Anime Let's play SMA!

[abnaxus]

I hate that bitch.

 

[Azira]

It's a game. A poorly written one at that. You do realise that, right?

 

[lightbane]

The first option is clearly the retard option, we're in the middle of the war with space commies the PACT, we can't risk the retarded press fucking up everything. Therefore, I choose the cover-up option, if only to see if the game chastises you for doing the smart thing not being a 100% selfless nice guy.

 

[RK47]

It's a game. A poorly written one at that. You do realise that, right?

When you love something you tend to hate its imperfection more.
When you don't really love something, you walk away the moment its imperfection shows.

 

[Nevill]

Judging by the amount of prompts to trust the Alliance policies the game throws at you, I guess it is 'subtly' trying to prepare you for the reveal that Admiral Grey is the new space Hitler.

After all, if Arcadius is a girl, she can't be the final antagonist.



Down with the bastard! The truth shall not be silenced!

 

[DwarvenFood]

RK47 You know, this mission can be won in a single round for a nice amount of CP, the only thing you need is to buy two Rockets.

Quote from beginning missions I know, but I'm new to the game. How can this be done, with the amount of flak & armour that the pirate base has ?
And RK47 what difficulty are you playing it on ?

Captain. Disable flak with Chigara.

Spoiler

Yes. I think we both can agree that this piece of news would only harm our cause further, Admiral. While the death of a child was unfortunate, making this information public would only play right into Cosette's hand. So be it, I trust you'll handle this situation as you see fit, Admiral.

Captain, I shall never forget the gesture you've shown today and I promise, the blood of the civilians which was spilled today will not be in vain. Ongess will recover in time.

Well said. We'll stop PACT together, Admiral.

Needless to say, as of now, this conversation never took place.

...

Farewell, Captain. Godspeed.

Sir.

With that, the Admiral returns to Ongess to supervise the operations.
What a mess. That stupid ambush nearly costed us big. I have to be more careful when dealing with that pirate.

Come in.

Oh, it's you.

As your liaison officer, I offer you my humblest apologies, Sir! It was my responsibility to protect you during the inspection. And in that regard, I have failed. I will accept whatever punishment you deem fit.

At ease, Lieutenant. Despite the misfortune that took place, I still must thank you for bringing me in for the inspection.

Sir?

I would never have realized how bad the situation was on Ongess if you had not brought me down there. It pains me to say this, but it does remind me of home somewhat.

Sir? But Cera-

-was not my original home. My original homeworld was similar to this. Full of corrupt government, lawlessness, and mob mentality which rules the day. There was never a light at the end of that darkness. And so, seeking a better future, my family fled to Cera when I was young. As Cosette said, my father...was a businessman.

I understand, Sir.

Lieutenant, I can see you have some concerns that you wish to bring forward. I understand your vision of the Solar Alliance being a 'benign superpower' clashed with what happened the previous day...

Sir, I-

Worry not. I have nothing but disdain for Cosette and her ilk. It is clear to me from the previous day's encounter that there is only language that this... filth understands. Violence.

...

Threats, intimidation, bribery, blackmails. There are so many methods she could employ to bring the populace to her side.

Aye, Sir. Our relief efforts are constantly being sabotaged by her activities! But the Alliance will never give up, Sir! We'll continue to render aid to the Ongessians for as long as it takes.

Alas, Lieutenant, my conclusion is not as optimistic as yours.

Captain?

Lieutenant. As long as we continue to hesitate when she uses the civilians as her shield, we will never beat her in Ongess.

Sure you do not suggest we fire at the non-combatants as well?

I never said that, Lieutenant! But regard these casualties from now on as merely collateral. One day, the people of Ongess will have peace and security, but that will not be accomplished as long as maniacs like Cosette are still at large. I want her stopped. Dead or alive. Do you understand?

Understood, Captain. Once the pirates cartel are completely purged, the Alliance will rebuild New Ongess. One where such tragedies shall not occur ever again.

Good. And now, for your punishment. Help me write the report of this incident to the Commander. And... make me a cup of coffee.

Understood, Sir! Thank you, Sir!

You are dimissed, Lieutenant.

Ah. With that finally done with. I can finally sleep...

Captain...

Ugh! Just a dream... I .. I need to wash my face a bit. What time is it anyway?

It's okay, Steve. It's just... a girl. A few months later, you'll be at Cera and forget about all this. Totally.

*Ding dong*

...it's the door. Mmmm.. it's late. Who could it be? Come in.

C-chigara?

I came here as soon as my shift ended. I was so scared when I heard you were taken prisoner!

...eh. It's all right. I came back just fine, see?

Still! Did they hurt you?

Just a little lah. Nothing the Alliance couldn't patch up. See? Still handsome as ever. Baby fats and all that.

Captain... *sob sob*

(...sigh) I'm sorry. I was careless.

It will never happen again. I promise.

...

You can stay here tonight. I can't sleep anyway.

Thank you.

Computer. Lights off. It's time to get some rest.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

Dude, the fucking Alliance cannot be trusted. At all.

[RK47]

Is this Singaporeland? This looks somewhat familiar.

It's Indonesia actually.

 

[RK47]

Spoiler

Yes! Finally! Red Alert! Scramble the Ryders!

It's just another PACT scout ship sir.

I don't care. Attack!

It's out of range. And by the time we get there, it would've warped out.

... Prepare for short range warp.

Negative. That's the fifteenth one this past week, Captain. I'm not about to waste our resources on a fruitless chase. PACT is definitely planning something.

With that kind of recon, they must've already known the layout of the Alliance defenses at Ongress by now!

Captain, they seem to be trying to lure us out to an ambush. I recommend we maintain our position.

Very well. I'm just not comfortable standing guard. The Sunrider's not really suited for defensive missions.

I understand your concern, Captain. But should PACT manage to slip a ship past us, they'll ignite the Ongessite reserves on our docks. When that happens, a chain reaction would decimate the entire Combined Fleet.

Your concern is noted, Ava. Maintain holding position.

Yeah, we kinda are. Liquid Ongessite in orbit and a volatile terrorist cell on the surface, waiting for a chance to strike when we lower our guard. Not a good situation. Ava, any intel on PACT's movements in the Neutral Rim?

They have a new commander to replace their expedition. Veniczar Fontana. He's quite young considering his position at the top of the PACT chain of command. Despite his age, he's seen as Arcadius' right hand man. Brilliant just as he is deadly, he is a foe not to be trifled with.

Having a crush on the enemy's commander is a capital offense, Ava.

Hmph. Nevertheless, do not underestimate him, Captain.

Now why would I do that? Oh look at the time, I'll be heading for my lunch break. Ava, you have the bridge. Stay alert.

Yes, Sir.

Later, at the Mess Hall...

Hey, Chigara. You're by yourself today? Where's your best friend? *puts down tray of food on the table*

Ah, yes... Asaga's been acting strange lately.

Like, how? *nom nom*

She's been calibrating the Black Jack more often.

*chokes* She WHAT- Ack! Ahah! Ackkk cough cough. *takes a drink*

Captain, what's wrong!?

No. Shit. Sorry. That had a strange double meaning to it. Ehhm, sorry. Continue.

She stopped playing her games, and spends most of her time practicing in the simulator.

Hm.. that's unusual. (Maybe she's growing up. I hope.)

It's good that she's been taking her duties more seriously, but I worry if she's overdoing it. She really can't do anything in moderation.

Yeah. That's Asaga for you.

Well... I think it's because she knows there's another big battle coming, and wants to do her best.

Hm. She may be right. PACT's not rushing to attack us of late. They've been playing it a bit too cautious. It's almost as if they don't even have enough ships to commit to retaking Ongess.

Captain, do you think Cosette's pirates may have something to do with it?

Adverbingly so. Ava warned me that PACT might be planning a sneak attack and hit the Combined Fleet while it's docked. Perhaps staging a feint offensive and wait for an opportunity to sneak the real attack past us while we're busy.

Don't worry Captain, we won't let anything past!

Good afternoon, Princess.

W-well...hi there, Captain! Enjoying your lunch break with Chigara, I see. Uwa-haha!

Uhhh... yeah? Wanna join us?

I'd love to Captain, but I'm in a rush! I got more training scenarios to run on the simulator! Can't let the skills get dull, ya know! Who knows when PACT might attack again!

Make sure you don't push yourself too hard, kid. Training's important - but so is proper rest and recovery.

Thanks for the concern, Captain! But don't worry! I never run out of energy! See you guys! Enjoy yourselves!

...

Chigara.

Yeah?

Is Asaga the jealous sort?

Wha- we never really fought over anything like that...

Mmmm. I'll talk to her later. Don't worry about it.

Thank you, Captain. See you later.

 

[RK47]

Spoiler

Hey, how are the stars tonight?

... You wish to talk?

Mmmm. If you don't mind.

Go ahead.

I read that the Ryuvian Empire of your time once ruled Ongess. Tell me, if you were in charge, would you give the Ongessians independence?

I? I have given such matters little thought. Tell me more of this world.

The Ongessians have suffered under the hands of countless foreign powers coveting their resources. But the irony is that Ongess will not be able to recover without foreign intervention.

What resources do you speak of?

Ongessite. A valuable ore we need to win this war. Without it, thousands of lives will be lost. By acquiring Ongessite and refining them we can better arm ourselves and prevent more needless deaths in the future.

Hmm. Such dilemmas came with sitting on the throne of Ryuvia. But men craved for it. Killed for it. But you are different are you not?

That's right. I'm not the Empero-

You were thrust onto this stage, not by choice, but by circumstance. To be Emperor was to decide who lived and who died. Such power was inherent to the throne. But it was my always my hope that the man who sat in the Star Palace would be a fair ruler, who made decisions for the good of the Empire.

Far too many Emperors of my time sought riches and glory for themselves at the expense of the people. And perhaps that was why our empire eventually collapse.

The good of the Empire, huh...Then, the lesser evil would be...

Captain. Whatever happens, I am sure you will make your decision based on what is good for the galaxy.

Don't you wonder what that is? Terms like the, "good of the galaxy"? It could mean anything.

Hahahah. Thanks anyway. I'll come back to you any time I need advice.

Mm.

Well... time to talk to Princess in the Hangar.

Hey. What's up?

Glad to see you up and about! Had us all worried for a sec there!

Don't worry. Cosmos didn't have the balls to kill me.

Did she hurt you anywhere?! The next time I tangle with her, I'll give her some payback, Captain!

Don't worry about it. We'll take her down together. Just like in Tydaria. Focus on the mission.

You betcha! Next time I see her, I'll put her down for good! You'll see!

(...I don't want you to be a killer, Asaga.) Thanks for the concern, kid. But don't worry. I'm all right now. Bye. *feels a tug on his coat* Eh?

... Yeah. I got careless. It won't happen again.

Good.

...

Well! I better get back to work on my Black Jack! We've got another big battle coming soon!

Carry on, kid...(Oh, look it's the Angry pair..)

I reiterate, the pirate was escorted by forty armed gunmen. We had no choice but to surrender.

Bah, the first time you told me there we just twenty. And now there's over forty?

It was a chaotic situation! You cannot expect me to remember every detail!

Oh, come on you two... get along.

S-she started it! Sir!

Hmph. Here comes Captain Turbodweeb to the rescue. Or shall we say 'to be rescued'?

Really?

Yes, Captain. She was so upset that she raided the armory and strapped a pile of weapons on herself, screaming something about a rescue mission. Eventually the Commander had to get six guys from security to put her down!

I didn't know you cared, Icari.

W-why would I risk my ass for a loser like him?! I have better standards than you slut!

Oh my... could it be that you actually care about Kryska?

Pffft. You're...bi?

EAHHHHH. Shut up! Shut UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP!

...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't care about anyone! I'm a mercenary for hire! I work solo! A privateer!

What kind of stuff, Icari?

You're turning red...

Are you ill, Miss Icari?

Fuck! I'm leaving! The Phoenix needs... calibrations!

...be sure to calibrate it thoroughly. Might need to lubricate the joints too.

Uwaaaa, Captain you're so dirty minded.

Miss Claude, I'm not sure what's wrong about lubricating the joints, suppleness during combat maneuvers is important.

Ah yes... suppleness. Well. Kryska, don't take her words to heart. Icari's always trying to act cool all the time unlike m-

See what I mean?

I apologize for the mercenary's lack of respect, Sir!

(Meh... you're like the complete opposite of her.) Carry on, Lt. With whatever you're doing. And Claude... please stay out of trouble.

Alright, Captain! Come back to me if anything hurts~

 

[RK47]

Spoiler

Yeah, indeed. How long are you going to resist my charms? We need to resolve this quickly, Ava.

Hmph. New warp signatures around Ongess.

Another scout? Gimme a break.

It's a pirate fleet.

Red Alert. Scramble the ryders. Finally we get to deal with Cosette. Size?

Probably the largest pirate fleet ever assembled. PACT is closing in as well. It seems like they are combining their forces.

Hmph. Fine. Problems are easier to deal with when they are grouped together.

Incoming transmission from the PACT fleet.

Retrieve? You don't own her. And the wedding's been annuled. Something about shooting the father-in-law dead during the ceremony.

Hmph. Then it appears I have no choice but to take her by force.

Adverbingly so, motherfucker. Guess what? The Alliance Combined Fleet outnumber both the pirates and yours. How are you going to win this, Fontana? You don't even have half of what the Sunrider can do.

Numbers are irrelevant where tactics are concerned.

That's my line, asshole.

Hmph. I am eager to finally cross cannons with the Savior of Far Port.

Cross cannons? Dude, that's just fucking gay.

Prepare yourself!

Enough with Veniczar Fabulous. Ava, gimme a sitrep.

Looks like they're attempting a pincer attack...

Captain, they're probably aiming for the Ongessite reserves.

Yeah. Tell the rest of the Combined Fleet to merge with us. It's going to take some time for them to leave dock, but the Sunrider battlegroup will hold the line until the rest of the Alliance Fleet arrive.

Yes, Captain.

All hands, this is the Captain speaking. Assume combat stations. Ryders, scramble. It's the moment we've been waiting for. Remember your training and make us proud!

HAHAH That's all they have? Maybe that PACT Outpost raid paid off big time! This is going to be easy!

Cruiser Patriarchy and Schadenfreude have formed up. We've also chartered two Frigates on escort duty. They are awaiting your command.

Battle formations. Cruisers, assume flak defense spear-point positions. Liberty. Disable Flak Guns on that PACT Carrier.

Yes, Captain! Flak guns disabled!

Captain, I am detecting a new type of PACT Ryder. It is a Support Type.

Irrelevant. All hands, prepare for short range warp. Let's show Fontana the adverbingly awesome might of the Sunrider!

Warp coordinates received! Sunrider, you are clear to warp!

Warp.

Claude! Grav-Gun on Support Ryder!

Yes, Captain!

Ava. Commence Vanguard charge. Target marked. Fire when ready.

Beam trajectory confirmed. Power at maximum. Firing!

All Ryders caught in the attack have been destroyed! Cruiser is crippled!

Arm Quantum Torpedo. Fire at PACT Carrier.

Torpedo, away!

Enemy Carrier Hull ruptured!

Patriarchy, fire main guns at the crippled cruiser.

It's a good hit. Carrier hull at 15%!

Frigates, Laser Barrage!

Hull near critical, but target is still afloat!

Asaga!

Target dispatched, Captain!

Sola, prepare for Awakened Sniping.

Orders acknowledged.

Icari! Cut them up!

Yeah! It's my turn!

It's too late to fire at me now!

You're already dead.

PACT Group is down to two Ryders.

Switch priority to pirate ships. Command Schadenfreude to unleash laser barrage at maximum range.

We've dented their hull, but it's still steady at 66%

It's good enough, Ava. Recover spent energies and prepare for defensive maneuvers.

 

[lightbane]

The most romantic gesture the Captain has given to the girls is giving them the time of the day and yet, half of these are already fighting amongst themselves to see who will be the first to "explore" the player main character's hyperweapon. So why isn't the harem ending already included in the game then?

 

[RK47]

The most romantic gesture the Captain has given to the girls is giving them the time of the day

Yeah it's not like we rescued one of them from a pirate attack, or charged into the enemy line with a warp tech to extract an unwilling princess from marrying a tyrant. Hell, even if she was willing - they killed her dad right in front of her. That's gotta count for something amirite?

M'lady.

 

[omega21]

Wait, so white Rei is a peasant girl. So how come she was able to activate that self-destruct weapon thingy when we found her? Didn't she say only a 'true princess' could do that? Did Asuka get up to something?

 

[RK47]

Spoiler

Enemy fleet is on the move!

Any additional hostiles yet?

Negative, Captain.

Let's resolve this quickly then!

Pirate Flak Frigate is opening fire!

Hah! This is nothing.

The PACT ryders are opening fire on the Sunrider, hull is still holding.

Gee Captain, they're pretty terrible today!

Negative, Asaga. I'm just that good. Right. Our turn to finish this! Icari, mow them down!

The hull upgrade is holding. Thanks, turbodweeb.

No problems. Finish the job!

Count on it!

Two PACT ryders destroyed. Only the Pirate Fleet left!

Strange that Cosette hasn't made a noise yet. Whatever. Sunrider, prepare for short range warp! Full forward! All units - shoot to kill!

Target down.

I have dispatched an enemy Frigate!

Instruct the Cruisers and Frigates to engage. Unload all weapons.

Two Pirate ships and a lone Ryder remaining!

Claude! Grav Gun that ryder to my gun range!

My pleasure, Captain!

Firing missiles!

Ryder dispatched! Two ships left.

Saviors main guns. Fire.

Both shots hit their mark! Critical damage on both ships!

Enemy ships annihilated!

Hahah! That was too easy!

 

[RK47]

Wait, so white Rei is a peasant girl. So how come she was able to activate that self-destruct weapon thingy when we found her? Didn't she say only a 'true princess' could do that? Did Asuka get up to something?

Character development, bro.

 

[RK47]

Spoiler

On the contrary, I find your celebrations are quite premature, Captain. Behold!

Incoming PACT Warp Signatures! New type of Capital ships detected! They've...deployed new ryders as well!

Tsk... why didn't you go all out right from the start, Fontana? Underestimated me, did you not?

Hmph, your smug appearance is amusing. Let us see how you cope with our Elite Ryders and Assault Carriers!

Are the repairs completed?

Everyone's at 100%, Captain. But we could not replenish our Quantum Torpedoes.

That will have to do. All hands, prepare for battle!

Those Support Ryders are more random - we can't let it target us. Claude! Boost Sunrider's targeting systems! Sunrider, prepare for short range warp!

Yes, Captain!

Commence warp.

Claude, grav-pull the Support Ryder to my line of fire!

Pull complete!

Sunrider, prepare for Vanguard discharge!

Beam trajectory projection complete.

Fire.

All Cruisers and Ryders caught in the blast were destroyed. The Battleship is limping!

Leave it for later. Chigara, Flak deactivation on nearest Assault Carrier. Ava, prepare Quantum Torpedo.

Flak guns have gone silent, Captain.

Fire.

Massive damage. Assault Carrier down!

Pathetic. Kryska! Open fire on the crippled Battleship!

Target dispatched. Long live the Alliance.

Icari, time to cut down something big!

Can't wait to try!

Ugh their flak guns are deadlier! Doesn't matter! If you're red, you're dead!

Tsk! The armor's thicker on this one!

Don't push it.

As if I'm done yet! If two slices won't do... how about FOUR?!

Damn. They're tougher to kill now. Ava, tell the Support Ships to start firing.

Cruiser Patriarchy has scored a direct hit! Frigate group has suppressed its shield and begin firing their lasers.

The battleship is destroyed!

Keep firing at the Ryders!

Commander we've run out of energy.

Sitrep.

Three Elite Ryders and one Assault Carrier remains.

Too easy.

 

[RK47]

Spoiler

Arrrgh! Dammit! I'm going back for emergency repairs!

The Phoenix is out of action, Captain.

Didn't matter. Any enemy reinforcements yet?

None yet.

Hull status?

We've taken some serious pounding from the PACT Elites missiles and beam rifles. Hull is at 50%.

It'll hold. Prepare for counter-attack. Full Forward! Order the Frigates and Seraphim to fire at the Elites.

This one has evaded its destruction. Its resilience is impressive.

Patriarchy, finish it off with flak barrage.

Phew. One Ryder and Assault Carrier to go. Claude, it's lonely. Pull it closer.

Yes, Captain!

Well, well, a visitor! Time for a warm welcome!

Still standing? Fine! Let's do this!

How'd I do, Captain?

Adverbingly superb. Alright. Sitting duck. Let's finish it. Chigara, disable its flak systems.

Hack complete!

Let fly, folks.

All enemies destroyed! The rest of the PACT fleet is in disarray!

Victory! Fontana, it's time to retreat, buddy. Don't humiliate yourself further.

Wha-

Captain! Ryder signatures! Non-warp! It's coming from- Ongess orbital habitats!

Where are they headed?!

There's too many of them - they're headed for the docking stations!

Don't let them get close to the Ongessite reserves! Ava! Broadcast a sitrep to the rest of the Combined Fleet!

AVA! SHORT RANGE WARP!

Captain, we can't risk a warp in there - there's too many Ryders at the scene!

Attention all Alliance Vessels: multiple pirate Ryders are swarming your docking station! Disengage docking locks immediately and vacate the premises!

Ha ha ha! How disappointing, Captain. I expected more from the Savior of Far Port. In one fell swoop, every Alliance Ship of the Combined Fleet will be cast into the hellfire of the very Ongessite they sought to steal from Ongess. Poetic justice, is it not? A fitting end to their Imperialistic ambitions in the Neutral Rim! Just as the Imperialist before them, they will all fall before our-

SHUT THE FUCK UP! I HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR FUCKING DRIVEL, ASSHOLE! Ava! Get the Ryders back. We're warping in to save those ships or die trying.

Captain - it's ..it's too late.

No.

Massive casualties reported. Catastrophic losses. Your orders, Captain?

It is over, Captain. The Alliance Fleet is lost. Your ship will be seized and the Princess returned to Arcadius.

Over my dead body, asshole. Ava. Prepare for warp. We're heading back to Far Port.

Admiral?

So the great Admiral Grey of the Emerald Fleet finally speaks. Have you come to discuss terms of surrender?

Admiral, we don't have to-

You little punk. Sit down, boy and let me show you war. Don't you think you're the first commander to raise sword against me. You're just an infant.

Captain, I am detecting radiation charges coming from the Combined Fleet!

Nuclear Warheads?

I know you can detect it too, boy. I've just ordered every Alliance ship to arm their nukes and take aim at Ongess.

What the hell?

Now listen, and listen well to my terms: Tell your little pirate friend to turn around and scurry back to the rat hole she crawled out from. And as for you, take your ships back to New Eden and shore up your defenses. You'll need them to escape the coming hellfire.

Admiral... this is insane.

Do that, or I'll drop enough nukes on Ongess to make it glow brighter than the sun for the next millennia!

You cannot be serious. A man of Alliance would not mass murder 40 billion civilians!

Try me, boy...

Tsch...

He's bluffing! We can wipe out the entire Alliance fleet here and now!

On the count of three, children. ONE!

Don't listen to him! He's too much of a coward to fire!

...

Cosette....you've really done it now.

ALL THEIR SHIPS ARE GATHERED HERE! We'll never get another chance like this! FIFTEEN SECONDS, FONTANA! That is all I need to end the Alliance's military supremacy!

TWO!

Fuck. Ava, will the Sunrider be caught in the blast?

N..no, Captain. We are...safe.

Fontana! Everyone in that planet is willing to die if it means the end of the Alliance! INDEPENDENCE OR DEATH! Just give us ten more seconds! We can do this!

Such a ridiculous claim.

Captain? Should we do something?

 

[Azira]

Biowaran choice detected.

 

[Nevill]

No! Not the world's largest supplier of loli slaves! Somebody stop this madness! Ongess shall live on!
