While the conventional forces raced around the Angel, Niki charged forward and sliced one of the arm tentacles cleanly in half!  Red blood spewed out over the battlefield while the creature stared Niki down in what almost looked like amusement, rather than pain.  The creature's tentacle lanced out at Unit-04's left arm, attacking with no regard whatsoever for its own safety.<br/><br/>Biggs and Katrina piloted their VTOLs deftly into position around the Angel, while carefully feeding every bit of ballistic telmetry they could harvest off radar.  Meanwhile, Wedge's tank squadron fired an ineffective round of tank blasts into the Angel, not even making it glance at them while its AT field threw off the attack.  Wedge was curiously silent during the whole affair, as his men simply grimly kept firing.<br/><br/><br/><br/>(If the Angel's attack is not dodged or parried, it deals 9 Impact damage, penetration 8, causing Unit-04's left arm to lose 6 wounds)<br/>(Evangelion Units 00 and 01 get +30 bonuses to their next ranged attack, in place of the normal range bonuses)<br/><br/>Initiative:<br/><br/><strong>4 Rounds of N2 Power Remain</strong><br/><br/>Gazardiel: 13<br/>Ragnall: 12<br/><del>Kelly: 10</del><br/>Maria: 10<br/>Niki: 4<br/>Conventional Forces: 0<br/><br/>
