Project Warfighter: "Tier-One" RP Group, OPEN

[Congreveopia]

Gentlemen, let's go un-steal an airship. (IC thread for Rebellious Citadel is up. Apologies for the double post.)

Cong, do I need to list the number of RPs I'm in with Mon right now to illustrate how little attention I have to give to Nexus?

Probably, yeah. It's not as if I'm checking your posts each morning, so listing what you're currently involved in would be an acceptable way to demonstrate that you're busy.

Either way, the first series of posts (up to actually being inside the airship) are totally skip-through-able. If someone doesn't have anything really to add, they can say that their squad is just following all the others. I know that I've had it happen to me in the past that I've had nothing I'm excited about posting, so it just becomes a chore, and I don't see any reason that should happen to someone here. If someone's to busy, has writer's block, or can't post right now for any other reason, I can just move the plot along until they're available to post.

What can LG do for this OP, Cong?

Make a post reacting to the briefing where you work in a description of your squad's gear and/or their expertise and Nexus will assign you a fitting role in my next post. That goes for everyone. The more details you put in, the more personalized your squad's objective will be.

Ah, thinking about it I'll leave my heavy weapons guy and sniper at home. Just bringing Vindur, Eldri and Eldur.

I don't know how many seats are left, but I'd like to contribute all five of my members. Being a night operation, they're one of the best fit for stealth and precision under dark conditions.

Both of these sound good. Get posting.

[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

Do not have too much to post so I am going to not post in the beginning.
EDIT
I might just bring a three man squad, since my heavy weapons specialist would not be too helpful.

[Die Erworbenen Namen]

I wanna be the guy wearing a hat behind the one moving forwards.

That's fine. I call "I'm not a rapper" and I think DEN should be the one looped grabbing his face.

I don't know why, but its an awesome idea. Yes. That is good.

Hey, Cong, do you need a crew on the ground/ in the air for support in case things go batshit?

Also, everyone, I will now commence kicking my ass to post.

The ground is an ocean, so I don't think we need troops there. Having a team waiting in the air to help with extraction if things go south could be very useful, though. Are you thinking of bringing your own aircraft or just staying on one of the V-22s once everyone else has unloaded?

[Sonitusia]

Will we require drones? Roland wants to deploy his drone.

I brought drones. Tiny drones.

I brought drones. Tiny drones.

Drones designed for clearing the interior of buildings are fine, and probably useful. Just remember Nexus's warning about jamming, and remember not to over-encumber your soldiers (if it doesn't fit snugly in a backpack, it's probably too large to be practical for the mission).

Ill bring my own air support, because I am 99% sure quick extract with a V22 is not easy, and I do not know any weapons or electronics platforms on a V22. That, and I'll have Agamemnon below. You remember that ship, doncha?

Don't worry, it's a smart drone. He plans on dropping it inside the airship before anyone gets in. If it get jammed, that's just another tick on Roland's crash record.

I'm going to have to veto Agamemnon, because MAAPS can outrun ships, and Vindication would have just avoided the it. Air support is fine, just make sure it has the range to be useful (the battle is about 1200 kilometers away from the nearest land, but your ship might be closer than that, opening up more options. It just won't be within a couple hundred kilometers).

I pretty much knew that the MAAPS would outrun my battle carrier (I'm not dumb). But that's why I have it there. Because you need support, no? Besides, 30 knots is okay for me.

Perhaps you would've avoided it' although, to do that you'd have to find it. A lone ship in the middle of nowhere is hard to find if the captain puts his mind to it.

[Presnepartiv]

Say cong, how many seats do you have left in the Osprey?

Indeed it is. And yet Vindication is still going to avoid it. If Agamemnon has good enough passive radar to see Vindication at a range of 400-500 kilometers, you might even notice it actively changing course to avoid your ship, if Agamemnon is indeed in its path.

Do keep picking up on these inconsistencies, though. Notice enough of them and you might even be able to figure out what's going on in time to avoid most of the TFA forces on this mission dying.

Six, if I counted correctly.

[Die Erworbenen Namen]

I'm picking up inconsistencies with your physics, actually.

How high up is the MAAPS? If it's about 20-30,000 feet, you'd see me via active at 300 miles or so. If it's powerful. Same with passive (though I'm not gonna be running active unless with powerful and special AESA radar), and neither will you if you want to stay hidden. So I'll just be running passive, and thermal. Oh, yes, the occasional VTOL to keep track via IRST, but not really.

[Monfrox]

I really wanna edit this gif

And edit it by replacing the faces with our flags.

Too bad I can't edit shit.

But wait... Who do I know who can edit things....

MON! GAME! VAN! WHERE ARE YOU THREE?! DO THIS STUPID THING! I DEMAND IT!

It's at about 500 feet AGL actually. For, um... reasons. But it definitely knows how to avoid Agamemnon. That's about all I can say, really.

If you want, I can TG you with the explanation, but it will spoil the central mystery of the story.

Mmmmmm

If it has to do with satellites, remember that I've been watching them since the time I fought Hale. If it has to do with communications interceptions, well, probably. But Agamemnon is only possibly linked to DEN through laser comms when under radio silence, and otherwise basically runs itself.

Can you give me a range upon which it will avoid her?

If the ship is stealthy to the point that even TFA and Congreveopia don't know about it (avoiding coordinating the operation, hiding from my satellites and Wisp drones in clouds, avoiding global shipping, running no active scanning) then it might be able to slip by Vindication unnoticed, but it's also going to have quite a time just finding Vindication, and might as easily bump into Overwhelming Silence or Manta flight and cause an incident, or it might just miss the battle all together.

Basically, it's easier if we agree that Vindication dodges Agamemnon. Let's say that at the time of the operation, Vindication has passed its closest approach to Agamemnon of 395 km, and is 470 km away. Does that sound fair?

Her captain is very familiar with avoiding satellites. Of course, it all depends on who, or what, is watching. If you flip a satellite, weeeellllll he'll need to adjust, but then you found him, mostly.

And Agamemnon is a ship. You know this, right? Not an airship, a warship.

So... Balancing it out, that seems okay. TFA would know OF it, mostly because DEN mentions it, but they don't really mention who will support it. And 470 km is DEFINITELY within range of some helicopters, and I can even refuel them in flight if needed. (And sprint the bloody carrier, get her up to 36 knots. With some danger), and probably target with help of AEWACS.

Currently, though, she's not too heavily armed with fighting craft. More helicopters than normal, just in case.

Yes, I know Agamemnon is a ship. It took part in the Noble Giant Oil Rig incident, and yes, I know 470 km is in range of your helicopters. I picked that range so you could use your helicopters because you volunteered some of them for support.

Agamemnon does have to communicate with TFA in this RP, though. I mean, you can't just fly in helicopters without identifying that you're working with Congreveopia and TFA to retake Vindication. Overwhelming Silence will attempt to stop your aircraft otherwise, and you'll cause an incident at least, or threaten the stealth of the operation, or, at worst, put Overwhelming Silence in a position where Vindication can shoot it down.

[Die Erworbenen Namen]

I'll announce the second I am within range. Preferably with a direct laser connection to Overwhelming Silence, and if the weather says nope, I'll get an AEWACS airborne, and she'll communicate there. You'll get a notice, don't worry. I just don't want to alert Vindication with announcing my presence or, through making my presence known to your other items, alert him simply because I'm guessing he wants to keep himself updated, no?

Just TG me with the best way to contact.
