Event - Jovian Lizard attacks!
Boom.
Tinktinktinkchunk.
BOOM.
[You know those little yellow drones and bigger purple AI-controlled cruisers that attack on occassion, believed to come from somewhere around Jupiter? Small groups of them are assaulting the White Chalice, the Nadesico, and the rest of the flotilla heading for Mars. It's only small, annoying attacks at a time - the Nadesico is basically invulnerable to the unconcentrated attacks due to its Distortion Field and Phase Transition Engines, which provide nigh-unlimited power in a vacuum, but the other ships are rather more vulnerable, so people will occasionally need to sortie and fight the enemy robots.]
[From now until the mission "Sort of Like a Fateful Decision", assume the ships are being attacked every few hours by small groups of enemy drones. You may make posts fighting them or reacting to this in any other way until then, or even tag here if you like.]
[Enemy stats:
Grasshopper drone: small yellow insect-like robots with machine guns and a charging tackle attack. They can also hypothetically hijack unmanned mecha, so don't let them into the hangar.
Dragonfly cruiser: large purple craft with multiple laser cannons, including large beam guns on their bows. Shielded with Distortion Fields that can repel unfocused attacks, especially energy and gravity attacks.]
[Also I couldn't find any pictures of the Jovian mecha, so]
