As the final flickering remnants of Karaba's armed forces quietly evacuate from the doomed industrial hubs in China, the massed armies following under Bask Om's command spread out across Asia, mauraduing and slaughtering any element vaguely appearing to hold anti-Titan sentiments.

>Titan Commander: Sir, fighting has broken out between our forces and a garrison in South East Asia! I tried to call for a cease fire, but the unit is insisting that this attack is under your orders-
>Bask: If they told you that, then why are you wasting my time?
>Titan Commander: I know the men stationed in this region! They are not AEUG supporters! Whatever lead to this attack order being given, you have to call it off! For gods sake Bask, Mobile Suits have been reported opening fire on villages without any provacation! Do you have any idea how this will be perceived?!
>Bask: Come. Right at my side.

Cautiously approaching the side of Bask Om, the aged Officer is mortified as numerous heinous images flash across the terminal on Bask desk. From buildings being looted, to women and children being subjected to untold horrors, to inhuman acts of murder, the Officer finds himself overwhelmed by the horrific sights.

>Titan Commander: W-what is all of this? Why do you have-
>Bask: All of these images were captured less than an hour ago. Do you have any idea what is behind these...indiginities? Spacenoids. Refugees of the One Year War that the Federation so carelessly allowed to infest the Earth. Illegals that were allowed to freely conduct themselves like this...
>Titan Commander: What does this have to do with us opening fire on our allies?!
>Bask: The Federation has rotted from within. Karaba was not born overnight...it grew out from the resentment and plotting of the defeated and scornful of the One Year War. In the Federations weakness, they allowed themselves to be compromised by the very same kind of animals you see before you.

Monitoring selective cases of savagery and barbarism, Ameria's modified Pixie Gundam retracts its wired observation pod, its recorder filled with footage to be edited and utilized to continue her own goals. Emerging from a camafloged cloak, her Pixie boosts atop a ruined town, her modified beam knives shifting into the shape of pistols as she fires down on the perpetrators of the riots. Staring down to the molten hot craters littering the town from her attack, Ameria licks her lips as she settles back into her seat. As she observes civllian survivors of the attack meekly approaching the site of the craters, some would break out into relieved cheers, while others would begin screaming their damnations towards the Pixie, horrified at their loved ones being caught in the crossfire of her attack.

>Ameria: Their voices are so annoying. Doctor, it would take forever to round up whatever is left here. It is obvious that even if they aren't all spacenoids, they are just detriments.
>Director Robins: A relief team will arrive there shortly to take care of what is left. Disengage and continue to ensure no ambushes are made against Colonel Om.
>Ameria: How much longer do you expect me to be his babysitter-

A bullet ricochets against the Pixie's armor, causing Ameria to find one of surviving looters holding a child hostage.

>Looter: Listen up, Federal! Make one wrong move, and i'll call for this entire backwater to leveled! We have a gun emplacement ready to turn this entire place into a-

Ameria fires her beam pistol into the distance, hitting the hidden missile truck hiding within the jungle.

>Looter: Y-you knew it was there-
>Ameria: Mine is bigger than yours~.

Without a moment of hesitation or regret, Ameria targets each standing structure in the town, annihilating everything in sight until all that remains are smoldering, molten-hot craters.

>Ameria: Better to be remembered as victims than to live on as burdens.

Hell yeah. We are so back.

>back from 2 week hiatus
>immediately 2 posts of nothing but Bask crimes against humanity
We've never been so back
Bask is probably going to basically reduce every territory on Earth to a worthless burning pile one by one. He already wrecked Jaburo and Beijing and shows no signs of stopping. Still, we really have got to head to the moon first.

>Pezun Commander: He was acting independently?
>Tosh: Captain Pashuray's intentions were likely to garner support for a transfer to the Titans.
>Pezun Commander: Even so, Captain Cod's reaction to his movements were...abnormally swift. Have any of the others from the Instructor Corps shown any oddities?
>Tosh: Frustrations, perhaps. Beyond that, nothing out of the ordinary.
>Pezun Commander:...I see. I appreciate the report, Captain Cray. That young man you recommended for the Xeku's testing...Josh, was it? If required, will he be combat ready?
>Tosh: Do you expect an incident with detaining that Titan Officer?
>Pezun Commander: I don't like that only one of their ships docked. That new vessel from the Gryps sector just pulled out without any notification...if it is working in conjunction with Brave and those who have adopted his stance, we may be fighting on two fronts.
>Tosh: I have already taken precautions for such a scenario.
>Pezun Commander: Of course you have. With any luck, there will be no need for you to act.

Returning from the isolated dock, Mike Saotome gives a short salute to the Commanding Officer of Pezun and Tosh.

>Tosh: If there is nothing else, I will be returning to my duties.

As Tosh prepares to leave, Mike blinks his right eye at him, causing the pilot instructor to close his eyes in acceptance for what is soon to come.

>Pezun Commander: Will any of the crew aboard that ship resist?
>Mike: As you surmised, Jerid Messa is commanding them through fear. Once we have him detained, the others aboard will stand down without incident.
>Pezun Commander: Did he reveal any of his allies?
>Mike: Pashuray, as you also predicted.
>Pezun Commander: Not Cod as well? There is no way he could be organizing to this degree with just-
>Mike: Everything will fall into place once he is captured, sir.
>Pezun Commander:...You are absolutely right. If his allies attempt to make a move, you will be the first to know of it.

Having drained himself from his long-winded berating of the Barzam's design, Kamille finds himself anxiously biting at his thumb, still deeply bothered by the shift in Leila's personality. Without warning, Four sticks her thumb near Kamille's face, causing him to flinch back in confusion.

>Kamille: Four, the heck are you-
>Four: Why do you do that? It just made my thumb hurt.
>Kamille: Huh? Y-your thumb-

Seeing an imprint of Four's front teeth on the edge of her thumb, Kamille grabs her wrist, holding her hand in place as he looks over the bite mark.

>Kamille: You broke the skin on it. Come on, lets get something to cover-

Four takes Kamille's wrist similarly, holding it to inspect the similar nibble mark on his thumb.

>Four: Oh, I was being to rough. Is it supposed to help your focus, or-
>Kamille: It is a nervous habit, alright? It serves no purpose other than just...it just...
>Four: Makes you feel better?
>Kamille: Not really.
>Four:...Feel like sparring?
>Kamille: Not now-
>Four: Feel like doing that workout you and Leila were doing?
>Kamille: Workout? We never-

Realizing the exact implication of Four's words, Kamille tries to stammer out an excuse, only for Four to playfully chuckle at his mild panic in trying to explain himself.

>Kamille: F-Four, that isn't some kind of exercise, it is...uh-
>Four: S-E-X. Miss Namicar said a man and women does it after they hold hands long enough. She also said something about going to dinners, seeing movies, getting cheated on-don't really understand what "getting cheated on" means, but it made her upset and she stopped wanting to talk about it. Honestly, we are already holding hands, so I don't mind skipping the dinner and movie part about-

Seeing Kamille's face growing more red by the moment, Four can't help but burst into a fit of laughter as she slips her hand out from his grip.

>Four: Kidding~!
>Kamille: You...!
>Four: It helped take your mind off Leila for a little bit, right?

>>23768719
C-c-cute retards~ Fa and Jerid are cute too. Lots of cute incredibly autistic sex this game.

>>23768719

Kamille lets out an annoyed groan, leaning back into his seat.

>Kamille:...I screwed up so much-
>Four: You are thinking way to much. Come on, lets just do...anything other than just sitting around here.
>Kamille: I just need time to be alone right now-
>Four: No you don't-

Kamille smacks the table in front of him as he shoots up from his seat in frustration. Playfully hopping back, Four moves herself into a self-taught karate stance, ready to spar with Kamille in his frustrated state.

>Four: Let do it! Until you are back to normal!

Just as Kamille's fist begins to clench, he is reminded of Leila and Fa, with both of their scared expressions from being struck by him. As flashes of Franklins private behavior with Hilda burn into his immediate thoughts, Kamille slumps down to the floor. Unsure of how to process Kamille's outward emotions, Four takes a seat on the floor with him, grasping his hand and firmly holding onto it.

>Four:...Do whatever makes you feel better. I just hate seeing you like this, Kamille.
>Kamille:...I just want-
>Jerid: Kamille!!

Startled by the intensity in Jerid's voice, Kamille is caught off guard as the Titan nearly lunges into the room to approach him.

>Kamille: W-whoa, Jerid-
>Jerid: It was the bastards running this base! If not for them, I could have crushed the AEUG! They are planning on killing me to garner credit with those spineless traitors running the Senate on Earth! Kamille, we need to act! I need you to-

Jerid's eyes shift to Four, his look growing more manic and rage filled by the moment.

>Jerid: Why are you looking at me like that?
>Four: Some of those words...didn't come from you.
>Jerid: What is that supposed to mean?
>Kamille: What is all of this about, Jerid?
>Jerid: I had an ally who was integral to us fighting at Ayers city. An ally who just made me aware of this bullshit treatment we have been given since we arrived here! The heads of this base are AEUG supporters!

>>23768753
Yeah, gotta kill Mike and find the Axis papers on him.

>>23768753

>Kamille: AEUG supporters? It would explain how odd their treatment of us has been since we arrived...
>Jerid: They had an entire army stationed here that could have torn their way through Granada's defenses! An army that is ready and more than willing to fight, but is being held back by traitors! Mike told me not to talk to any of the others, but I am not risking any of them screwing up here!
>Kamille: What exactly are you proposing here?
>Jerid: We take this base, and then we use the armies here to decapitate the bastards who left everyone at Ayers out to dry! When we pull this off, there will be nothing between us and control over the Titans-
>Kamille: You are talking about trying to pull off a full-fledged coup. Are you absolutely sure about-
>Jerid: No doubt in my mind at all. It won't just be the soldiers at this base, but everyone who has been held down by the Senate! It all starts with us getting control over Pezun. To that, we just need to-

Jerid's eyes shoot back to Fours, his anger flaring back to the surface as he reaches down to yank the Cyber Newtype to her feet.

>Kamille: Jerid, get your hands off of her-
>Jerid: Out! You aren't even part of this plan, so stop looking at me like that!
>Four: This isn't your idea, is it? You are trying to sound way more confident than you actually are in-
>Jerid: I don't want to hear it!

Despite Jerids grip on Four's uniform, she does not show any signs of attempting to break free from his grasp, though the fingers on her hands jitter, almost as if she is experimenting with their positioning.

>Jerid: I'll throw your ass out if I have to.
>Four: If you are intending to have Kamille fight, then I want to be there with him.
>Jerid: Like hell you are. The only way this will work if it just the two of us.
>Four: Is that what whoever came up with this told you?

Pushing Four against a wall, Jerid plants his hand against her chest, keeping her pinned.

>>23768848

>Jerid: I know exactly what I want! I want to be the best! The apex! Not just "a" leader, but "the" leader of everything! Everyone who died to see that future...they want that more than anything! The only way that can happen though is if people are made to realize I am their only solution! Lila realized all of this, which is why she made it clear I had to fight alongside Kamille! No matter what anyone says or thinks...there is only room at the very top is for Kamille and I!
>Kamille: Jerid...
>Jerid: Why the hell am I telling you of all people this? You have already heard way to much-
>Four: If you have said to much, then there should be nothing keeping me from helping. Whatever you are planning-

Jerid pulls his hand away from Four's chest, using his free hand to slug her into the stomach.

>Jerid: Take it. Take it, and pass out-

Struggling through the pain of the punch, Four replicates the same strike on Jerid, causing the Titan to stumble back from the impact.

>Kamille: Enough, both of you!
>Jerid: You...I see why...Kamille keeps you around...!
>Four: Either you let me help...or there won't be a plan at all. Whatever made you...do this, it isn't...ngh-!

Four clutches her stomach, the impact of Jerid punch genuinely leaving her in pain. Rushing to Four's side, Kamille swings his arm around her side, keeping her from collapsing.

>Kamille: Damn it Jerid, what is wrong with you?!
>Jerid: She wouldn't back off! I wouldn't do any of this unless I knew it was necessary! If anyone else interferes, we lose our last chance to do as Lila wanted for us!

Leaning against Kamille, Four adjusts her fingers position. Finally recognizing the positioning as the same one Scirocco had taught him, Kamille is forced to make a decision.

>Who will Kamille cast his support to?
https://strawpoll.com/XOgOVO1Rrn3

>>23768879

Ride or die, going option 1. It's time to form the Black Devil pirates.

Compromise could arguably work. They're both of decent influence (3/5 last I checked) but I also think going the middle road has brought us nothing but trouble.

>>23768890
The only problem I have with 1 is that we're following the tricks of an actual spy but I also don't want to leave.
Four's motive reading could actually help us catch Mike being the ultimate rat.

>>23768923

This is true, forgot about that. I'm fine with 1 or 3 but definitely not 2. If noting else, Four has been pretty consistent with marking people as troublemakers so she's an excellent ally to have (I just don't want to burn the influence we just got with Jerid)

>>23768890
It's more of a middle ground to Jerid. But Four is making a good point that this seems to be a bit above his usual planning. As >>23768923 brings up, having her around is a good idea since Jerid seems to be trusting Mike. It's likely a plot by the dude to set us up for failure. They get rid of J & then attempt to sway us over to live on or die.

>>23768942
Yeah, I get that but also Four influence is like the one that I'm not so sure about trading in for Jerid influence, I think she's on the money here.
One other issue also is the fact that these two worked together before like when they jumped Scirocco so I think she knows when Jerid is being Jerid

>>23768947

The thing about Mike is that in Sentinel he was a massive player in getting New Decides allies. Unless we are going to try and preserve the Federation the guy in the short term could be our ticket to fully controlling the Titans. We just need to dispose of him after AEUG is destroyed. Also the “attempt” in that one decision has me concerned. I want more Jerid influence to keep him as our bro.

>>23768951
While that is true, he does it with the goal to destabilize the EFF and tries to recruit the New Desides into Zeon

>>23768879
I'm in favor of either 2 or 3. Jerid is falling for a neo zeon plot from Mike Nuke your xeku Saotome if option 1 wins.
>>23768890
>>23768942
Jerid last time said he would respect our decisions so it should be a bit harder to lose points as long as we don't start being a major dick to him.

3 could be a good option if it helps us out Mike as a neo zeon spy. We should try to wax him before he starts sabotaging us.

>>23768951
>Unless we are going to try and preserve the Federation the guy in the short term could be our ticket to fully controlling the Titans.
I would assume our goal is to capture Moon and make it our base of operation so that when Bask comes to space after finishing his slaughter on earth we are ready to take him out. If we are going to use Pezun we should do it on our terms not Mike's. Taking the New Desides name for ourselves to distance ourselves from Bask could do good for our public relations and garner new supporters and aces.

>>23768978
Kamille is probably going to be remembered as the guy who stood up to Bask, so that'd be easy PR if it comes to open combat

>>23768980
>if it comes to open combat
It's Bask. He will want to kill Kamille and any of his allies for making him look like a fool and getting away with it.

>>23768984
I say that because there's also a realistic chance Bask gets overwhelmed on earth after all this evidence is collected on him without Kamille ever seeing him again

>>23768879
As much as this run has been a lesson on the benefits of committing at times, I really feel like the option 3 compromise just makes more sense here. Why shouldn't we involve Four? She's loyal and competent. Jerid hasn't actually voiced a reason for her not to help us besides that he doesn't want Four to also be a leader in the Titans - frankly she doesn't even seem to care about that.
It reeks of a setup for Jerid to have been told to only take Kamille along for this plan. Take Four as well, and maybe we can turn the tables on Mike and whoever else plans on stopping us and Jerid.

>>23769037
My thoughts exactly
Even if we didn't know for a fact that she's right in the money, Four's instincts are top notch and as usual she's able to immediately sus out any bad players
Relationship points aside, i can't imagine what the ramifications of just running away, but if we play along with our wildcard Four by our side we might be able to somehow gain the upper hand on ol' Mike and expose him as the dirty zeek he is
Hope Jerid, if all goes well, doesn't get too sad and/or dramatic

>>23769106
Well hopefully Kamille uses logic like Jerid trusting Four in the past

As expected, it will take some time for voting numbers to recover. Glad with that outcome though.

Oh shit, we're finally back. Sadly I didn't get to vote, but I agree with our choice this time around. I don't trust that fucking rat Mike and Four is ride or die just like Jerid, we all ought to work together on this one.

>>23769515
Copy started us off with a nice and easy reading comprehension test for this vote after some time away from the game. I'd be shocked if this isn't the correct choice.

>>23769524
Yeah I don't think I can safely trust Mike under any conditions after the last time we lost our Xeku's.

>>23769524
As the readers (those familiar with sentinel in particular, i'll give the pdf a spin one of these days) we have information that our protagonists lack, but it's not meta gaming since Mike's scheming was stated outright.
Hoping for the best.

>>23769528

Considering the wink he gave Tosh the two of them are intent on pulling off a coup on Pezun. The Commander is just too blind to realize he is being played. As for what they plan to do with Jerid it could be a way to recruit him into their New Decides movement since in this timeline he has a hair away from creating the Lunar Coalition Tosh was plotting in Sentinel.

>>23768879

cooler heads will prevail

>>23768879

Anticipating Four's intentions, Kamille quickly snatches her wrist to keep the
young Cyber Newtype from lunging towards Jerid. For a moment, she looks to
Kamille with confusion, only to relax her hands upon feeling Kamille's grip
lessening.
>Kamille: Whatever this plan you have is, Four has already overheard enough. If
you are worried about her revealing something-
>Jerid: That isn't the problem! The only way the people in this base will fall
under our Command is if we show them that the two of us could rest control from
the same people they have been to anxious to do so against!
>Kamille:...Is that the only reason you are trying to push her out of helping?
Why-
>Four: Because...someone else told him that-
>Jerid: If the Officers here refuse to fall under our banner-
>Kamille: The only thing that matters right now is that you know the ones
denying us help are aligning themselves with the AEUG.
>Jerid: That is only part of the-
>Kamille: If this is about anything other than that, I am not going to make the
same mistake the rest of the Titans leadership have. Stupid, petty squabbles
about more power, more authority...it is the reason AEUG has been allowed to
survive this long!
As Kamille releases Four, she straightens out her posture, letting out a small
huff as the last of the pain in her gut subsides.
>Kamille: Whatever you were going to ask me to help you with, I won't do so
unless Four is fighting alongside me. She has done more than enough to prove
herself until now.
>Jerid: You-
>Kamille: Agree to that, and i'll help you. Both of us will.
While still entranced by his lust for absolute authority over the Titans, Jerid
ultimately swallows his pride to appease Kamille's ultimatum. As Jerid reveals
the nature of the plan to occupy Pezun swiftly, Kamille's role, along with
Four's retrofitted purpose in the plot are fully outlined...
[Influence with Jerid decreased. 2/5]
[Influence with Four increased. 4/5]

>>23770594
btw this gives room to give Jerid some attention even at a loss for Four influence, a equilibrium as you will

>>23770594

Meanwhile, the Dogose Giar abruptly departs from Pezun's airspace, much to the
ever growing confusion of the Commanding leadership of the installation.

>Pezun Commander: I want that ship monitored at all times! Even with its firepower, they would be mad to try and attack Pezun now...
>Mike: Sir, it is apparent the transmission to that ship was intentionally masked. Lieutenant Messa made the mistake of contacting them so prematurely.
>Pezun Commander: Ensure he is taken alive. The last thing we need is him being used a Martyr.
>Mike: Understood.

Departing from the Central Command hub of Pezun, Mike silently recalls his private transmission to the Dogose Giar's Captain, Paptimus Scirocco. As he steps out from the elevator, he finds himself staring out of an observation window, his eyes fixating just slightly past the Moon.

>Mike: (Not much longer now...)

As hours would pass, Jerid discreetly departs from the Alexandria under escort of soldiers from Pezun. On the exterior of the fortress, a squadron of Smartgun armed Xeku's keep aim on the hangar containing the Alexandria. Observing the Mobile Suit squadron from an observation pod, Pezun's Commanding Officers rubs his hands nervously.

>Pezun Commander: (I'd rather prefer this to be ended bloodlessly, but given how impulse that boy appear to be, he could be trouble...well, at least for himself. Tosh's men will be more than a match for some pampered Newtype child-)
>Pezun Officer: We have an update! That Titan Officer Jerid Messa has been apprehended, but we have also received a report of causalities.
>Pezun Commander: Was Cod amongst them? Or any of the others from-
>Pezun Officer: None of those from the watch list.
>Pezun Commander: Damn it, they must have sent proxies to meet with him in their places...! Was it Saotome who sent this report?
>Pezun Officer: It was.
>Pezun Commander: Code Violet-Beta-Seven. All surveillance is to be cut until the bodies have been moved.

>>23770595
I'd be okay with that as long as we don't fully fall for Mike's bullshit.

>>23770599
Jerid is probably gonna wanna kill Mike once he's exposed, and we're gonna let him do it even if Four might not want to

>>23770596

Waiting within the Zeta Gundam together, Kamille and Four both wait for their signal to initiate the plan laid out by Jerid.

>Kamille: Are you sure that you still want to come along for this? I know that I vouched for you before, but I know you came looking for a fight-
>Four: I don't hate him.
>Kamille: Who? Jerid?
>Four: Mhm. He is always looking for a fight, and won't back down from an issued challenge...and he is true to himself. When he was talking before though, it just...felt strange to me.
>Kamille: His reaction to all of this had me concerned as well. Still, the people in charge of this place obviously had no interest in helping us. Whatever their reasons, we can't let that kind of division get in the way now. Not when the AEUG are on the verge of falling for good.
>Four:...It won't end. If the people here are so anxious to kill one another over a disagreement, does that mean even more people will go so far? I enjoy fighting...but what it feels like people want here isn't about trying to learn from one another. They just want their opposition murdered.
>Kamille: Four...

Within the Central Command Hub of Pezun, a sealed Medical Capsule containing Jerid and numerous body bags are privately delivered, the bases Commander moving to inspect Jerid's condition.

>Pezun Commander: Has he been stabilized? I want him questioned-
>Pezun Officer?: He is only barely staying conscious.
>Pezun Commander: So long as he doesn't die, get him questioned. Use whatever chemicals you need to-

Jerid taps his knuckle against the reinforced glass of the Medical Capsule weakly.

>Pezun Commander: Are you willing to comply? If you agree, we can provide you with the means to ease your pain. To do that, I want names. All of them.

Jerid slowly nods, clutching the bloodied section of his uniform. As the pod's cover unlocks, a bullet fires out from Jerid's coat pocket, with it striking the Commanding Officer of Pezun in his gut.

>>23770622
That's our Jerid!

>>23770622
>>>Kamille: Are you sure that you still want to come along for this? I know that I vouched for you before, but I know you came looking for a fight-
>>Four: I don't hate him.
>>Kamille: Who? Jerid?
>>Four: Mhm. He is always looking for a fight, and won't back down from an issued challenge...and he is true to himself. When he was talking before though, it just...felt strange to me.
This is why, even though it upset Jerid I voted for this, they should be able to find middle ground it's just Jerid is being manipulated

>>23770622
THE BOAR IS LOOSE

>>23770622

Acting upon the confusion sown by Jerids attack, two of the body bags burst open, with two of the presumed causalities spraying gunfire through the Command Center at the still off-guard soldiers and Communication staff. Slamming his fist against a hidden compartment on the Medical pod, a signal jamming device activates, cutting off selective access to the bases surveillance grid.

>Pezun Officer?: Phase one is complete! Phase two now in effect! Phase three will begin in four-hundred and fifty seconds!

The Commanding Officer of Pezun clutches at the wound on his now bloodied stomach.

>Pezun Commander: M-Mike...you betrayed me...?!
>Jerid: "To do that, I want names."

Tossing aside the hidden pistol in his uniform, Jerid rips away a bar of metal from the Medical Capsule, raising it above his head as his eyes bore onto the man he had come to view as one of the executors of his failure to destroy AEUG on the Moon.

>Pezun Commander: P-please...! I-I surrender-
>Jerid: "All of them." I want the names of every last one of the scum in the Senate who turned on us. I want the names of every last patriot who died in Aires because of your meddling.
>Pezun Commander: W-what are you even talking about...?! Oh god, it hurts-

The cold fury within Jerid shatters as he swings the metal down, its impact shattering the Commanding Officer's femur in an instant. While the insurrectionist try to turn away from the brutality, Mike silently observes the Lieutenants brutality, his usually stoic appearance breaking as a small smirk emerges on his face. As the Zeta Gundam detects the loss of communication across sections of Pezun, Kamille helps Four to her feet, patting her back gently to ready the Hyaku Shiki for launch.

>Kamille: Hold on tight to the Zeta once it transforms. Once long-range communications are cut off, we will have to destroy anything that would try to attack the ship.

>>23770727
We got casualties now, you guys sure we're turning de tables on mike?

>>23770797
Patience. Base Commander first, Mike next before he can consolidate control. Jerid will trust us more than he trusts Mike in the crucial moment.

Breaching out from the isolated hangar, the Waverider Zeta Gundam and Hyaku Shiki fly towards the outlined hub of communication for Pezun to destroy its laser and long-range signal transmitters.

>Josh: Commander Cray, there are more Mobile Suits than we were told about launching!
>Tosh: It is to be expected. The crew on that ship appear to be far less organized than even the average Titan. Team three, maintain firing positions and cover their movements. Offshore, Side, on me. Remember, no hesitation.

With the bulk of Pezun's loyalist blinded, they are left completely off guard as the Xeku squadrons under Tosh Cray's orders initiate their coup. While this slaughter of those deemed to be traitors commences, Kamille and Four use the chaos to reach their objective, catching a detachment of loyalist in recently launched GM II's and Hizack's off guard.

>Pezun Loyalist 1: Are those Mobile Suits from the AEUG?! How did they breach this deeply into-
>Pezun Loyalist 2: All visual feeds are down! Did the Instructor Corps do this?!
>Four: All of them are just so...confused?
>Kamille: Four, don't let your guard down-

Seeing one of the GM II's starting to raise its beam rifle, Four boosts the Hyaku Shiki off from the Waverider.

>Kamille: You're being to reckless!
>Four: Finish the mission! I...want to see just how willing they are to fight!

Aware that his time frame to act is closing by the second, Kamille continues with the primary objective of cutting off the bases communication, while Four works to disable the garrison forces rather than immediately striking them down.

>Pezun Loyalist 3: Why are you toying with us?!
>Four: If you aren't fighting for the AEUG, then why is this even happening? This fight just...makes no sense!
>Pezun Loyalist 3: What?

Slashing away the arms and head of a GM II, the Hyaku Shiki tackles the crippled Mobile Suit down to subdue it.

>Kamille: That the last of the laser lines! Four, you have to finish them off!
>Four:...No!

>>23771167
Ruh roh. Four doesn't like killing people and this might actually backfire.

>>23771167

Sensing the immense discomfort from Four, Kamille transforms his Zeta back into its Mobile Suit form to take hold of the Hyaku Shiki.

>Kamille: Why are you acting like this?
>Four: It is like watching someone strike themselves in a fit of madness. These people...they aren't fighting like our enemies from the AEUG. They don't understand why any of this is even happening-

Sensing additional hostility from a nearby section of the base, Four dashes the Hyaku Shiki past the Zeta Gundam, following her instincts as she presses deeper into the fortress. While Kamille moves to pursue her, the crew of Drake Pashuray's forces are held aboard their tethered Columbus-Class, with the heavy-set Captain appearing pleased at the signs of battle approaching.

>Drake: The coup has begun! Captain Cod will be here soon to liberate us for battle, so be ready! Today will be our day to-
>Drake Subordinate: Incoming Xeku's! They came!

Josh Offshore's Xeku Ein's fires a bazooka round into the knee of one of the security forces GM II's, crippling it as aims his beam saber for their cockpit.

>Pezun Security: M-mercy! I yield, I-

The saber plunges into the chest of the GM II, burning away its pilot instantly. Locking onto the docked Columbus-class with his bazooka, Josh readies a shot to destroy the transport.

>Josh: (There is no place for your kind, Drake.)

As the bazooka round is fired out, the Hyaku Shiki's beam saber is thrown into it, prematurely destroying the explosive before it can impact.

>Josh: Where did that come-

Moving to guard the docked vessel, Four's Hyaku Shiki hovers in front of Josh's Xeku with its arms spread.

>Josh: The gold one? Why are you getting in our way?!
>Four: We have already won! What point is there is firing on those who don't even know that they are in a fight?!
>Josh: A woman?
>Four: Why are we doing this? Were you confused the same way Jerid was?
>Josh: You...you're a Newtype, aren't you? You damned nuisances!

>>23771185
>Josh: You...you're a Newtype, aren't you? You damned nuisances!
Was New Desides the anti-Newtype coalition? Well, I guess the Xeku was going to be hard to keep, Four or no Four.

>>23771197
Sperging the fuck out at the Barzam might have been a good idea in that case

>>23771197
Josh is I’m pretty sure
But wait I thought we were trying to hijack their movement not join them, I don’t care if Josh bites the dust here

>>23771185

I see part of the reason Jerid did not want to bring her now. This isn’t as cut and dry as the AEUG and Titans fighting. It is a full blown nuthouse of planned friendly fires.

>>23771227
Brave was also not a fan, but then again, that was after he became a Cyber.

I'm a bit confused as someone who has never read Sentinel, but it looks like we're at least throwing everyone else's plans into chaos.
And our pilots are experienced enough to stay alive amidst all of it.
In the best case scenario, we can take over command of Pezun and all these mobile suits Four is disabling can be repaired. In the worst case scenario, we get the fuck out once it looks like the confusion is abating and we've been outmanouevred.

>>23771253
what's really crazy about this is that these guys are jumping the gun, their 'rebellion' is happening way too early

>>23771277

In the original story their rebellion was a reaction to the Titans losing at Gryps and the Senate capitulating to helping the AEUG. They must be doing this prematurely either because of the UC Epstein files Amuro let loose or Mikes hand rubbing started way earlier since Aires City got wiped out early.

Amuro has a secret island he has mad sex on and it is called Axis.

>>23771282
I think Mike is aware Axis is coming soon and the Titans aren't weak enough, I don't believe Pezun has any REAL AEUG sympathizers yet either

>>23771244
Jerid is pretty bad at seeing the bigger picture. He still doesn't know Scirocco was behind him being sabotaged. Mike and Josh probably only told him what they needed to get his support.

>>23771332

Going by Sentinel proper the rebellion was brainchild by Brave Cod. Mike Saotome set up all the pieces for the rebellion while Brave recruited Tosh Cray. Tosh Cray then took the men directly under his command like Josh Offshore and worked with Brave and Drake to take over Pezun. Brave and Tosh both saw Drake as a detriment to the plan and set him up to die when the Federation arrived to retake the base. My guess here is that Mike in this timeline was setting the pieces for the rebellion when Jerid was at Aires and is trying to fold him into an early New Decides.

All of this moon rebellion and space racism bs
I miss the labs guys

Less than eight minutes had passed from the beginning of the insurrection against Pezun, and yet in that time, the plan inherited by Jerid Messa would be a complete success. Any who would attempt to resist were subdued, and the bulk of those deemed enemies of the insurrectionist would be purged, save for a single Columbus still being guarded by Four.

>Jerid: Say their names! Who tore victory out from my hands?! Was it Senator Vickers? Senator Bronzehelm?!

Raising the makeshift metal club to strike Pezun's Commander again, Jerid only stops as the heinously injured Officer finally cracks under the agonizing psychological pressure and beatings.

>Pezun Commander: Y-yesh...! S-stop...!
>Jerid: Which one was it?! Speak, damn you! Was it-
>Mike: Was it all of the men gathering at the Senate as we speak?
>Pezun Commander: Yes...!! H-help me-

Mike aims his pistol for the Commanding Officer's chest, firing a precise shot through his heart.

>Jerid: What are you doing?! I wasn't done-
>Mike: My apologies, General. I just couldn't bare to see him in such a pitiful state, despite his betrayal.
>Jerid: Tch...! So what, it was the entire Senate? All of them set me up?!
>Mike: Those who believe the AEUG will be protecting them have gathered in Dakar as we speak. As you just heard, those same men were the ones who arranged for your defeat. If my evidence is correct, they likely did it in service to their sponsors from Anaheim.

Stepping away from the bloodied, mauled body of Pezun's Commanding Officer, Jerid tosses aside the makeshift metal club as he looks over the devastation around him.

>Jerid:...Everyone still left at this base is onboard with following me?
>Mike: They will be, General.
>Jerid: The Federation government itself turned on us...!
>Mike: Phase three has already begun.
>Jerid: Then there is no point waiting any longer, is there? I know what needs to be done now.

>>23772241

Arriving at the dock containing the detained Columbus-class, Kamille finds the Hyaku Shiki and a Xeku Ein's engaging one another, with Josh's Xeku being stripped of its weapons outside of its beam saber.

>Josh: Captain Cray, the black Gundam just arrived! I can't break off from the gold one attacking me!
>Tosh: Hold your position! We have sights on you now.

The head of Four's Hyaku Shiki looks back, verifying that much of the Columbus's crew have already escaped from the transport during the fighting. Using this opening, Josh's Xeku tackles itself against the Hyaku Shiki's chest, nearly knocking Four unconscious from the impact. Just as Josh prepares to stab at her cockpit, he is alerted to Kamille's approach by his detection system, causing him to pull away from the downed Mobile Suit.

>Josh: The Black Devil? No, it is completely different from that Gundam that was in the reports-
>Kamille: Four?! Can you hear me, Four?! You damn-

Kamille winces as he realizes numerous lock-on pings have already been made on his Zeta Gundam, with multiple Xeku's out of sight targeting him.

>Tosh: The operation was a success, Gundam pilot. Move that downed Mobile Suit to safety and vacate immediately, or you will be identified as a hostile.
>Josh: Captain, they were the ones who attacked me-
>Tosh: It will be handled later, Offshore.

Unable to risk Four's life on being pulled into another battle, the Zeta Gundam takes hold of the inactive Hyaku Shiki, moving it out from the dock as the mono-eye of Josh's Xeku continues to watch them.

[Josh Offshore revised stat sheet]

>>23772241
For fuck's sake Jerid we cannot go on a sidequest to motherfucking Dakar because of a petrified officer saying whatever he thought would allow him to survive another day. That's not happening.
If you want to fight AEUG, there's plenty of AEUG on the moon.

>>23772290
Damn the entire New Desides movement dislikes Kamille now. Let's hope that single point of Four influence was worth it.

>>23772324
These guys are lying anyways, AEUG Infact did not win over the senate

>>23772330
I voted that choice with the intent to take their movement over so I’m fine if some piece of shit like Josh hates me, Tosh and Brave should be easy to win over

>>23772331
You're right. Zeon did.

>>23772337
Neither did really, before Amuro released the files Jamitov won, now it’s just chaos down there. It’s shocking jerid still didn’t find out the person who sabotaged him was Jamitov and scirocco

Pic related is Amuro reading the flight log going to Lil St Jupiter.

>>23772330
We will probably at least get Drake. Which is nice since we lost too many ship captains. Though the wiki says that Cod and Tosh loathe him for some reason they think he is a coward and a traitor.

>>23772363
What would drake’s stats be? I wonder if he’s just gonna turncoat to us since we saved him from death

>>23772290
Well, even though 'miyu did his part he made an ass of himself to everyone, save for Drake of course.
There's still much to do on the moon

>>23772363
It'd be nice if we got Drake we the new captain of our Alexandria. Let all our pilots fight to the fullest while the ship isn't completely left alone. Drake's Columbus could be used to carry extra mobile suits as well which would be nice.

>>23772363

I haven't read Sentinel but I think it's that he comes off as over eager and likely to jump the gun (which he did given how soon he tried supplying the Devils before the coup happened)

That said, I think the next choice will definitely be between the Moon and Dakar. While the Moon is 100% right there for the taking, Dakar is not only about to be raided by Zeon remnants but Jamitov himself is also there (I think) while Bask is likely to get involved as well.

My vote is likely to be wherever Jerid wants to go and while I he swallowed his pride this time (again), I feel he can only do it for so long before he lashes out hard and I'd rather not burn through the hard-earned influence we got with him.

>>23772455
>Jamitov himself is also there
Fuck his boomer ass, he's done. The Titans are already in practice a bunch of personal fiefdoms.
>Bask is likely to get involved
If anything that's a reason to stay out of it.
We take the moon. After that we can be flexible, but we need to take the moon. It is catastrophic if we get sandwiched by two armies between Axis and Granada

>>23772469
>We take the moon
>Jerid: AND YOU TAKE THE SUN
>Kamille/Leila?: YOU TAKE EVERYTHING THAT SEEMS LIKE FUN
Now that would've been kino, better to take care of what's in front of us

>>23772455

Going by the wiki Tosh’s goals are not all that different from Jamitovs. Main difference is he finds the idea of living in space to be a problem compared to settling on Celestial bodies. I doubt he and Jerid will see eye to eye. Brave just wants to fight and go back to Earth. Josh has severe mother issues and inherently dislikes Newtypes out of jealousy for them having natural talents that he had to earn.

As for their plan it was said a few chapters back that ballutes were being readied. If they were already planning to attack the Senate on Earth we either need to redirect them to the Moon or bail to finish the fight.
