[07:38:11] 2Lt. Sarah: (( rofl ))
[07:38:20] Capt Kain Crockett: If an orange is orange, why isn't a lime called a green or a lemon called a yellow?

[07:39:15] GM: why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

[07:39:23] Capt Kain Crockett: If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?
[07:39:29] GM: why do we sit in a waiting room, and wait ina sitting room?
[07:39:38] 1st Lt. Vittoria Silver: lol

[07:40:55] GM: if the speed of light is 299 792 458 m / s, whats the speed of dark?
[07:41:42] Capt Kain Crockett: As darkness is just an absense of light, it is the same speed as the light leaves the area and becomes dark.

[07:42:13] GM: keke
[07:42:15] GM: anyway
[07:42:25] Capt Kain Crockett: Do you have the three hours for me to explain it?
[07:42:31] GM: any game related questions?
[07:43:33] Capt Kain Crockett: I figured me asking silly questions was a resounding no… However, just for grins and giggles: We are IN the tube, not on our way there?
[07:43:46] GM: If Dr Sheldon Cooper is incapable of fathoming sarcasm, and grey areas of human interaction, why is he a fan of Game of Thrones?

[07:47:10] 1st Lt. Vittoria Silver: set ^_^
[07:47:21] 2Lt. Sarah: dug them out of mothballs, fueled them, and took them out. We're not in them now, but they'r our 'escape'

[09:29:20] Cpt. Aylanea reloads her M90 as well, checking it after.
[09:29:51] GM: You all react witha cringe as 'LOUD!' alpha flys right over you at tree top level.
[09:30:20] Cpt. Aylanea yeeps.

[09:33:13] Cpt. Aylanea: (( I'll assume we collect our own alphas first ))

[09:34:47] GM: grr bite bite
[09:34:48] 1st Lt. Vittoria Silver: lol
[09:35:35] GM: okay, after action, all yall took some hits, so you are all sore and stuff, free RP
[09:36:02] Lt. Melanie McGregor sits down at her still and starts brewing. [1d100] => [18] = (18) vs 44
[09:36:29] Capt Kain Crockett: "What is that contraption McGregor is working at?"
[09:36:53] 2Lt. Sarah looks down at the ground mostly, glancing up at the question. "Not sure."
[09:37:24] WO Febrith Nyx: "Almost looks like a do-it-yourself reflex furnace."
[09:37:55] 1st Lt. Vittoria Silver breaks out her liqure stash and meets up with the others in the common area with some glasses and a few bottles of bourbon cigeret in mouth " pounded by invid, not exactly my shot of whisky but whatever floats your boat, drinks anyone? "
[09:38:19] 1st Lt. Vittoria Silver: or wherever that may be :P
[09:40:57] 2Lt. Sarah: (( hehe ))
[09:42:53] 2Lt. Sarah goes back to looking down and thinking after answering. "Kinda worrying that I couldn't get us out of there, though. If they can block that, hope they can't block anything else as well. Can't start thinking like that, but…" She frowns.
[09:44:38] Lt. Melanie McGregor: "Give it an hour, and you'll have a brew that makes that look like watered down piss."
[09:47:07] Capt Kain Crockett: "It just means they have countermeasures for the Regess."
[09:47:11] 1st Lt. Vittoria Silver: " I could care less what im drinking so long as it keeps me loose" setting everything on the table and flopping down in a nearby couch with a bottle to herself " what happened down there anyway. your all looking a little rough"
[09:48:29] 2Lt. Sarah: "I'd think she might be able to power through that, actually. I can't though." She sighs. "And overloading the reactor gave my existence away, of course…" She frowns.
[09:50:48] WO Febrith Nyx: "We got nearly fed to a primate with mech armor and a plasma cannon."
[09:50:51] 2Lt. Sarah quickly checks to see what all was brought back from the labs, in case she needs to translate more of it.
[09:52:51] WO Febrith Nyx: "Speaking of crazy science experiments. When you get those translations done, I want to try and figure them out."
[09:53:42] 1st Lt. Vittoria Silver: " Well now that sounds entertaining… im sure theres a bartender somewhere in this joke? " drinking a little setting it down " always wondered what the inside of those places was like "
[09:56:05] GM: After a few moments, the XO of the ship pops in to get your inital report
[09:56:41] Capt Kain Crockett gives the readers digest verbally, and offer the war and peace edition in "paperwork".
[09:57:03] GM: fair enough
[09:58:21] XO: Well, that sounds…bad. I'll pass that along to the skipper. Get yourselves cleaned up and then report to the bridge, I'd wear your CVR, I have a feeling we'll be at combat alert by the time you show up.
[09:58:37] 1st Lt. Vittoria Silver: " well now good thing i brought enough for us all to bury todays memory
[09:59:04] 1st Lt. Vittoria Silver sighs " or not "
[09:59:25] Capt Kain Crockett: "Affirmative."
[10:00:31] 1st Lt. Vittoria Silver heads back to her room to change back over and meets up with everyone at the bridge
[10:01:49] WO Febrith Nyx gets showered up and puts on the CVR and heads to the bridge.
[10:02:05] Capt Kain Crockett takes a quick shower before putting CVR on.
[10:03:11] 2Lt. Sarah gets a shower and gets her CVR on as well.
[10:03:44] Cpt. Aylanea tosses her s on with a grump after her own shower.
[10:03:52] XO: When you get to the bridge, the ship is indeed on combat alert. You can see on the central plot the location of the Pit as well as a parabolic course layed out. You also take note of the gunnery teams zero basing their equipment and priming their weapons systems.
[10:06:51] 2Lt. Sarah watches interestedly.
[10:07:36] Capt Kain Crockett: "We poked the hornet's nest."
[10:07:48] 2Lt. Sarah sighs. "Great."
[10:08:41] XO: It's to critical a target to pass up, and if what you saw is present, it needs to be taken out.
[10:09:03] XO: The rub is, we aren't a bombard…
[10:09:12] 2Lt. Sarah nods at that.
[10:09:17] Capt Kain Crockett: "Agreed sir, but I wish we had more fire power."
[10:09:25] 1st Lt. Vittoria Silver: " well that eliminates that thought "
[10:09:50] XO: So, thats why the Skipper wants you to get with guns and plot out a spread that will be most effective in taking that pit, out.
[10:11:12] Capt Kain Crockett: ((get with guns? Man guns on the ship? Get some big guns out of storage and fly out with the veritechs? Tell them to aim for the spot that tube was?))
[10:11:45] WO Febrith Nyx passes along her navigation data from earlier. "Aim for the tube we escaped from."
[10:11:52] 2Lt. Sarah: (( tell the gunnery crews where all to shoot, to take the whole pit rather than making one hole and leaving most intact. ))
[10:12:04] 2Lt. Sarah: (( I'd think ))
[10:12:11] 2Lt. Sarah: (( since making one hole would just let stuff get loose ))
[10:13:14] 2Lt. Sarah passes along whatever she can on the dimensions of it, and the setup [1d100] => [97] = (97) vs. 86% lore invid (general setup and what was there from what was seen, and such)
[10:13:25] 2Lt. Sarah: (( and yes, you know I'll fail a roll on that ))
[10:13:32] XO: (('Guns' = TO = Tactical Officer))
[10:15:03] 1st Lt. Vittoria Silver: " seems like nothing allot of Napalm cant fix, have ground crews on standby for mop up of anything that gets loose " speaking half to herself looking over the images
[10:15:06] XO: spectacularly so at that CSarah
[10:15:18] 2Lt. Sarah: (( yeah no shit ))
[10:15:19] 2Lt. Sarah: (( :p ))
[10:16:03] XO: ((Vitt, you would need about 3 Ikazuchi worth of troops to 'mop up a hive' you have a single Garfish
[10:16:45] 1st Lt. Vittoria Silver: (( talking about cracking the shell and just bombing it non stop, shouldnt be that much getting out… well getting out and getting far ))
[10:16:53] Capt Kain Crockett: "Tactical Officer, what information do you need to strike the target?"
[10:18:11] 2Lt. Sarah: (( hehehe ))
[10:19:22] 2Lt. Sarah: (( brb gonna check somethin for parent.
))
[10:19:23] UEF Lt.: Well, we have some Reflex rounds, anti ship rounds, so, they arent designed for bunker busting. Sufrace or air burst only. Anyway, sorry, well, any weak points in the Pit, or targets that could give us good secondaries.
[10:19:31] 1st Lt. Vittoria Silver: (( be allot of plasma heat ordenance though lol ))
[10:20:09] 1st Lt. Vittoria Silver: (( ah ))
[10:22:07] Capt Kain Crockett offers what infomation he can, including the tube. [1d100] => [10] = (10) vs 71 Intelligence
[10:23:07] Cpt. Aylanea offers up anything she can as well. [1d100] => [72] = (72) vs. 84% intelligence
[10:24:09] WO Febrith Nyx continues providing what details she can. [1d100] => [7] = (7) vs 63 Intelligence
[10:25:13] 2Lt. Sarah works on combining the information into a workable way to get rid of the Pit. [1d100] => [18] = (18) vs. 99% tactics, [1d100] => [80] = (80) vs. 69% fleet tactics
[10:25:23] Lt. Melanie McGregor makes what comments she can about the structure. [1d100] => [51] = (51) vs 84 Fortification, [1d100] => [42] = (42) vs 74 Mechanical Engineer, [1d100] => [100] = (100) vs 89 Protoculture Engineer
[10:26:40] GM: Okay, you come up with a odd plan, but it just might work. First thing is to block up the way you entered. Then the ship with target a series of tubes tops with cannons, blowing the covers off, then reflex warheads will be fired into them, with a follow on volley of plasma to seal the tubes afterwards. The hope being, with ten or so bukes inside the pit going off, with any places where the overpressure could escape blocked off, that the inside of the pit will be come a baloon filled to bursting.
[10:27:38] GM: Even if the roof doesnt get blown off, the overpressure should weaken the structure so that it will collapse…
[10:28:05] GM: Plus it keep fallout to a minimum which will make environmental happy…./sarcasm
[10:28:41] GM: if there are amendments or addons to that let me know
[10:28:56] GM: of if my technobabble sciance is flawed…
[10:30:15] 2Lt. Sarah: (( meh, sounds okay to me ^_^ ))
[10:31:16] GM: [1d100] => [32] = (32)
[10:31:20] GM: Success!
[10:31:43] Lt. Melanie McGregor: ((well, really…))
[10:31:58] GM: here we go…
[10:32:03] 2Lt. Sarah: (( lol ))
[10:32:04] GM: keke
[10:32:20] Lt. Melanie McGregor: ((why are we blocking up the tube we came in?))
[10:32:37] Lt. Melanie McGregor: ((if we're just going to pop it open again?))
[10:33:21] GM: (the way you came in was the tunnle
[10:33:34] GM: with that shield blocking it
[10:33:40] GM: i.e. the land way in
[10:33:48] GM: anyway
[10:34:13] Lt. Melanie McGregor: ((ah.))
[10:34:55] GM: You initial your fire plan and sit back and enjoy the show. The plan goes off without a hitch…almost. The pit 'roof' buldges, a few gouts of flame erupt and then the whole thing collapses crushing and burying all inside. Except for the hive, which, as the dust settles can be seen lifting off, it's shields shimmering.
[10:36:26] GM: It raises about 50 miles into the air, and kind of makes a half turn (it's a rough speheoid shape (think biological borg sphere)) as the Garfish moves to intercept. Then the thing folds away.
[10:37:17] GM: Carrie, your invidy sences pick up something just as it disapperars. If you werent sure, you'd think it was laughter.
[10:37:26] GM: Sarah rather.
[10:37:31] Capt Kain Crockett: "Flying hives…"
[10:38:44] 2Lt. Sarah just…. stares at that. "The heck… And it almost sounded like someone laughing…" She scowls. "Flying hives that fold. That's… new."
[10:40:14] 2Lt. Sarah: "This… is very bad."
[10:40:51] XO: I'll say..I think we can assume that all the tech data on those creatures you saw left with it too.
[10:41:19] WO Febrith Nyx: "Beware the swarm."
[10:41:35] 2Lt. Sarah glances at Nyx and rolls her eyes. "Yes, I've seen that game."
[10:41:42] WO Febrith Nyx: "I fully expect to be hearing 'kekekekekekeke' the next time we are attacked."
[10:42:23] GM: I'll call it here (seems a good stop point) Free RP if you wish.
[10:43:26] 2Lt. Sarah: "Guess we'd better debug the Yamato cannons, or find a ship with the older kind."
[10:44:16] Capt Kain Crockett: "How about we find ten with the older kind, and fuse them together to point in different directions?
[10:44:28] 2Lt. Sarah snickers.
[10:44:41] Lt. Melanie McGregor: "It'd be less expensive just to turret mount one…"
[10:46:03] 2Lt. Sarah: "I'm not sure if the older design allows for it even."
[10:49:53] Lt. Melanie McGregor: "Not designed for it, no. It would still be easier and cheaper to redesign them so they could than try to mount ten on one craft."
[10:49:53] 2Lt. Sarah: "Does it?"
[10:50:01] 2Lt. Sarah nods a little. "Point."
[10:50:46] Lt. Melanie McGregor: "Seriously, you'd need an engine with roughly the same output as the sun to power such a behemoth without popping a fuse everytime you did the pre-fire tests.
[10:50:49] GM: And this the discussion about the difference between a Wave Motion Gun, and a Wave Motion Cannon begins…
[10:51:01] GM: ((this = thus))
[10:51:04] 2Lt. Sarah: (( lols ))
[10:51:59] 2Lt. Sarah: "I'd assume al ten wouldn't be prefiring or firing at once, just available in case another direction were needed. But that goes back to using a turret. It would still need more than one though, to get full fire arc coverage."
[10:56:01] Lt. Melanie McGregor: "Yes it would."
[10:56:15] 1st Lt. Vittoria Silver: (( sorry back and wowa? lol ))
[10:56:47] GM: see what occures when you step away lol
[10:56:56] Capt Kain Crockett: "I think a lot of our early defeats at the hands of the invid came from not having full coverage and relying too much on front-facing firepower."
[10:57:04] 1st Lt. Vittoria Silver: (( lol ^_^ ))
[10:58:11] 1st Lt. Vittoria Silver: " no doubt what ever happened to a good old fassioned broadside "
[10:59:10] 2Lt. Sarah: "Also came from having too much capship defense and not enough defense against smaller mecha. So when suicide swarmers came with butcher knives, there was no way to get them off with the mecha numbers available on the Expedition side."
[10:59:19] Capt Kain Crockett: "We'd have been better off, but still left vulnerable."
[11:00:21] 2Lt. Sarah: "The fleet was designed, was it not, to confront the Robotech Masters and Zentraedi, yes? They both use large capital ships, which I'm sure the fleet would have been fine against."
[11:00:30] Capt Kain Crockett: "Yep, we fell into the erroneous belief that you needed ridiculously expensive weapons or other cap ships to take down other cap ships."
[11:00:34] GM: ((ah yes, prepearing for the last war…Zent cap ships…and then you face the Zerg…))
[11:01:10] 2Lt. Sarah: "You still do, just need a lot better point defense for those who can swarm the ships that way."
[11:04:08] 2Lt. Sarah: "That's why the Zentraedi were cloned in such large numbers, really, to counter the swarm tactics in kind. They can launch their own swarm of battle pods, to keep the suicide scouts from ripping their ships apart. Most of the time."
[11:04:09] 1st Lt. Vittoria Silver: " Even the Zentraedi had numbers. In the end their mindless drones controled by their intelegent counterparts. We just need to use our heads. We are more than capable "
[11:04:24] 2Lt. Sarah: (( wow jinx. lol ))
[11:04:47] 1st Lt. Vittoria Silver: (( hehe ok ill buy you a coke. That was 1 kilo? or a cola lol ))
[11:04:56] 2Lt. Sarah: (( lol. ))
