Suddenly penguin invasion D:

3/5

Mission 1, Turn 1 (The Strangest of Dice Rolls)

Tsuchi: 6 + 3 = 9

Tsuchi's suit moved unhindered to it's position, but no drones were in range.

Dylan: 1 + 4.5 = 5.5

Because of Kira's sluggish movements, Dylan had to manuever above her with his boosters, almost hitting her headpiece with his suit's feet. (to I 12).

And the enemy was too far for the launcher to get a positive lock, thus missiles weren't fired.

ViperDrone4: 5 + 0.5 = 5.5

One of the drones glided toward the suits, through the void.

Erava: 2 + 3 = 5

Erava managed to get closer to the enemies, but wasn't in range to shoot...

Harpe: 2 + 3 = 5

...much like Harpe, who got behind Tsuchi.

ViperDrone1: 4 + 0.5 = 4.5
ViperDrone2: 4 + 0.5 = 4.5
ViperDrone3: 3 + 0.5 = 3.5
ViperDrone5: 3 + 0.5 = 3.5

The other drones moved closer as well in the meanwhile.

Kira: 1 + 1.5 = 2.5

Kira boosted to the position and pushed the launch button just as the missile launcher signaled a lock on one of the drones (II) - a missile flew from above her shoulder, just like in simulation...

(40+10-20=30>18, Hit! Dmg roll: 79)

This time it hit - the explosion engulfed the drone. Of course, it didn't damage the hull, but, the otherwise unseen shield was now getting milky spots and energy disruptions.

The generator quickly compensated for the loss. (end of turn&shield restoration)

...You have too much slashing on your mind, RedKing.

But I don't want to know his hidden desires D;

Also, theory: This is just imaginary scenario where Gamma is Annie and Crazytooth is Kat.

//You have already moved for this turn, Tsuchi And the movement pattern shows where you can move in one turn. We're waiting for adwarf.

Mission 1: Welcome to Tau Ceti!

Harpe was thus the last to enter the hangar.

The suits were positioned on the mass-driver lines. The feet of the mecha strapped to the magnetic rails, the Hangar was cleaned from personnel. Few seconds later, the main launch gate was opened and the air blown into the vast dark emptiness - with many asteroids, closer or further away from the ship. An asteroid field.

First to launch were Kira and Erava. Dylan and Tsuchi were launched into the space as the second part - Harpe was last to go.

"You should have your enemies on the visual." The voice of First Officer spoke through the radio, and indeed, five small, green-colored fighters could be seen in the distance.

"They appear to be of Viper class, the weakest of drones our forces met in battle so far, armed with dual light laser cannon. Proceed with caution - it is well known tactic of Tsuans to dump auto-operating drones in asteroid clusters, with their computers engaging their systems after enemy comes close to their position. This could be the only bunch, or maybe just a part of larger cluster. There's also always a possibility of a carrier or drone base hidden amongst the asteroids. We will monitor the long-range readings and warn you of any further enemy signatures. If you need back-up, fall back to the range of our front laser cannon. First Officer out."

"As this is your first mission," The cold voice of Cpt.Lydia could be heard on the radio now. "I expect you to prove yourselves to me and this ship. If you ever want to serve for this ship again, make sure that all that's left of this automated Tsuan scum are heaps of debris. Scylla out."

Turn 1:



//Notes:
Asteroids are clearly visible I hope. Any shot in straight line through the asteroid will miss, and you cannot stand on the same tile as asteroids.

Your icons are named after three first letters of your character's name. ERA for Erava, DYL for Dylan and so on.

You just post your actions - I deal with initiative rolls (1d6 + Initiative bonuses). The person with highest roll will be processed first. Remember - you can move and shoot; either with main weapon or side weapon, and you can launch missiles any time. Good hunting!
