Picture something coming out of a Zentraedi wreck in the jungle...Use the random Minion charts from PFRPG Land of the Damned for some random killers...

Very nice! I like where this went! Great job. Please keep them coming!

Meanwhile...In a GMP-run NERV hospital...

"All the Captain did was pass by the door with his drink, and we saw a spike in her brain activity?"
"Well, it does suggest a treatment approach, but the problem is that we've calculated the dose that would be necessary to bring her out of the come."
"Well, what are you waiting for? Why haven't you administered it already?"
"Because my medical ethics forbid me from applying such a massive dose of a metabolic poison! We're used to dealing in CCs of drugs, and units of benign substances like blood and saline! If we were to infuse her with eighteen pints of alcohol, on the offhand chance it would jumpstart her nervous system, we'd also risk...no, it's absolute...we'd OBLITERATE what's left of her liver! We just can't take a chance like that with her internal organs in the shape they're in!"
"I see, doctor...I defer to your superior ethical judgement."

...so sadly, Misato would have to wait a little longer on her beer....

Poor Misato missing out on her beer! Hopefully she'll have it soon enough. Hmmm put Gendo and Edwards under the care of Doc Mengele.

naw, Misato will be fine. eventually the ASC will encounter the star trek universe, get synthehol, and be able to wake her without killing her liver. only then will Dr. Crusher (or McCoy, which ever time period you prefer) tell them they could have just used some device with a blinky light to wake her..
though this brings an idea to my mind about where the ASC flagship could go...i just need to decide if facing the borg or the dominion would be more entertaining

Noooooooo! :::Rununing away!::: I hate ST crossovers unless ST is nuked from orbit!

Hay! I like ST!

That is great for you! I don't discourage others peoples likes or dislikes. But for me Berman made me hate it it eternally.

i just dislike the stuff B&B worked on. TNG and DS9 were some of the best stuff made, and the last season of enterprise actually wasn't too bad. it was everything esle (IE: B&B products) that stunk. though i discount TOS from that statement, it's just bad because of the time and standards of the period it was made. i mean, space hippies, really?

I love all Trek!

"We have to be prepared for the worst..."
"Yes, but isn't this plan a little ...radical?"
"Open heart surgery was once considered radical...so was brain surgery...and balloon angioplasty...gene therapy...."
"Okay...but cloning her? Is it even FEASIBLE?"
"Maybe...we have only the accounts of the Masters to go on...and what little Zor Prime is willing to tell us..."
"This whole recovered memories thing...I'd sooner believe in good old terrestrial voodoo..."
"Yet the Masters staked an entire campaign on recovered clonal memories....And got more than they bargained for."
"So...if she doesn't come out of a coma..we clone her? And hope that the clone has her...well. 'soul'?"
"Of course, using the process we're familiar with, rather than the NERV process, we'll have to clone at least three of her...better chance of one of them recovering her memories."
"Oh dear god, man! Have you considered the ethical consequences?"
"That's why we're doing the work here, away from the narrow-minded bigotry of Leonard's regime...Can't people let go of the 'cloning is alien and enemy' attitude?"
"No, I don't mean that! I mean, do you really want to run the risk of several clones acquiring the attitudes of this one?"
"I thought that was the idea. Keep her expertise and compassion fo the Children continuing!"
"We might as that, but as I understand it, don't the strongest mental traits survive in the memory RNA? For example, Zor's genuis, his aggression...his moodiness?"
"What are you getting at? Do you mean---?"
"Yes! Do you really want to risk unleasing three MORE alcoholic, bazooka-barfing, directionally challenged, vehicular homicide inclined, people on society!?"

....Deep in the limbo-realm of her coma, Misato had the vague sense that somewhere, somehow, she was being insulted....

'we'll just assign the clones to the 15 ATAC. no one will ever notice"

Dana Sterling: "Uh-uh...we got enough trouble with Phillips and triplets as it is..."

Actual Robotech Southern Cross line:
Karno: "Musica, the Micronians have cast a spell over you!"

...Evil Robotech-Rifts Crossover reply:

Southern Cross Ley Line Walker: "Well hey, there's an idea! Hey, Karno! Wanna see a REAL spell?!......
MAGNUM MORTIS!!!"

True, the Enterprise would get sliced to pieces if they tried to take on the Robotech Masters...unless they shucked Starfleet ethics, and used their transporters to start transporting anti-matter canisters inside the Motherships...

trek shields and hulls can shrug off multi-megaton level hits (photon torpedoes*), but given the sheer size of the masters forces and the number of Kiloton per second and megaton per second anti-ship weapons those ships were packing, i'd have to agree.
(given how badly a bioroid transport managed to decimate a city using a gun no bigger than the anti-ship ones on the city ships, those are definately kiloton per second yeild energy weapons, while the main guns are megaton per second or more at least.

(*from various episodes, we find out that photon torps, even as far back as trek's 2160's, could leave craters several miles across, meaning at least one megaton if not more. an upper limit of a normal torp has been seen in a few Voy episodes to be a few hundred megatons, although that looked to be a specially modified one and a few dozen Mt is likely more common by that time.)

Plus StarFleet has NO idea of how to properly equip their ground forces....
They tend to have to improvize on the spot.
I remember a manga-ized serious of comics doing Star Trek...one in which a giant robot 'fighter' stands on top of the original Enterprise and jams a giant sword in through the top, stopping short of the helm console(thank god for structural integrity forcefields!)....
Now picture that with a few dozen Bioroids mopping the Enterprise(any model)...

over on another forum, sumone pruposed a cross over battle:

SDF-3 Pioneer & SDF-4 Izumo, and a Dozen Ikazuchi

V.

DS9, Enterprise-3 and a Dozen Defiant Class ships.

The Trekie in me Gives it to the Trek team.... but honestly the exact nature of the Izumo's shields are unknown...

Trek Maneuiverability and Shields...courtesy of the power available from the matter/anti-matter reaction...
Anti-Matter is likely more powerful than Protoculture, but more difficult to handle...

However, Anti-Matter doesn't grow on trees, nor does it excite as much paranoia from enigmatic alien beings as does Protoculture....Though that last might not be seen as a plus....

Though I'd love to see Doctor Phlox trying to cultivate Flower of Life in his lab...and an Invid Hive Guard trying to sneak aboard the Enterprise to steal it...

You guys are to good at this!

So do I.

Meanwhile, high in orbit above NGEarth, aboard an REF Ikazuchi-clss carrier patrolling near a disturbed region of space/time, deep in a fighter bay....something...actually several somethings, awaken....

"*Major? Mister Batou? Mistor Seito?...Anybody?*"

Coming Soon: Veritech Days..

LOL Those are great! But I'm really looking forward to the last one with Batou and Seito! That is one of my favorite series! Of course I'm still waiting for the mini series based on "Mutineer's Moon" by David Weber!

REF Tech 1: "You finish running the diagnostics and maintenance on Black Widow Squadron's Alphas yet?"
Tech2: "Yeah....but I got some funny readings on the first comp-diag...had to re-do them."
Tech1: "Funny readings?"
Tech2: "Well, I was checking the onboard actuator systems, and I got this; lemme show you."
Tech1: "*We Want Natural Oil!*? Sounds like somebody's yanking your chain...Anything else show up?"
Tech2: "Nah...bit more extra memory in the backups being used, though."
Tech1: "Don't worry about it...pilots probably keeping their MPEG files there...close it up for the night and go take a break...you've worked overshift as it is."
Tech2: "Thanks, boss."

*THere're gone.*
#Lucky you! What were you thinking? They were starting to get suspicious!#
**I wouldn't worry...You notice there's not an e-brain among them?**
*Yeah, and none of the rest of the mechs have any real e-defenses! It's networked, but it's so -primitive-!*
#I'd still be careful...The pilot interfaces have a nueral link I've never seen before...they may not have e-brains, but they may still be able to link! We need to know more before we risk discovery!#
*awwww...I'm not worried*
**WE should still be careful...no telling what viruses might be floating around that we could catch if we're not careful! It's an entirely different system than what we're used to!**
#Right! Now, next on the agenda! MOving our new bodies!#
&Look! I'm bigger than the rest of you!&
*You're a 'Beta'...and you know what they say about Betas.*
&waaahhhh!!!!&

Love the Dahak Series! Though last I heard the animated version has been stillborn for awhile. The website is still up though, nothing on it, but I suppose there's still hope.

Now that has interesting crossover potential. Hm.. Invid-Achuultani Team-up, prehaps?

Dahak versus the Zentraedi Armada? Close call, but win ultimately goes to the battlemoon...
Against the Robotech Masters? 'What was that on our windshields?"

Though I would LOVE to know how they got there.

Post-2nd GIG, when their AI Mainframe satellite was used to smash an Imperial Americana nuke....The various dimensional fissures around the Tokyo-3 'Gateland' and the big 'Tristar Gate' in orbit tend to sometimes 'sideleak' into other dimensions, especially during solstices...

The Tachikomas' 'brainsatellite' just happened to enter Tokyo airspace at an angle to bring it into corresponding airspace to where Tokyo-3 would be...and since they were transmitting at the time...well, deus ex machina...their entire AI files got drawn into the dimensional warp and somehow ended up in receptive Protoculture systems aboard several REF mecha....

The same 'link' that brought them may or may not be replicatible...it may be a one shot...BUt it's symptomatic of what the NERV branch of the ASC has to deal with, policing the 'Gateland' for odd things that pop up in the region after the solistice...The Southern Cross/GeoFRont typically buttons up during the period, then sends out armed mecha and dog team patrols looking for dimensional flotsom/jetsom...some of which is quite dangerous...

I wouldn't make that bet against Dahak II though, and against Earth with full anti-Achuultani defenses up and the 5th Imperium fleet I'd bet on Earth.

*notices the posts he missed *
Tachikoma brained veritechs! I love it! XD

*brain breaks trying to imagine Tachitechs meeting Dahak* XD

Admiral Hunter: "So what's this about trouble with the Southern Cross administration of the old NERV Geofront?"
Commander Santos: "Well, sir, a few of our Sentinel allies wanted to take a look around, but you know the Southern Crossers....they're a rather xenophobic lot...They didn't want any 'unauthorized aliens' wandering around their fiefdom."
Hunter: "%*&!! I'll speak to Leonard about this!"

Field Marshal Leonard: "%&!!! THat pompous little whelp's throwing his weight around! If it hand't been for us going to Tirol in NG-Space, they'd NEVER have known the place existed! I don't want any more aliens wandering around that place untilwe've got every part of it understood and under our control! Now we have a Karbarrean and Garudan 'inspection junket' wanting to see the site!"
Nova Satori: "Actually I have an idea for getting them off our backs and make them less inclined to go poking around, sir..."
Leonard: "Yes...?"
Satori: "Well...the Akagi woman took multiple stun shots when we apprehended her...she's phsyically all right, but...(whisper, whisper, whisper)"
Leonard"...er?...ah!...I-see-..."

...

....
"KITTY!!"
Ritsuko Akagi tackled the Karbarrean diplomat, having just similarly bounced the still-stunned Garudan emissary, and began nuzzling into the enormous ursinoid's furry pelt.
"SOMEONE! GET THIS MAD WOMAN OFFFFF MEEEEEE!!!!"
Unfortunately, his colleagues were beating a quick retreat back up to the shuttles...

If I had stichs, they would have popped!

ROFLMAO!!! That was a great set of them! And I had heard recently as of late fall of 07 they showed renewed interest in the Dahak series. But it is supposed to come out as a mini series. And after that announcment ADV renewed their website for Dahak.

I loved the tachikoma veritech too!

The Muse Triumvirate are sitting in a lounge, opposite the Ayanami-Hunter 'Triplets'....Musica, Allegra, and Octavia are looking at Rei, Athena, and Nike, who are staring back...


After a while...
Allegra: (sotto voce)"Are you sure these people are supposed to be HUMAN?"
Musica: "Let me get back to you on that one."

" AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Smack!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Aaaaaaaa
WHACK!
AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

(Shot pulls out to show EVA UNits 01 and 02 with enormous batmitten rackets, idly swatting a Bioroid assault craft between them, over a net strung between two Monument City skyscrappers)

(Shot of Field Marshal Leonard in his office, watching the match, and grinning)
Leonard: "I think the Children are going to fit in just fine..."

ROFLMAO!!! Talk about the toast of the town! Hit them harder! Let them fly!

Just got reminded of a Robotech crossover that did happen.
Robotech and ExoSquad.
In the toyline anyway. Invid shocktroopers, Battlepods, Hover tanks, Valkyries, and Terran E-frames all apparently fighting together against some off-packaging threat.

Main thing I can picture at the moment, is a micronized Zentraedi and a NeoSapien sitting in a bar waxing philosophical about being a created warrior race, with the NeoSapien leading in the philosophy department and the Zentraedi reminiscing about being 'full-size' as a counter point.
Can't pick out any dialog except for the Zentraedi retorting, "Yeah, well.. at least we were huge."
"We were popular troops until we turned on our 'masters' as well."
"What? Well yeah, so were we, but I mean HUGE- literally! I could've drop kicked one of those things you ride around in!"
"..."

LOL Now that would be a bar fight to watch from inside of an armored veritech.

Whereupon the Gamilon at the end of the bar pipes up and snorts "We had the whole exotic blue skinned look WAAAAYYYYY before either of you jerks came along!"
...That's when the Blue Meany threw his drink at the Gamilon....

"NO, Mister Aida! These are military vehicles! Not toys for dumbarse little jerks like you to play around with! Now stay right there while we contact your parents! I'm sure they'll have something to say to you once we tell them how you scaled two fences, dug under another, and tried to go joyriding in a Battloid! You're lucky we don't shoot you on general principles!"

"Awwww, noooo!!! I just wanted to seeee!!!"

(Meanwhile, across the base)

CRUMP-CRUMP-CRUMP-FWWWOOOSSSHHHH!!!!-CLANKTHUD!-CRUMP-CRUMP-CRUMP-

"AAAAYYYAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!....THIS IS SO FUNNNN!!!!"

(TC Battloid goes leaping and jet-jumping across a NERV parking lot, flies up over several walls, and goes running all out down the street)

"Okay, Lieutenant Ibuki...I think that's enough for now...You pass basic mecha orientation...you can turn back around and head back to the garage....Lieutenant Ibuki? Helllooo..?"

"BUT THIS IS SO MUCH -FUN-!!! WHY DO THE CHILDREN DISLIKE THIS SORT OF THING?! THIS IS A BLAST!!!"

"Oh dear...Caliban, Foxhound? You wanna go retrieve the newbie?"

I think someone is going through there 2nd childhood.

It's always the quiet ones....

Meanwhile...Back at the lounge...

Octavia:(Whispering) "There! Did you see THAT? I'm sure the one on the end BLINKED!"

It is amazing how the simle things can be so funny sometimes.

-Meanwhile: The Dark Side of Evangelion....

A massive dark room, a mile wide....two soldiers in full armor stand on a rusted platform overlooking several deep pits and trenches....

GMP Soldier 1: "Place gives me the creeps...Sure we can't just nuke this place? It would make me feel better..."
GMP2: "I'm thinking of putting in a request for Father Donahue to come down to exorcise this place....Maybe it will make it a bit easier to breath..."
GMP1: "Just one priest? Sure he's up to it? Look at the SIZE of this place?"
GMP2: "Father Donahue sang Requiem for the remains of San Diego, San Francisco, and Los Angeles after the Rain of Death...He had to preside at the graveside of millions there, remember? This....He's of the generation who can deal with this sort of thing..."
GMP1:(still looking at the EVA graveyard)"Still...You better get a rabbi, a mullah, and a few monks down here for fire support...there's a whole lot of bad karma that needs to be laid to rest here..."

Just saw the episode where the EVA Graveyard was revealed...Gave me the creeps....and emphasized the intense emotional bond if you could call it that the two universes might share....Both worlds have suffered catastrophes that have left the global pysche scarred...except that in Robotech, the people KNOW the truth, and know their enemies to be mortal....In Evangelion, it's conspiracies stretching back into the past, in need of an mechanized crowbar to pry open and expose to the light...

"Lieutenant Satori! We have reason to believe the double-agent Rougi Kaji is loose somewhere inside the complex."
"And How did THAT happen?!"
"WE believe he managed to get ahold of a spare set of GMP armor and faked his way past the guards while they were still trying to plug all the security holes in this place.."
"Great, and we just created one....and we can't very well ask everybody to take off their helmets without compromising readiness, can we? Just one thing to do!"
*ZZZIIPPP*
(whisper from behind): "Well...hellooo nurrrsseee...where have you been all my life...Oh shi---"
*DOGPILE*
THUMP! POUND!CUFF! DRAG!
"Great work, Lieutenant, how did you know that was going to work?"
(zipping up her blouse again)"My Private Doppler Radar went off..but I had to confirm it...And having a reputation for ripping off men's testicles comes in handy...No Southern Cross trooper would of DREAMED of obviously ogling my cleavage like that, so it had to be our over-libidoed Mister Kouji."
