ENDGAME PART 3: The Fate of the World

wrmodsWe're approaching the final battle, not just against Esthar or a group of offworld-haters, but ultimately against the setting's truest and most implacable foe: Time Compression.
The secrets of Time Compression, according to Laguna, lie not within the laboratory set far on the outskirts of Esthar for study of that mysterious force; the data, devices and resources needed to control it have all been transferred to the infinitely more defensible private labs of Dr. Odine, deep in the heart of Esthar City. In other words, Garden alone has the entire might of Esthar to fight through.
This week has been and will be spent enacting Laguna's very... Laguna-ish plan, smashing up the OCS with the Gardens. Through some stroke of good fortune, all evidence will suggest that the plan is working as intended! Esthar forces will be spread out along the border, guarding workers as they attempt to repair the OCS and install Time Compression Cannons to ward Balamb Garden away. Meanwhile, the whole of Garden - SeeDs, Instructors, the few cadets who have not been withdrawn - is primed for action. Once the Gardens have done all the damage they can, Laguna will order the strike. These next few days are the last chance you have for personal threads outside of battle, so if you want to start them, start them now.
Next week, beginning Monday, the Assault on Esthar City begins, and four teams will mobilize separately to advance on Esthar City in the two airships and the two Gardens. From an OOC perspective, that means the ratio of passing time will change: Monday till the end of the battle will last only one IC day.
In preparation for this, we are asking everyone to divide into four teams, one for each vehicle in B-Garden's control: the Ragnarok, the Chaotix, Galbadia Garden, and Balamb Garden itself. These four teams will each receive a thread in the final battle log. Only one of them will have a chance at being successful; one OOC week into the battle, we will randomly select which team this is. The rest of the teams will have the honor of fighting the good fight, doing their best against impossible odds, and keeping themselves going as long as possible in their efforts... and so long as they put up a good fight, their efforts might not be in vain.
To sign up for a team, please comment to the relevant thread below. As ever, you may also use the rest of this post for questions, remarks and final plotting. Mod plotting questions may be directed here.
We will aim to have the final battle log wrapped up by April. After the battle is ended, there will be one final log for the game as it officially stands, and then... we will bid you, and it, a fond farewell. The communities will remain open as a musebox for you to play in, if you still so desire. Wherever you or your characters go, you will always have a home here.
