"Huh? You got to be kidding me..." Takatora muttered as he scrolled through the event list. None of the currently available events were suitable for the practice he was looking for. They all utilized Space or Colony areas, where there would be no ocean or other body of water to make use of the Scale System. True, the Hayabusa had a Flight Unit it could equip for aerial and space mobility but that wasn't what he wanted to test. He'd already known about the Flight Unit and used it before. What he wanted was a good aquatic mission, but none seemed to be available right now.

"Hm, well, the Scale System will have to wait. May as well focus on the Trans-Phase Armor and the Dragon Sword first. This one will have to due." he chose a base defense mission. NPC GM's would be deployed in waves to capture the Zeon-controlled Side 7. Players entering the mission would be able to sortie as either Zeon or Federation. Zeon players would be tasked with holding back the GM's until the timer ran out while Federation players would be tasked with making their way to the Zabi Manor and attempting to capture it before the timer ran out. It was an open mission, meaning it was possible other players might choose to jump in mid-battle, but that didn't bother Takatora. He chose the Zeon side, deciding that that would be most efficient way of testing the defensive capabilities of the Hayabusa's Trans-Phase Armor and then started the mission.

After launching, Takatora found himself deep within Side 7, having spawned in a defensive spot near the Zabi Manor. A computerized voice counted down from 5 before announcing the start of the mission, "Time to to see how much punishment this Trans-Phase Armor can take, bring it on Feddies." he moved from his position to slightly more well-hidden vantage point after drawing the Dragon Sword. It wasn't ever in his nature to go looking for enemies, but instead let them come to him. If he waited, a GM or two would show up soon enough.

Back in the lobby, a [url=https://78.media.tumblr.com/d06b4d32c35552a864e876282455af95/tumblr_omnv2lPpHu1uvqf10o1_1280.jpg]black clad player[/url] logged in. He strode over to the registration desks to look for a battle of some kind to fight. That was all GBN and Gunpla were good for as far as he was concerned. Gunpla were just another weapon, and GBN was just another battlefield. And he intended to dominate it. Nothing caught this particular player's interest. So far everything seemed boring and dull, hardly anything that would satisfy him.

"Hm?" he raised an eyebrow as a name finally caught his eye. It wasn't a highly populated mission, only a single player was taking part. Normally this would be considered a waste of time. But it was the name, the player's name and more importantly the name of the Gunpla attached to them that made this interesting. What was at first a bored-looking grimace became a wicked grin as the player in black registered himself to join the mission... on the Federation side. The actual objectives were meaningless to him. Whether the colony was conquered or not made little difference. He had only one target, and before this was done he would make that target suffer and scream in agony.
