All I Want for Christmas Is ARMAGEDDON!

As the year winds down, the festivities are in full swing, and so is the power of Christmas Spirit.  But like any remarkable force that can be used for good, in the wrong hands even Christmas Spirit can be be used to achieve diabolical means, as one maniacal scientist is determined to prove!

Canon: Christmas
Characters: Any eight pilots
Type: Unplanned Planned, but not yet.
Setting: A city in Orb
Schedule: This mission can happen Sunday, December 22nd at 7:30 PM Central time.  If you would like to participate, please post below.

[It's discussion time... with Ayame talking with some Clanner woman about some random Bad Thing going on.  And Ayame's being, well...]



So... just to double check, this fighting force that is "two galaxies' worth" is over nine hundred mechs, or comparable fighting power in terms of support craft and infantry, yes?

[The woman on the other end nods.]

Aff.  Our chief concern though is recovering the CJF Nicholas Kerensky from the Jade Falcons.  If we can fight to the center of the ship-

[And at that Ayame shakes her head.]

I'm sorry, but it's not our place to complete ignore an entire army trying to drop in on the Earth itself.   The good news is though, we can get your ship back for you just fine, and it'll be easier than you think...

Okay then everyone.

Apparently the Jade Falcons are in the mood to take their not-so-little war to Clan Wolf with as much as they can have, even smashing through a few colonial security ships along the way.  They're planning on inserting an army "two galaxies" strong -it's big, but not excessively so- and honestly, I'd rather we try to nip this as much in the bud as possible.

We're going to be running a false flag operation: while the Jade Falcons try to angle their ships to keep the Chalice from getting in close, we'll sneak in a small fighting force around the side with the intent of taking down as many of their dropships as possible.  The more we kill while they're in space, the fewer everyone has to worry about on the surface.

The Falcons are also using a ship they stole from Clan Wolf, called the Nicholas Kerensky, for this little operation.  The Wolves want them back, and getting it back would give us even more firepower to shoot those dropships out of the sky with too.  And fortunately, since the Wolves made the thing, they also know about security backdoors in the ship systems that the Falcons haven't figured out yet.  Backdoors we'll be able to exploit to take back control with minimal effort, at least with the right hacking software.

All in all, should be fairly open-and-shut, and at the very least we'll disrupt the Falcon's efforts enough for them to lose any advantage this attack would've given.

The Dormouse

Breaking through a weak point in colonial defenses, several Jade Falcon warships arrive at Earth, intending to transport an army onto the surface with the intent on launching a full-scale assault on Clan Wolf!  Far be it from us to let that happen though, to say nothing of taking back something the Falcons stole either...
