@Mr Rage I'll give you one guess. XP

I mean, assuming that paladins salvos were fired at the same time that blackstar started movement (seeing as we don't use initiative and nothing was stated about firing before or after), the salvos should hit their mark before Zim reaches his target, so hopefully Zim doesn't splode due to friendly fire.

@Mr Rage

@Mr Rage didn't it occur to you that might actually be my plan. XD

@Ammokkx I agree. I'm all for fresh meat. But now ... Meh ... to tried to make some crap joke. Someone feel free to do it for me while take a cat nap.

Katya

Katya had stopped working, coming up with battle plans with PDF commander until the last second the Cruxi arrived. Both of them trying to workout the best way to hold Joppa. Sadly thought no amount of preparation would ready the Bravo squad and the PDF force, passing along what information Sigma had been given in it briefing about the MIST. Hoping in some small way it would help or at least keep the PDF from directly attacking it and getting a lot of people killed. As much as she didn't like it she hoped the PDF would leave the MIST to her and the rest of Bravo who in her mind had a better chance of eliminating the threat. As to how to do that Katya had a few ideas, but wasn't sure if any of them would work Or usable once the fighting started. It would all come down to how the enemy deployed themselves, hopefully Elora predictions would be right. As it would make taking out the Cruxi out a little bit easier.

When the sky was lit up with Flash of light, Katya stopped what she was doing knowing what that flash meant. Wincing as her comm unit screeched at her, Katya looking at her Hyperwave seeing a jamming field was in place. However the array automatically boosted its signal and was able to maintain a link to the command channel, Katya breathing a sigh of relief. As the array sent a automatic status update to the NOAH. Looking up Katya watched as the first wave of Cruxi came crashing down on the planet like sandstorm.
"By my ancestors ..." she muttered trailing off distracted by a something else that fell from the sky. It unlike the troop ships or plasma that was raining down on the planet. Whatever this was seemed to pulsate and swirl like it was alive. When Katya saw that something else was her eyes went wide.
"SHIT! They've deployed MIST already! Crap! I was hoping for some time before we had to deal with that." Katya stated to herself looking up at MIST feeling a pang of dread, Katya finding the weapon to be quite intimidating.

The moment the weapon was fully deployed Katya noticed she and Paladin along with PDF base where in it firing range. The young woman cursing as she opened up a line to every member of Bravo squad to give order.
"Time to rise to the occasion Katya ... I hope ... I don't get my comrades killed ... I don't think I'd be able to live with myself if I did." she thought her worry about buggering up her first command creeping back into her mind. Her sync rate dropping slightly as her confidence in her ability to lead once again dropped. She needed at least part of the battle to go well before she could place any trust in herself and if things went horribly wrong, Katya wasn't sure what she'd do.

Clearing her throat Katya pushed the negative feelings as deep downing into her as she could. It still lingering but for now she could ignore it and focus on leading her squad no matter what happened, she could break down and cry later provided she lived though the battle.
"Alright Bravo this is it! I'm trusting all of you to do your best, together we will hold this colony!" She said, trying her hand at giving the squad a few words that might inspire them and project that she was confidant in herself and the squad to do it's job. Recalling in her training commanders should appear to be confident, as it was meant to help with squad morale. As she spoke Katya pulled up a battle plan she worked on in case the Cruxi didn't land in the predicted areas. Minimizing it Katya took a quick deep breath now was the time to give her first orders.

"First I'm ordering all of you to spend as little time a possible in the MISTs range of fire. We don't know when they might fire that thing so be careful. Right Ariin and Zero engage the Cruxi in grid H3, I'll back you two up. Mia engage Cruxi grid H8. If you need to try to lead it towards the PDF base me or Ariin will then back you up. Elora there's a Cruxi in grid F2 do what you can to keep it busy, if you can destroy it by all means do so, but don't push yourself. We'll back you up as soon as we have eliminated our targets."

With her orders given she hoped the rest of Bravo would respond quickly and do as she wanted them. Right now she didn't need someone doing their own thing. Katya thinking that only by working as a unit would they have and hope of winning this battle. Not wanting to waste anytime Katya positioned herself within the PDF to provide a good firing position on the Cruxi war Machines aiming at one of them she fired a shot. The battle had began, Katya now fully focused on the tasks she had at hand.

Alright I'm going to assume everyone had at least glanced at my plan and since there have been no complaints or ideas thrown around I'm going to post now. Sorry to anyone that not had chance to look it over.

Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

Sorry for the double post folks but ya you all know mentions don't work when edited in.

Anyway @Ariamis. A question I should of asked back in the mock battle. How many times can I fire Marker Light per turn. I was working on the assumption it was 2-3 at the most provided Katya doesn't move around to much. The rifle needing a second between shots to avoid overheating and stuff. Anyway I thought I get proper number from you, just to keep things consistent and fair.

Also while I'm at it the how long did you want the Marker to last? So I can note that in my CS.

Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

@Ammokkx Well that is plan and a good one given you lot are in a clusterfuck. Just make sure to shoot the Cruxi and not the PDF. XP

@DarkRecon @Mr Rage @Apollosarcher @Ariamis

Right so my post is ready to go up. (All I have to copy and paste it out of a word doc.)

However before I do I thought I'd share what I think would be an effective battle plan ... well at least to start us off. See what you guys think adjust things if any of you really want to kill something particular or move to X really badly. (Or simply have a much better idea.) This is so everyone has a chance to way in on the battle plan and provide people with a heads up.

Anyway my plan goes as thus:

Paladin, Caretaker and Black-star will engage the Cruxi War Machines in H3. (to wipe them out quickly as possible.)
Once this is done Black Star will move to engage the Cruxi Tentacle Beast in I2 with Paladin or Caretaker acting as back up. (Or both depending on what happens)

Meanwhile Neo Angel will engage the Cruxi Tentacle Beast down in H8 and either fighting it on her own. Or try to lead it up to Paladin and Caretaker, one of which acting as back up. (again both might depending on what happens)

Logic Gate will move to engage the Cruxi Sniper in F2 to distract it at least or destroy depending how things play out. (given she could get in close easier)

Provided things go at least somewhat to planed someone would move to assist in dealing with sniper as/if needed.

Also this needs to be done while keeping the time in the MISTs range to an utter minium and I've thought of this assuming the Cruxi are not going to start firing the thing right away and hold at least some value to their soldiers. (Aka are not going to risk killing some of them to kill one or two of us.)

That's it for now.

Anyway feel free to weigh in I'll hold off posting until everyone had a chance to have their input. Given I pretty much have to doll out orders in my post.
