras and the like.
- There's a new crater on the moon
- The repairs and refit for Gundam GP-01 were regrettably put on hold due to the colony drop, and currently Anaheim's facilities are such that repairs would be very difficult to do.  However, the Gundam and the necessary parts have been transferred to the White Chalice, where our own mechanics can finish the job.  The estimate is about three weeks.
- In the meantime, Anaheim has also supplied us with Gundam GP-00 Blossom, one of the few pieces of hardware not completely destroyed in the battle.

Damages:
- The Hyaku Shiki took a beam saber to the chest and also had its legs completely blown apart during the battle.  It'll take about three weeks to get the machine operational again.
- The Quebely's lost an arm and a leg, and its funnel pod has also been damaged.  The battle saw most of its funnels destroyed as well.  It's going to take another two and a half weeks to get repaired
- Azrad's severely damaged his body through using up most of his magical reserves.  He's a total wreck, but he insists he'll get better soon enough.
- Lily Rain's suffered some damage as well defending a thruster from the Psyco Gundam, but should be fine in another week.
- The new Zeta Gundam; probably the last thing Anaheim will be rolling out any time soon, took a bit of a beating but should be fine in another three-ish days.
- The Gundam Mk. III lost an arm and its shield, but should be okay in another week.
-The Blue Frame lost its head.  It'll be repaired in another day or two.

The mission Titanic Ambush is going to be held today in a little more than 14 and a half hours.

Lineup:
Azrad
Gai Murakumo
Kamille Bidan
Lily Rain
Roads Blackwell
Roux Louka

EDIT: We're all filled up, but backup's always welcome.

EDIT THE SECOND: Decided to make this an eight-man mission because of the size.  Anyone who wants in can post.

Well that was quick.  Backup's still welcome.

[Hey, look who's making a call!]

Chalice!  When I'd heard you were in the neighborhood only to head off to Mars at Nergal's request, I cursed my own inability to get to you sooner, if only to better equip you  for the trip!  That's all in the past now, and how you got back from the red planet so soon, I don't care either way.

At any rate, I'm at Anaheim right now, and they say they have a few things for you, including a new Gundam and some parts for the GP-01, as well as a package left behind by a Dr...

[He pauses, looking at a sheet in his hands.]

Reinhardt?

Not only that, but there's some general supplies a few Karaba cells are hurting for, and with the Titans tying the knot with Adventus, that's practically a death sentence.

Now, I'd like to say we'd be stoppin by DOLLYWOOD on the way, butcha know somebody had to replace it with some crazy ol kingdom done shown up in it's place.

Dan: I think you're talking about Disneyland.

Smith: Boy, don't you start lecurin me on what theme parts is and ain't where!  Why I remember when my daddy took me...

Look, anyway, we gotta drop off their prince or somethin there too, so, git stockin up there while you can.  I ain't stoppin the ship in Bermuda for fishin.  I ain't about to lose this ship there too.  Yanno, boats an the like've been disappearin around there for ages.





Four Cinderallas

At the behest of Monderkind, the White Chalice swings by a volcano in Bermuda to recover a newly-discovered Idol Core.  However, they are not the only ones after the Core, as both the Titans and an old enemy from San Fransisco arrive, turning the mission into a three-way struggle.

The Fall of Fanelia

Dropping off the Prince of Fanelia turns from a wonderful coronation of a new king, to an utter disaster; and guess who just happens to be around for ringside seats? A ceremony becomes a slaughter and it's on the Chalice to save the day, once again.

Canon: Visions of Escaflowne, Mai-Otome, Cosmic Break

NOTE THE SECOND: In the event that a date cannot be agreed on for all necessary combatants, this mission may be trimmed down.

The mission It's... a Gundam! has been labelled by Dan as a success.

You can read the full log of the mission here.

Important Notes:
- Large portions of the college and surrounding commercial and residential district of Rauha were damaged. There was also minor damage to the outer hull in the same area.
- Though the Gundam was encased in colony resealant, it was removed from the wall of the colony pending repairs.
- Two Gundam Mk IIs, Gundam Freya and THE Gundam have been graciously added to the White Chalice crew. (It's a Gundam indeed).
- The White Chalice has a number of space centric supplies ranging from extra oxygen to crappy vacuum sealed food. Yeah, dinner's not gonna be that great anytime soon.
- Amazingly! Not a single unit was significantly damaged! (I must be losing my touch... this was a Gundam opening mission after all)!

It's... a Gundam!

The White Chalice docks at a colony for supplies, only to find that said colony has more than a few secrets which are about to come to fruition...
