Description

With the death of FRED and FRED2 by the hands of Alpha 1, there no stands nothing to strike at the GTVA! Except for... Shivans! On a Plane!

The Shivans have returned and are bent on taking over ancient Earth aero-transports. We've got motherfrackin' Shivans! And there's not a got-damn thing you can do about it!

Just another day again, eh?

YOU

ARE

Alpha 1.

AGAIN

Why wouldn't it be? Get ready for the following things in random order!

  • plotholes on a plane!
  • copyright infringements on a plane!
  • references to Disco Music on a plane!
  • the power of ETAM, the next-next-generation of ETAK on a plane! (ok, maybe not)
  • God on a plane! (MORE God on a plane may still not be God on a plane, your God on a plane may vary.)
  • unexpected twist endings on a plane!
  • MORE on a plane!

Notes

This Campaign is the sequel to Just Another Day and Just Another Day 2: Electric Boogaloo

FREDder's Notes

JAD3 was a headache, but a fun headache. With the exception of the first mission, every mission had a complete redoing. That completely trashed every part of the story I had first wrote down. But alas, I somehow recovered.

Some notes about the missions


WARNING: This article contains spoilers for the following storylines: Just Another Day



  • Mission 1: I was actually going to use the Shivans on a Plane here, which is why SLJ was there. But then I swapped it out for a Sath.
  • Mission 2: Finally a use for the Helios and Myrmidon! Unfortunately this is a mission where you can't use the Myrmidon.
  • Mission 3: This was going to be the Stealth Mission with similar jokes as Mission 5. Instead it went somewhere else.
  • Mission 4: This mission was done entirely for the Giant Robots. And the intro/promo/whatever. Gendo-Basudan is my favorite CommAni I did.
  • Mission 5: Up until the last few hours of finishing the whole campaign, the guest star was Admiral Haberdashery, but since the D&D setting kinda put him way out of place. Instead you got Monty Python.
  • Mission 6: The Shivans on a Plane was going to have a grand entrance, a ingame cutscene and fanfare and everything. But their role got cut (again) and they had 5 seconds of screen time at the very end.
