-Artorias has a slight difficulty reading the manual, but he rereads the sections several times and finally grasps the instructions and mechanical aspects. In many ways the machines work like the God Sen's automatons, a surprising level of details for the simplest of human movements. Though, one part does confuse him.-
@Urzu 7: Are we meant to pilot these machines in...zero gravity more than on solid ground?
'If you fall seven times, stand up eight.' The cry of the Undead.—Artorias overhears the mention of the cramped conditions, but he doesn't want to prove a liability to the rest of the team. He makes a decision.—
@Urzu 7: I can change my size to a degree. The smallest I can manage is 182 centimeters (6 feet) though. Will that suffice Urzu?
'If you fall seven times, stand up eight.' The cry of the Undead.Urzu 7: should be, as long as you're not bigger than 7 feet you should be able to fit.
Though of course keep in mind you'd have to find unoccupied ones in the first place. It's doubtful you'd find enough to go around your entire group.
-Urzu 7 turns back to the map-
Anyway we're launching a strike within 24 hours, we'll hit all 3 bases at the same time.
Urzu 7: those of you that are herr are hitting the largest base.
-he taps on the red circle to the south of the city on the map-
It's the likeliest place, and the most heavily guarded so we'll need most fire power concentrated on it. The two men in powered armor that were with you are going to be hitting the base to the east and some of our allies will hit the northern base which is lightly guarded.
Urzu 7: (@Six) not you, They said their names were Hector and Einar.
Anyway for the bases defenses.
-he opens up a second map and places it on a table, a bird's eye view of the southern base-
There are 3 entrances, two surface routes guarded by pillboxes and watch towers along with a tunnel under the ground.
-he marks five spots on the base with red Xs-
These mark the locations of tanks the base forces have deployed, they've been turned into stationary gun batteries. In addition to this there are 3 more tanks that patrol along the inner perimeter of the base.
The outer perimeter guards often patrol in civilian looking vehicles to blend in or in jeeps equipped with heavy machine guns.
We don't know where the tunnel entrance's entrance or exit is, we simply know it exists at the moment.
As for third parties, we do not know. If you encounter one it'll be up to you to deal with it.

-this is weird, they almost seem like...yup these are piloting manuals-
-piloting manuals for Zakus and some other zeon mobile suits-
Urzu 7: if you come across any machinery that you feel can be of assistance, it will be for the best if you can pilot it with a modicum of knowledge rather than flail around.
