The mission It's Safe Now was completed successfully. With it, the plot of the Still Not Safe canon has concluded.

The mission log can be read here, here and here.

Important Notes
- Devon Kwan and Laura Ericks have fused with an SE and descended down to the Earth's core. They are MIA, presumed dead.
- Roger Dantoinne and all members of the Thoughts of Ascension have been killed. Likewise, the threat of possible return of the SEs has been stopped.
- The Tower and all the expedition members arrived back at White Chalice quickly thanks to a one-way portal. The portal is gone by now.
- Ancient aliens are jerks.

Damages
- Dita's Vanguard, Zeta Gundam, Super Gundam, G3-Saviour, Desu Ellen, Wahrheit and Fafner Mark Elf all suffered severe damage. It will take 14 days to repair all of them fully.
- Neo Getter, Rushbird and the Tower suffered moderate armor and structural damage. It will take 7 days to repair them fully.

The mission It's Safe Now will be taking place tomorrow (Monday) at 6 PM Central time.

It's Safe Now

A snake-like creature has been spotted hovering over Atlas Mountains in Africa. The coordinates match those given by Sage on his deathbed.
White Chalice sends a force that races against the time to reach the remote location. Roger Dantoinne must be stopped.

Canon: Still Not Safe (CANON FINALE)
Characters: Devon Kwan, Laura Ericks, any 6 pilots
Type: Semi-spontaneous.
Setting: Mountains.
Schedule: This mission will take place some on Monday, May 14th, at 6 PM CST. To sign up for this mission, please reply with the appropriate journal below. If you participated in the scheduling and that's too early for you, let me know ASAP.
Note: This mission will happen far away from White Chalice's location at that point. Mid-fight reinforcements might not be available.

The mission Knightly Dealings was tentatively a success, but only in the sense the pilots succeeded in defeating the people we set out to.  Otherwise, it was a failure, capstoned by the loss of one of our own.

The mission log can be read here and here.

Important Notes:
- Frank Symes suffered fatal injuries while in the line of duty, defending Laura Ericks and his fellow comrades before ultimately succumbing to them.
- The group thought to be the Thoughts of Ascension led by Albion was revealed to be a splinter group by the main group's leader: Roger Dantoinne.
- On a related subject, the SE control crystal was delivered to Roger by Laura following the activation of a trigger phrase.  The programming was only deep enough for a single command though, and Ayame and Maxene have assured everyone that on further psychological screening there are no other commands waiting to be triggered.
- Dr. Jul has made it abundantly clear that he wishes to have Tatsu and the Fury Mk. III.  However, the Fury's also been shown to be immune to the AI corruption virus that Jul's used in the past thanks to the Imprinting Program.

Damages:
- The Reinheit was severely damaged and in fact nearly punched in half, as well as losing its head and taking severe damage to its arm.  It'll take the mechanics roughly sixteen days to fully repair it.
- Desu Itsuki suffered some damage to its body and severely drained its reactor, with the more sensitive and fragile systems on the machine ruined.  It will be repaired in approximately six days.
- The Fury Mk. III has similarly been torn up, most notably its head and legs, along with some of the internal systems.  It will be repaired in another thirteen days.
- The Ymir's shields have been pierced, warped, and smashed, and the machine itself has suffered a few hard knocks and will require two days to repair.  The Jotunn went by with less harm, but still had some systems damaged by Sage's screams and will require another day to get them repaired.
- Devon was stabbed by Quicksilver, although nonfatally  She's already been healed for the most part by Laura, and will be fine in another day or two.
- Everyone might have some freaky nightmares due to Sage's screams in the immediate future.  How badly it shakes anyone up probably depends on how desensitized to that sort of thing.  Azrad took the worst of it though, and no matter how familiar he might be with eldritch monstrosities his sense of balance is still going to be messed up and he could probably do well to take it easy for a few days.

[What's this, another message being sent to the Chalice?  But the figure being shown in it is just someone in a rather feminine suit of armor, it's that woman from the fight in the desert!]

Chalice, this has been something I've been putting off for far too long.  When last we battled things were left unresolved due to the Federation and it's a blight on my history to leave a battle without settling things decisively.  I wish to amend that finally, and also settle things between us in one final battle.  I am tired of this feud, and in the event we win, I want the Chalice to cease activities against us.

And in return, if you win...

[And at that the figure holds up a hand, revealing that it is holding a fist-sized Sophium Crystal; pure and without flaw.]

This crystal is our most precious belonging, capable of controlling Shifting Entities.  Without it, we would be nothing...

...  And if you win, I give you my word it shall be yours.

To ensure no forces intervene with this battle, my followers and I have staked out a ruined city in Japan; the coordinates will be forwarded to you  There you'll find us, and we shall have our battle.



Huh.  So they're on the level?  That thing is valuable?



Indeed it be.



Well that's great!  We were gonna be swinging by NERV anyways to drop off that weird crazy blonde girl from before anyways!

The mission "Sophium Raid" was technically a failure, although the White Chalice's efforts were not entirely in vain.

The complete mission log can be read here and here.

Important notes:
- Due to arriving before the White Chalice, the Thoughts of Ascension were able to successfully steal the vast majority of the Sophium.  The White Chalice has not yet been contacted again by Roger Dantoinne.
- The Blue Frame, Bellzelute, and Prometheus all suffered damage of some degree or another.  However, all three can still function properly and repairs will not take too long.
- Herb Montgomery and Epimetheus, after a deal of confusion when he first appeared have joined the crew.
- On that note, Epimetheus has taken severe damage across its entire body.  It is unknown how long it will take to repair, but it'll defenintely be a while.
- Although much of the colony's population was killed, the White Chalice's pilots were able to save the lives of those that were to be forced into being Shifters by the order.  They are immensely grateful, and relief effort from neighboring colonies is already coming in.
- The White Chalice has recovered a GINN mobile suit customized to enable use by Naturals.  We would have had three, but Werter had to smash apart the first two.  Thanks, Werter.

Because I'm a total idiot who didn't check what Zappa was doing this upcoming week

With a Sophium refining plant under attack, Roger Dantoinne urges that the White Chalice intervene and stop the bandits.  However, with the threat of deadly, new Elementals looming and a man eager to defeat Werter in battle, can the crew prevail?
