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!*
• Unexpected twist endings on a plane!
• AND MORE on a plane!

* - God on a plane may still not be God, your God may vary.

Notes

This Campaign is the sequel to Just Another Day and Just Another Day 2: Electric Boogaloo. A version of this campaign, compatible with the 3.6.12 mediavps, is released as part of the Just Another Day Collector's Edition. A sequel, Just Another Day Fourever, was planned.

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.
