This rescue is a team effort!
Who: The Rescue party (Kamille Bidan and company), the rescue targets (Choromatsu and Jyushimatsu), and the people in the way (the scientists who kidnapped the boys)
Where: The S.S. Panic, then the scientists' lair.
When: Shortly after Choromatsu sends out his distress call.
What: We're going to war, son.
Warnings: This is likely to get violent, and NPCs are likely to die
[WARNING! DO NOT TAG THREADS TWO OR THREE UNTIL PREP WORK IS COMPLETE!]
Your mission, should you choose to accept it (or just want to lurk and read about it, that's fine too), is to storm the lair of a group of scientists that have kidnapped a pair ofturdsawfulpeoplesinnerstothecore brothers for sinister reasons that no one wants to elaborate on.
First, if you want in, you'll need to speak with our boy Kamille while he's still on the ship getting ready. He's unlikely to take civilians into a fire zone, though. The only reason he's bringing Karamatsu is because he's their brother, so you'll need to make your case with him.
Second, it's not going to be easy getting in. Kamille's Gundam makes it easier for him to protect Karamatsu while they're both inside, but it's likely the cabal of scientists will have some form of defensive perimeter. You'll have to fend off not only the madmen and their advanced weaponry, but the local undead that are drawn in by the commotion of the fight.
Finally, once we actually locate the Matsuno siblings, we'll need to secure their escape and get while the getting's good. Priority one at this stage will be to exit the battlefield intact, but if you want to bloody the cabal's nose a bit, Kamille won't particularly care unless you do something really insanelike use a weapon with the concentrated power of a nuke.
It's going to be dangerous, but that's just part of the fun, no? I can't be everywhere, of course, so if you want to do some inter-team CR building without my input, just keep it in the appropriate section and remember to control yourdeadmenwalkingtargetpracticehumancattle NPCs.

Opening Preperations

"For a bunch of supposed scientists," he spoke to himself as he made his way through to the hangar they kept his Gundam in, "They're not showing that much precaution." He wondered briefly if it was because the planet was so desolate, that they simply hadn't considered that anyone would be capable of tracking them down. "Not that this is going to be easy..."
What Kamille was likely forgetting was that Choromatsu's SOS had been a public post to the network, and so had been his response that he would rescue him. If you want to make sure that you get your shots in at the kidnappers, you'll have to go and convince him now.
no subject
...Because that was completely a thing you did to crazy scientists who kidnapped your brothers. You know.
And so, a strange orange cat (wearing what looked like glasses) on his heels, Ichimatsu made his way awkwardly to Kamille, hands balled into fists at his sides and shoulders hunched around already-horrendous posture. He shuffled, at best, but it was obvious from the notion that Kamille had already met Karamatsu that this was yet another of the Matsuno brothers. ...Even if he looked like he'd never seen a hairbrush in his life.
"Going," he spat, abruptly and without preamble, and then made a sound akin to a balloon losing air as he tried to backtrack and reassemble his sentence. "...I'm going with you," he tried again, at a more reasonable volume. "...those are my brothers they've taken."
no subject
"Alright," That was it, as far as he was concerned... although, "You may want to leave the cat behind." He looked around, wondering where the hell Karamatsu was. He should have been here by now, right? "So, which one are you, then?" He seemed fairly together, compared to Jyushi and Kara.
no subject
Thankfully, Kamille seemed to have a level enough head on his shoulders to roll with the appearance of a fourth Matsuno, and while Ichimatsu didn't react outwardly he was glad for the immediate agreement of his going along. Conflict was something he strictly avoided, seeing as you usually needed to be around another human being for it, and he never had fancied anything remotely resembling socialization. He shoved his hands into the pockets of his track pants, and looked over his shoulder at Nyanko. He frowned, dug one hand into the pocket of his hoodie, and extracted a fuzzy-looking cat toy, which after a moment's deliberation he affixed to some manner of structure, pat the cat on the head, and returned to Kamille with absolutely no change to his facial expression.
"Ichimatsu," he said simply, hoping that would be the end of the small talk.

He blinked at the wrench for a moment and then claimed it without question, an alarming grin sliding across his face.
"If this is your permission to brain the assholes responsible for kidnapping my brothers, consider it well-accepted."

He hoped they were safe. He didn't dare imagine what Jyushimatsu was going through. Patience would win the day here.
The Flare of Combat
1/AT THE SCIENTIST'S EVIL LAIR...
mooksmoronsdeadmenwalkingscientists at their stations, discussing their insidious plans and experiments."Hey, why do we call this place a lair?"
Yup. Super insidious. The other guy looked away from his computer to his compatriot, one eye narrowed at the man who asked the question.
"... Why are you asking?"
"Well, a lair implies a singular building that someone uses as a base of operations, right?"
"I think there's supposed to be a level of seclusion involved, but that's the gist of it, yeah."
"Right, seclusion. Does this place have that?"
A good question! When we zoom out to view the building's exterior, we see that the last bastion of 'experimentation' was repurposed from an old schoolground complex. Multiple electrified fences to keep out the groundpounders surrounded the premises, with turrets on the rooftops to keep the keese and flying viral carriers out of the area. While not bad for a fortified location, it was actually kind of conspicuous.
"We tried for seclusion before, remember what happened to Alpha Base? We can't even look at the forest their hidden in anymore."
"Okay, so since we don't have seclusion, why do we still call this place a lair?"
"Look, the bigwigs decided to call it that. It doesn't mean anything."
"But shouldn't the name of the installation reflect it's surroundings more accurately?"
Before the completely inane conversation could continue, the computer started to give off warning klaxons. "The hell is it this time?" The man turned back to his station, and pulled up the visual feed, spotting a strange, humanoid shape approaching the front gates from a distance "Is that zombie coming up alone?"
The other guy leaned over to stare at the screen. "Wait, its movements are too mechanical for a zombie. The head's too level, if it were a zombie or organic, you'd see some shakiness there." The scientist frowned. "That antennae array looks familliar..." He muttered to himself as he spun back to his own station, typing away to try and discern where he'd seen them before.
"Wait, are we dealing with some kind of robot?" His colleague gaped at the man he had been talking shop with moments before. "Can our defenses handle that sort of thing?"
"That's not just any robot-!"
2/KAMILLE BIDAN, ZETA GUNDAM! IKKIMASU!
Of course, the beauty of the Panoramic cockpit was the fact that it offered 360 degrees of uninterrupted vision. If you spun the chair while the cameras were active, you could almost believe you were floating outside! "You're both acting as eyes behind my head now, so watch my back!" Kamille focused on the grounds ahead. The buildings themselves didn't look fortified, the real problem were those turrets...
Suddenly, he could hear something be screeched on a series of loudspeakers in the schoolgrounds! "IT'S A GUNDAM! IT'S A GUNDAM! IT'S A GUNDAM!" They all shouted. The Newtype bit out a curse. Did they extract that information from Jyushimatsu somehow?
He couldn't ponder it for long, as his intuition told him to boost forward and to the left if he wanted to dodge what was coming! Making the Zeta dive into a roll it was not designed for, he righted the Gundam to see that he dodged a rocket of some kind, watching as the explosive round flew past and went off in the forest. "That thing, it's too big for a human sized rocket launcher, how-?"
That's when he noticed that a series of strange, mismatched, patch-work robots were coming out of the surrounding woods. None of their parts seemed to belong to their original chassis, their frankenstein-manufacture led Kamille to believe that they were made with what was lying around rather than from scratch. But their general shape did make Kamille grip his controls tightly.
"Mobile Suits. These are MS! Where the hell did they get these parts from-!" A flash of intuition had Kamille draw a beam saber to block an overhead blow from a Beam Axe. The monoeye-camera of the slipshod ms that attempted the attack flickered on and off as it tried to press the attack, putting more pressure down on Kamille.
"Tch! I don't know what you people are playing at, but I'll be damned if you keep my friends in there any longer! GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!"
Extracting the (not actually) VIPs

he's strange, they know that much. and they think he's human. but they are scratching their heads a lot. he's participated in most of their experiments willingly, and he's let them take x-rays! but why do the x-rays keep coming out like pictures drawn in crayon? there is what appears to be a baseball in his rib cage, where his heart should be. and don't get them started on the brain scans.
by the time they return him to Choromatsu, the scientists are thoroughly exhausted. Jyushimatsu wouldn't let them cut into him, and he fought off all their advances when they tried to subdue him. so they're just going to let him be for the moment. he hops into the cell, looking as energized as ever]
Hi, Choromatsu-niisan! [he doesn't look any different, doesn't sound upset. he just looks like Jyushimatsu, even though he's been with those scientists for, like, a week]
