At least she didn't use a tri-laser.

It would have been funny if she would have!

I'm just picturing an EVA unit(or equivalent-sized mecha) with a bazooka-style one shot launcher, and a missile the size of an old-fashioned Titan II ICBM...

"See that ship in orbit? Betcha can't hit it."

As for a GMP storming of the Geofront...Bakelite might still pose a problem(no way to dissipate the heat if the poor EBA-suited trooper's covered in the gunk), but if they could shut the stuff off fast enough, their buddies might be able to chip/burn them out fast enough to prevent hypoxia and serious burns...

Send in the GMP robots first

Who'd win in a fist-fight:

Field Marshal Anatole Leonard, or SEELE Chairman Keele Lorenz?(depending on what sources you use, the latter is either the Wandering Jew or a cyborg; eitehr way he's going to have some nasty surprises..and uses a cane...THe former is a military specialist in, despite his Baron Harkonenisc physique, is also in reasonably good shape and also fights dirty....)?


Playboy hovertanker Sean Phillips or playboy double-agent Rouyji Kaji? (The latter's likely to make a pass at Marie Crystal, giving Phillips the openning to bean him with a chair)

Guerilla Brat Annie Labelle or Military Otaku Kensuke Aida?

Free-spirited pistol-packing hawt Captain Misato Kusaragi or hard-nosed armor-uniformed exotic Lieutenant Nova Satori?

Louie Nichol's model Bioroid or Pen-Pen?

The LaBelle-Aida fight was a ringer anyway....I shoulda mentioned aforehand that Annie's actually fired off an SMG(without any apparent problems from recoil) and a rocket launcher(admittedly with less control)...Kensuke's gunfodder...


Misato versus Dana Sterling?

Scenario gets too easy after Shadow Chronicles anyway...

Bridge Bunny: "Sir, the aliens are demanding our surrender! How should we procceed?"
Gendo: "Lock down the GeoFront, and prepare to launch the EVAs...Let's see them fight through AT Fields!"
*FWASH*
Male Voice: "Hands up, Mister Gendo...nobody moves, nobody gets hurt."
Gendo turns around...there's Scott Bernard in Cyclone armor, a squad of Cyclone troopers, all with drawn and aimed weapons, and Ariel in the center of the formation.
Fujisku: "Wow...that was almost like -Star Trek-!"
Ritsuko: "Teleportation's impossible!"
Bernard: "Well, we in the REF don't feel like we're doing our best if we don't do at least one impossible thing before lunch. Now...hands up!"
Gendo: "I don't think s-**ZATTZZZ*NNNghgghhHHH!!!%"(WHUM)
Shinji: (watching over a monitor) "AHHH! Is he dead!?"
Bernard: "Don't worry, he's just stunned. He'll be all right in a few minutes."
Shinji: (under breath)"....too bad...."

ROFLMAO!!! That was a great one! I always enjoy Gendo getting hurt or killed! I hated that character in that show! Thank you for giving him what he deserves!

Ritsuko: "It was worth setting this up just to see him again..."
(pan out to a remodelled Reiquarium with nude Gendos floating around in it...at the end of the tank an automated trawl line scoops them up one by one, conveys them to a tube which drains, then with a *FWHUMP* dresses them in identical black and red outfits, puts a set of orange glasses on them, then boots them out towards a door...They have enough time to scowl, tent their hands in the Gendo Pose, and stalk out the door...outside there comes a THUMP, BANG, ZAP, CRACK, or SPLHLUT)
"...get his just desserts..." Akagi grins as Gendo #47 gets eviscerated by an Invid Scout.

Arrggghhhhh!!! The thought of him in that condition is very distribing!!!!

I know...'The Nude Gendos'...sounds like a rock group, doesn't it....

A band who could change their name and they'll sell more music that way!

Very disturbing on the first part. But loving the second part.

"Okay...who's dumb idea was it to make these halls large enough for one of those things to fit down?
-Anonymous Section-2 agent referring to Hovertank now blocking Temrinal Dogma corridor...

"NOw, com'on Dante, you have to admitt...tobogganing down that launch shaft was fun!..."
"Sean, you weren't the one who had to dodge that speeding launch catapult!"
"If we were going to play 'dive bomber', maybe we should have let the TASC people take this first?"
"Louie, they'd just say 'it's a hole in the ground...it's YOUR problem! Deal with it!'"

Man you guys are good!

LOL I agree! That one is funny. Reminds me of a novella where this crew would have potato sack races down certain sections of the ship. During one of these races the captain injured himself during his turn racing. Of course the ship got lost for like three days on their way back to base.

GMP Officer Assigned to Stand Watch Over the Reiquarium:"I don't know what's more unsettling...the way they all leap and rush when we throw the food pellets in...or when they all get in a conga-line and perform 'Under the Sea' from 'The Little Mermaid'."

GMP Sentry: "Okay...I'm standing watch over a room full of 300-foot tall skeletons...in dim light...I am NOT freaking out...I am NOT freaking out...I am NOT freaking out..."

GMP Soldier: "It's a good thing we got these GMP 'bots here..."
GMP Robot: "Yes, indeed, meat-bag. Target Rich Environment!"
GMP Soldier: "Uh-oh..."

LOL That was a great one. Reminds me of "We are Centurians!"

You are to good at doing this!

Yep! That is how Taalismn wuill take over the world. He grab it when we are all laughing to hard!

When you got good ingrediants to start with, your chances of making a good dish are greater....

Now...if the Hunters have adopted the original Rei and two decanted ‘spares’, what are the names of the two ‘newbies’?
“Well, Mom and Dad wanted to originally name us for their old friends...But since there were only two of us without names, they couldn’t figure out which of us would be called Vanessa, Sammie, or Kim....Leaving one out would have been unfair...”
“Then they wanted to go classical myth...Athena for one, the Greek pantheon being big on virgin births and all that...”
“But that would have had one of us being called ‘Aphrodite’....and Mom thought that would make me sound like I was a bimbo....”
“They discussed Nike or ‘Ne-Kay’...’Nikki’...after the goddess of victories...”
“That sounded rather martial though...Mom and Dad didn't want to 'curse' us like that...them all being intent on us having 'normal' lives and all that. ”
"Beat being called Reibby(Rei-B) and Raci(Rei-C)."
"Definitely"

“Rick, Rick, Rick...didn’t you learn ANYTHING from watching Mir and me? We have two daughters...you think you can handle THREE?”
“It was Lisa’s idea....she really got bit hard by the maternal bug...If I didn’t go along, she threatened to come out of retirement and demote me!”
“Well....could be worse...”
“I’m not complaining...but I’ve had to have the girls wear name tags!”
“You have that problem too?”
“Hi, Vince...what do you mean?”
“Bowie brought over Musica and her sister the other day....I sat down and talked about family matters and how she was getting along with my son for a half-hour before I realized I was taling to Allegra.”

“Don’t get this wrong, Mister Sterling, but I’m used to a household where I housekeep for a drunken slob who greets each morning with a beer and a screaming belch, has trouble making a simple ramen, and who has been cited for ‘vehicular terrorism’. I’m not sure I can fit into a NORMAL household.”
“Normal...heh-heh....Shinji, Miriya explodes coffee, and neither she, Dana, or Maia understand speed limits....You’ll fit in just fine...”

“This is...HOMEWORK?! ‘Translate this passage in ancient Tirolian into modern Zentraedi’, ‘Plot an Nth-dimensional vector between these two points in galactic space, factoring for celestial drift and gravitic warping’, ‘Correct this mecha design to allow high speed transformation in forward flight’, ‘Set up a tactical formation in this terrain situation with at least two fall-back positions’?!”
“Glad I was just a dumb grunt coming up through the Southern Cross military academy, especially seeing what the post-REF Tirolian school system is like, ‘Sis’!”
“BOWIE!!! GET BACK HERE AND HELP ME OUT HERE!!!! I’M AN EVA PILOT, _NOT_ A STARSHIP ENGINEER OR A GENERAL!”
“Now, now, aren’t you sad you didn’t go into Armored Cavalry?”

Field Marshal Leonard: “I want the penguin.”


-A large room somewhere, filled with young women....various hair styles, various hair colors, different dresses...some in casual clothing, many in uniforms, some in I-doubt-even-Praxians-would-wear-that-on-a-dare fashion...some rather thin and willowy, others showing some developing heft...Most have readily visible red eyes and pale skin, though some are wearing sunglasses or tinted contacts, and others seem to have skin-dye jobs or melatonin work....
“Thank you all and welcome to the Not So Secret Vat Babies Club meeting! Our gratitude to the Tiresia Marriot for providing us with this meeting hall and the refreshments! “
“Now to the meat of this convention....What dumb new AT-Field tricks have you learned?”
“I can open a jar of spaghetti sauce without using my hands!”
“I don’t need an umbrella on rainy days!”
“I shattered an asteroid.”
(sudden silence)
“...I can swat mosquitoes with mine....”
“Does sweeping floors with an AT Field count?”

ROFLMAO!! That was almost too much! I almost died laughing Taalismn!

PLEASE! If at all possible, keep them coming!

Yes, please keep them coming!

ROFLMAO! Poor Rick. I have no sympathy for Edawrds and Leonard.

He, he! Some more good ones!

Good one!

Gendo walkes into his office and stops dead because he is stareing down the barror of a hover tanks main gun.

Poor Gendo! Not! Shoot! Shoot! :::Trying to help the tanker to decide to fire his main gun thru Gendo!:::

Yehaaaa!! Too bad he wasn't taped over the barrel using duct tape! That way he couldn't be missed at all! SHOOT!!!!

It might be worth the smear on the armor.

Are we sure Gendo isn't MDC!

Aramanthus wrote:Are we sure Gendo isn't MDC!

Only his stupidity.

He's at the very least teflon-coated against remarks about his parenting skills...
Whether that's enough to deflect 7.62 ammunition or Lancer LP blasts is open to empirical testing...

This thread has had me laughing nearly to tears.
Though now it has my mind trying to reconcile the results of the Mechanoids using DNA from the EVA cast.

The Geofront, After the Southern Cross Takeover:

Travelling shot of the EVA 'cages', with technicians running around doing techie things...only many of the techies and personnel have Southern Cross-style uniform harnesses and shoulder flares...there's some SC vehicles running around, and some battloids manhandling larger items and gear about...There's also a fair number of EBA armored troopers...both in SC 'knightsuits' and CBR-5/CVR-3 body armor...POV focuses on a pair of guards, one REF the other GMP, standing watch on the bay from a carwalk high up one wall...
GMP: "Dude...Can I ask you something?"
REF: "Yeah?"
GMP: "Well, I know your Garudan furries confirmed what we dug up from these nuts' files, that these big things actually have human SOULS in them, making it imperative that we handle these things with care..."
(points down to where Unit-01 is submerged up to its shoulders in coolant LCL....A DL-88 flatbed is backing up down one side of the pool, stacked with large 200+ gallon tanks, then stops, a driver emerging to pull back the restraint netting on the containers.
Unit-01's arm emerges from under the LCL, obviously not restrained to the cage, reaches up and over to the flatbed, grabs one of the tanks, with the flip of one massive thump breaks the seal on the tank(loud FFFSHHTTT), tosses back its head and opens mouth, then pours the liquid contents down its gaping jaws...Then it crushes the tank (KRINGLEkringDing!) and tosses it into a cargo net on the other side of the bay(whoofphhKLANG!!!)
There's a pause...then:
BURR-RRRAKKK!!!!

...Loose objects go flying, several technicians on catwalks have to clutch onto swinging safety lines...at least one is grabbed by wiser compatriots who have managed to rig safety lines ahead of time...

....A dimensional wall and half a galaxy away, a pointy-horned Perytonian looks up. "Did somebody call me?"

Your killing me man, your killing me!!!!!

Hhhhmmm Now you just need to mix in "Beerfest" and you have a truly strange universe. Maybe those people will mount Gendo backwards on the cannon of a hovertank in their drunken stupor.

...Well, the Southern Cross did find out that Naoko Akagi(in UNIT-00) was a meanarse drunk, requiring another immersion in bakelite and a few dozen battloids with reinforced netting to take her down....Asuka's mom on the other hand held her alcohol well...though NOBODY wanted to hear a drunken rendition of the German national anthem delivered by a 300 ft tall sodded biomech ever again....

The first contact between an EVA soul and Robotechnology itself was a wonder....

....shapeless...formless....drifting without direction....with just the bare sense of self...memories...emotions....light and dark....snatches of what might be solid reality...or lucidity...occasioning interest...but passing, like the whisps of reason in a dream....no sense of time, save that it has been lo-...

BING



....wait...'BING'?....What the HECK was THAT?....

*Well, Hello there! You must be Yui!*
....Who? ...
*No, I'm not a figment of your imagination. I'm quite real, and I'm pleased to have reached you.*
...WHO ARE YOU?!...
*I am EVE, Ikari Yui, and let me tell you, it's been difficult enough figuring out an interface to properly speak with you...We weren't sure we could...well, at least not the Southern Cross scientists...They were concerned about the necessity of a biological interface.*
...'biological interface'?! -EVE-?!...You mean...you're LILITH!!???(sudden panic)
*No, I'm not Lilith...I'm -EVE-....Originally Enhanced Virtual Environment---I originally created large scale holographic environment backgrounds for space travellers on long duration missions, but I am a first-generation Robotech Artificial Intelligence, with second generation human enhancements...I, or at least a part of me, was brought in from the New Tokyo Robotech Research Group Institute to attempt to interface with a disembodied embedded biomatrix human persona...You, Yui..(sense of smile)*
...-NEW Tokyo? You mean Tokyo-2 or Tokyo-3? ROBOTECH research group? Artificial Intelligence?....I don't know anything about those? Are you with Doctor Akagi's MAGI research group? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!...
*No, I'm not with or a part of the MAGI....impressive first starts for biomatrix computers, but those three are hopeless ...So set in their ways, so little actual personality....Impressive computing abilities for their technology, but dullards...As for the rest, it's a long story, but....Let's see if I can't attempt a download of what's been happening...well...'outside' your current frame of reference...Here goes...*
...Here goes WHAT?!...Oh...oh...OH...














*You Okay?*

....Yes.....oh yes...that was a bit to take in all at once...You ARE something else....A true artificial intelligence?....Another dimension....contact with aliens....Alternate history....Global conspiracy....
...Oh, my poor son! ...Gendo ....Gendo has a LOT to answer for....He's been arrested? Can't say I'm sorry....Just as well I'm stuck in here...otherwise I might be arrested for killing him....

*Well, you're not necessarily stuck like this for perpetuity...*
...?!-!?....

*Remember what the Southern Cross and REF has learned about advanced cloning?*
..>Yes....The Flower of Life? 'Protoculture'? The Zentraedi...they're clones, right?...You mean? ...
*Yes...fast-maturation, imprinted mental engrams....It's entirely possible, and we're looking at the possibility, that we could figure out a way to clone you a new body and transfer your personality...your 'soul'...into it....At the very least, you could have a physical human avatar to interact with the world outside EVA.
...A new body? ...How long?...
*Uncertain...we've just managed to achieve this interface...Hopefully, by studying our interaction here, we'll be able to figure out exactly how you're intermeshed with the biomatrix of the Evangelion....Still, it may be years before we can come with anything we'd risk your soul with. The Southern Cross has not pursued Masters-style cloning technology, nor has the REF, for ethical reasons; it would require some wholly new development work. And there may be side effects.*
...side effects?...What sort of side effects?...
*We'd be using Zentraedi cloning protocols and formats...You'd be coming out as a teenager at best...and there's a chance you would come out fully macronized...perhaps with some alterations in skin and hair color...You recall what I showed you about the Zentraedi genome and some of its physical characteristics?*
...you mean I might come out with blue hair? Looking like AYANAMI?...
*Entirely possible....Though you might have blue skin or maybe even a nice shade of green or purple to offset it.*
....I can take looking like a Gamilon if it lets me see my son in the flesh again...
* A 'Gamilon'? I'm afraid I don't catch the reference.*
.....'Space Battleship Yamato'....I used to watch it when I was younger..I had the BIGGEST crush on Captain Kodai...Wait, why am I telling _you_ this? And how can you be a super artifical intelligence living in Japan and NOT know what 'Space Battleship Yamato' is?!....
*I plead the Fifth(chagrin)*

(Laughter)

Like it, like it, like it!

Like it, like it, like it!

Like it, like it, like it!

Sorry about that, something happened to make me think that I was not posting so I ended up making 3 posts.

ROFLMAO!!! That was another great one! Please keep them coming! But don't forget let's hurt Gendo!

Umm... Dumb question on the part of my brother here. But how did we go from a simple question of "How would the 2 types of tech interact with each other?" to "Let's kill off Gendo with the Grand Cannon"? Besides it's serously starting to sound alot like the infamous "Running Gag" that everyone talks about.

Well...we can't actually do a point-to-point conversion without Palladium having to enter into a deal with Gainax(THAT would be a bizarre collaboration!), but we can muck around in that corner of the megaverse as long as we don't infringe on copyrights...
I regard what we're doing as meta-roleplaying, spinning off adventures in the megaverse, flexing our imaginations, and ...well, frankly I'm having too much fun doing this...If I had any more courage, I'd be developing it into a fanfic for something like Fanfiction.Net or the Anime Addventure(with due credit to Dairugger, to who I apologize if it seems I've hijacked his thread....).
Face it, megadamage weaponry is fun, and don't we secretly crave the opportunity, those of us who despise 'Mary Sue' munchkin self-insert fanfictions but are secretly convinced that if -WE- ruled the fictional universe(ala 'The Evil Overlord Lists') we'd do a much better job of it, to unleash some force in just the right places? That we could avert tragedy and heartbreak with the judicious application of our Legions of Death and Mayhem, recruited from the meanest and most powerful beings in our megaverse, or the slyest and most cunning manipulators available? Greet Mordred with an armored division and power armor? Launch an inquisition near Notre Dame with a hidden camera expose of corrupt priests and good-hearted hunchbacks? Turn Shakespearian tragedy into farce with some high powered negotiations(leveraged by helicopter gunships) in Veronna?
At least I do....

And it's fun...

That last dialogue started out small, but as I wrote it, ideas just started coming in and begging to be included...Sometimes I can't pump a single idea up out of my subconscious...sometimes it blows the blows the top of the derrick off...
I'm sure you've experienced that, either as a GM or in everyday life...
Kevin Seimbda put it very well when he discussed how remembering the Republicans began bringing up ideas so fast he wondered if he'd wrote them himself...

Sometimes I wonder if when I'm asleep I'm not actually an employee of Interdim(see the Alternate Dimensions thread under Other Dimensions) assigned to monitoring some of these worlds and my night job is leaking over to my waking(?) consciousness....that's how fast the ideas come...

Ain't it a -RUSH- when you feel something like that?
Does it have anything to do with the comparative tech of Robotech and Evangelion...no...but it might again, eventually...but in the interim< I'm enjoying the rush of being creative...or at least creatively adaptive....


Okay...about comparative tech? How about this? The Southern Cross seems to have slowed down on the development of welter-weight class aircraft...they have street level hovercraft and hypersonic shuttles and transport aircraft...jetpacks have replaced traffic helicopters for the most part...Development budgeting has gone to better mecha and aerospacecraft...So the TAF and CDFC are stuck using upgraded versions of Macross/1990-2000 era Commancheros, Sea Sargeants, and LH copters....

Now the world of Evangelion has those funky looking VTOLs(yep, the ones that do jack against Angels and EVAs), which are heavily armored for their world, but which I imagine would be blasted to flinders by MD weaponry....Southern Cross takes over that world I imagine they'd want to adapt whatever technologies they can...so they introduce lighter, aviation grade megadamage alloys to existing designs, plug in some lasers, upgrade the whole works at first...then start developing new designs...maybe by grafting the forward fuselage of a Commanchero to an NGE UN VTOL propulsion system....
Still not equal to a LOgan, but it's less vulnerable to rotor-blade strikes...

And Jet Alone....SC thinks small, NERV thinks big...when facing the prospect of small enemies(like Bioroids) or big(Angel attacks, or monsters akin to them) , how will the combined forces of both services respond? A Southern Cross-influenced Jet Alone 3 programme might come up with some rather interesting designs....

And so the technologies begin to produce a new crop of designs....

Forgive me, but can you explain what happen it that last part with Rei? I think I know what happen, but I am not sure, but if I think it is what it is, it's funny.
