Front Mission: Gun Hazard

by Opendork

Part 19




Well, I imagine some people are only reading the isolated links via the table of contents. Just as a heads-up, you should check the end of the previous update again for the first real co-op video. I'd like to hear if you think we did well or not. But anyway...


I got some level 2 homing missiles, repair packs, and of course my lovely new laser before starting this mission.

There it is! Galeon!

Analyze that data yet?

In the future, everything will be done with "data". At least in Japan

Yep. Your ticket inside's a hatch near the front of the deck. Blast it and you're home free.

Got it!

Well you don't need to yell.


We'll find out soon enough.


If you think about it, this part is like Shadow of the Colossus. You have to climb the gigantic enemy...


Then stab (shoot) it in it's magical weak point (hatch).


It's a regular maze down here...

It's more than a regular maze, it's a teleporter maze. Well, doors instead of teleports, but there might as well not be a difference in this case.


Seriously. Look at this shit.


I'm pretty sure the container it was stored in was worth more than that.


The little walking turret is the only new enemy here. Other than that you have the regular enemy Wanzer(pictured) as well as some foot soldiers and turrets.


If you see this, then congratulations! You made it!




"Really sucks. I wish I had a better one."

Who the hell are you?

The ARS hired me to get you out of here. We need information about the new alliance weapon.

Geez! You went through all this for a Q-and-A session?

Well maybe if you actually gave them some of that intel you gathered we wouldn't have to!


Boom! Blowing the door triggers the alarm, which is hilarious because it wasn't on before. Before when you were blowing up everything in sight.

I'll draw their attention. Can you get away in the meantime?

No sweat! I'm even better at escaping than I am at sneaking in!

I'm hoping he didn't get caught while sneaking in.

Be careful!


out. Catch you on the outside!

But I went with him to his Wanzer because I don't trust his ability to escape.


What about you?

I'm heading out the same way I came in.

Guess I'll get going, then.

My pilot should be waiting outside. Have her pick you up. I'll need to ask you some questions.

No problem! Okayyy, enough talk. Later!

Oh, that Luven is such a wiseracker. Wearing sunglasses all the time and blowing things up and getting caught.


For fuck's sake who's idea was it to make me walk all the way back out?


At least I'm finally out now. This was one hell of a mission.


Now let's hurry up and get out of here!

Not so fast. I'm going to destroy this thing, first.

Oh, for the love of...

Oh, for the love of...


Since Albert is an overachieving bastard, you have to walk to the far left of the deck, dodging bombs dropped by these guys and also some flea-like Wanzers from before.


Here's another 'boss' of sorts, though not a very interesting one. The lower turret shoots lasers straight ahead. The upper one shoots homing shots. All of this can be blocked and both of them have separate life bars. In the shot, you can see me shooting my homing missiles at them. The thing that makes this fight hard is the bombing things that come by once in awhile. You just have to take them out before they get over you.


Finally!

There goes the bridge! Brenda! Come pick me up!

Roger! I already plucked your new pal out of his tin can.


I guess they really weren't paying me to destroy it.


Look at that kill count! Seriously.


Thanks. You took a hell of a risk there, buddy. I'm deeply indebted to you as well, Miss...?

Lockheart. Brenda Lockheart. Nice to meet you.

Nice to also perform the most thorough rescue operation ever.

The pleasure's all mine! Hey, soldier boy! Gonna introduce yourself?

Liutenant Wilson. Like you, much obliged to Albert.

Not quite as much, but still much obliged.

How 'bout you, kid?

I'm Emil... I pilot the supply Wanzer.

Huh. A likely bunch.

They're all our allies.

Well, may as well introduce myself. The name's Luven. My primary specialty in data-gathering.

DATA

But I also happen to be a dab hand with demolitions, if I do say so myself. When they called me "Bomber"...

"I was PISSED! What kind of a shitty codename is that?"

Hate to cut you short, but... What can you tell us about the Alliances secret weapon?

Turns out they've been tinkering with a particle cannon at For Navaru, up on mount Umtarl. It's not complete yet, but once they finish...

Well? What then?

I think this is Albert's low point in terms of intelligence.

BOOM! Goodbye, Qasala Dam! Geez! Any kid could tell you that!

In any case, we'll head straight to Fort Navaru. You?

Well... I've had just about enough of this war, but if the Alliance succeeds, a lot of people are gonna die. I'm coming.

Great! We appreciate the help.

AHAHAHHAHA no we don't.

But, having said that, maybe you want me to use him anyway. I'll show off Luven in some capacity, but should I change my primary partner to him or anyone else? The level after next is another boss, so maybe you should vote and I'll get Glazius to do a video with me in which I force him to use that character. I mean, I haven't discussed it with him or anything.
