Raiser Sword?

G.E.N.E.S.I.S.?

Requiem?

Recalibrating the Moonlight Butterfly to target Godzilla?

Tossing him into the Sun with an Axis Shock?

Pick your poison.

Well, with beam weaponry, it isn't stated that they're firing neutrons, and if any versions of Godzilla feed on nuclear radiation, then Minovsky weaponry probably won't count.

Amita: I was actually thinking that the Moonlight Butterfly would probably do him in if recalibrated the right way.

Tossing him into the sun with Axis Shock.... I honestly don't know whether that would definitively kill some of the tougher Godzillas, but it would definitely put him out of the Earth Sphere pretty much forever... or until some super-advanced alien race comes along to extract him and try to use him as a pawn to conquer Earth....

Heisei Godzilla ('85 ~ Destroyah) and Godzilla 2014 definitely feed on radioactivity, and IIRC some if not all of the Millennium Godzillas do as well.

Unless Minovsky or GN particles undergo radioactive decay, they probably wouldn't fuel Godzilla, but he might still be able to tank them anyway.

Actually, given that Minovosky particles are known to be effective at dispersing radiation, you might be able to thwap him with a large-scale Minovosky generator such as Zeon liked to use, and kill him.

New random thought.

If characters from across the Gundam franchise were to get together and do an adaptation of Macbeth, who'd do what role?

First thought I had was Reccoa Londe as Lady Macbeth, then I came up with Char as Macbeth himself, but then I thought Haman Karn would make a better Lady if Char was the leading man, and then I started wondering if Milliardo might serve better as Macbeth....

And then I got to wondering about Macduff, and the first two guys that came to mind were (in order) Shinn and Kamille, though currently I'm favoring Kamille for the role (since Shinn is kind of unstable)...

A question to you guys. What do you think about Ramius getting killed during Heliopolis by stray friendly fire?

Do not want.

Partly because I'd rather not see what happens when Natarle doesn't have a Reasonable Authority Figure to pull rank over her.

I planned on killing her off anyway; the question is, should she bite it early or should she bite it at the end?

In option 1, she's working near the Strike when Kira's petit MS crashes in the facility after it was shot down by Miguel's GINN. OMNI is trying to take out the GINN with a Macross Missile Massacre but every missed shot hits the facility; at around the same time when Kira gets into the Strike, Ramius (already injured by an explosion earlier) gets a faceful of missile. Add in that Kira is a Newtype, is close by when she dies and hers is the first corpse he had ever seen and you can guess the effect it has on him.

In option 2, she's the one who's transferred to the Dominion instead of Badgiruel because the higher-ups rightfully suspect that if Ramius was left to command the Archangel during the JOSH-A trap, she'd figure out something was wrong and run away, risking the entire plan. On the Dominion, she can be watched at all times, thus making use of her while simultaneously curbing her Military Maverick tendencies. We all know what happens to the Dominion; the question is, how to pull off that one? I'm pretty sure she would refuse to shoot at her former shipmates, resulting in Azrael pulling rank on her for insubordination and commanding the battle himself to devastating effect.

Actually, the question is, what are you trying to accomplish by killing her?

Nous restons ici.

Keeping Badgiruel alive and in command of the Archangel. She needs more love.

Mu also gets killed off permanently instead of being Not Quite Dead.

If you say so, but I remain dubious of that claim.

Then you need to finish watching SEED. She drops the hardass act somewhat by the end.

I think you can pull this off without killing off Ramius. Like, Ramius' whole character arc is about her becoming a better captain, and for her to die before she reaches that...I dunno, I don't like that idea.

(Also, I don't harp on this point a lot, but Kira is just a Coordinator. They don't have any psychic powers or stuff like that, they're just born optimized in other aspects much like Clansmen. Mu and Rau are actual Newtypes and have been confirmed to be as such.)

It's a UC Fusion Fic. Thus, Coordinators are switched out for an attempt to stabilise and mass-produce Cyber-Newtypes, I think.

What's precedent ever done for us?

Oh, that makes more sense, then.

"Hipsters: the most dangerous gang in the US." - Pacific Mackerel

Not quite fusion but it's indeed inspired by UC. Coordinators still exist but so do Newtypes; the two are completely independent of each other^note Kira and Sai are both Newtypes but one is Coordinator, the other is Natural; Shinn and Luna are both Coordinators but he's a Newtype while she isn't. Cyber-Newtype treatment and the Extended drug therapy exist side-by-side but are not completely compatible with each other: due to the Extended process upsetting the subject's physiology, trying to apply Cyber-Newtype treatment on top of that is 90% fatal, 10% permanent vegetative state. Similarly, neuro-enhanced Coordinators (ie. Coordinators who received any kind of upgrades to their neural processes) are also physiologically incompatible with the Cyber-Newtype process.

On the other hand, this verse's Cyber-Newtypes are quite a bit more stable than Extendeds; Stella, for example, goes from Psychopathic Manchild to tomboyish Creepy Child with Blood Knight tendencies, mentioned to have been a problem child even while in training due to going violent at the slightest provocation, mostly when she felt someone looked down upon her. She's nowhere near as bad as Kamille but the two have quite a bit in common.

You guys forgot the GBA RPG/action hybrid Gundam SEED game, where you can actually save Natarle given the right actions.

Also, obligatory A Streetcar Named Desire reference: STELLAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Neither goony beard-men nor rainbow-haired she-twinks will stand in the way of my dreams!

"Right actions" being pairing her up with the Archangel's helmsman.

Threatened Negima cameo.

Currently contemplating the idea that Duo has been working on his right hook after the embarrassments of Endless Waltz. Which he would then end up demonstrating as his self-described "formal introduction" to Zechs Merquise.

Because unless I've gone crazy, I don't think Zechs and Duo ever met face-to-face.

Nous restons ici.

I don't think Zechs interacted with any of the Gundam Pilots outside of Heero and/or Trowa. So yeah, I don't think he's quite met Duo.

Speaking of Zechs, Chapter 5 seems bugged: it shows Chapter 6 instead.

Huh. It did. That's awkward, I deleted the original doc from ff.net too.

Welp, still got my local copy. Fix incoming.

EDIT: Fix applied. Waiting for ff.net to update the main story.

EDIT EDIT: Fix successful.

Something has been bugging me since yesterday. Considering that Setsuna Hates Being Touched in the first season but grows out of it by the movie to the point of accepting hugs, would he be psychologically capable of getting intimate with a woman mid-second season without a "don't touch me!" freakout?

edited 20th Jul '14 1:30:58 AM by amitakartok

The second season is where he's chilling out, so I imagine he'd just be very uncomfortable with it rather than dramatically freaking out.

What's precedent ever done for us?

I see.

In case it's not immediately obvious, Feldt would be the lucky girl, with the event taking place shortly after Anew's death^note only it's not perma-death because she was backed up by Veda but as Ribbons now considers her too easily swayed from the cause, Anew is - to use a nu!BSG term - boxed (ie. basically put on a flash drive and unplugged from Veda). As for the why, Feldt unwillingly looks into Setsuna's head during a 00-Raiser Trans-Am event and realizes how much he is hurting inside.

It's like a Fix Fic with the 00-Raiser's Trans-Am doing the fixing by catalyzing some changes, like Louise quitting A-LAWS after looking into the Meisters' heads and realizing that not only she was after the wrong people the whole time, the Meisters are just trying to fix their own mess and are actually honest about their goals.
