Part 142: Emma's Branch Alternate Mission #16: The Wrong Way, But Faster!

Emma's Branch Alternate Mission #16: The Wrong Way, But Faster!

Right, so after last mission, we go through the same interminable conversation about storming Taal Base to retrieve MIDAS and Alisa. Moving on to the new content...



Sounds like a plan.



I don't know, but it looks like it'll topple over the second it gets fired.
: We can go into the hangar that giant weapon was in!
: First, we have to take care of that behemoth.
: I don't want to hear you cutting out now. We're going in!
: Dude, you're pretty amped.
: Isn't that how he always is...?



A few tanks, a few foot snipers, and the most underwhelming giant legged cannon to date. But the game decides to tilt the scale in our favor a bit more...
: This is Bravo 1. Cool Face, do you read me?
: This is Cool Face. We read you just fine.
: We will commence with the strike. Please pinpoint the location.
: This is Cool Face. Acknowledged. Everyone, you heard the operator. Let's do it!
We get free artillery strikes. This isn't a battle, it's an execution...a summary execution.



I believe this puts the score at Plucky Foot Soldier: 0, Giant Armed Walking Tank 875. But I'm sure the foot soliders'll get a win one of these days.



Vengeance from the heavens!



There's no room in the world of Front Mission 3 for a tank with a dream...



Meanwhile, the giant 'boss' just gets blown up by about five turns worth of Emma's missiles.



Even Dennis can't miss this shot. Mission over.



: Argh! How am I supposed to open this!?
: The wanzer's weapons don't work...
: Awww man! This can't be happening!
: This is Cool Face. Bravo 1, do you copy?
: This is Bravo 1. I hear you loud and clear.
: I need a strike on point A-2.
: I copy that, Bravo 1.
: Kazuki, move out of the way!
: What?
There are a lot of ways to open a stuck door...



...but leave it to our party to blow it open with an cruise missile.
: ...
: Kazuki, we still have a ways to go. You need to calm down.
: Are you all right?
: ...Yeah... I think that shock calmed me down a little.
