Once the 7th Squadron arrived in the Yamatai star system, they proceeded to the capital of the Empire. Once they entered orbit, the Aeon released the Eucharis to allow it to maneuver into the 2nd dock. The Aeon docked briefly with the Ikoi starbase to allow the Eucharis crew members to enter their dock.

Katae left the Aeon briefly to meet with Hanako, and returned to the ship, once she arrived she flew the ship over to the Kyoten, the 7th Dock. Once docked to the starbase, she made her way to the Power Armor bay, she picked up the intercom handset and punched the ship wide channel.

"Attention all hands, this is Ise-Taii. All hands report to the Power Armor Bay immediately for mission briefing." She then hung up the handset and waited for the rest of the crew to arrive.

Tsubei Kyoka hovered into the room, unwilling to be late to the second meeting with her new captain. She entered the room and bowed to Katae, greeting, "Ohaiyo, Ise-taii!" The Neko went to attention afterward, waiting for her new crewmates. I wonder what they're like? . . She thought as he ears twitched in anticipation.

Trowa entered the power bay and bowed to the Taii. He knowtest another Nekovalkyrja that he had not been intorduced to. Not surpriseing, as he had barely been on this ship. Trowa stepped forward and intorduced himself. "Hello, I'm Yamamoo-Hei, but you can just call me Trowa. I'm new here so I'm trying to get to all the other crewmembers." Trowa then turned to back to the Taii and asked, "Ma'am, could I speak to you a moment? It's about my performance during the last rescue mission."

Katae turned Trowa, "Certainly Yamamoo-Hei, although typically I do not conduct performance reviews in public. What about your performance has you concerned?"

Meanwhile, several of the senior members of the Aeon entered the power armor bay. Yani, Gi, and Josea and fell in line at parade rest. Behind them were Sachi, Kim, and Hisa who mirrored the Juni's.

Trowa nodded. "I just wanted to make sure that I did my job right. And to know if there was anything I could do to improve." He paused a moment then continued. "I take this job very seriously and want to do my best."

Already in the PA Bay, Hoshi Yukimura merely had to step out of his Mindy -- he had had his clothes on when entering the thing -- to proceed out of the Bay and toward the Medibay: If there were wounded, they would be there. He had permission from Haruhi-Juni, and if the Taii had a problem with him leaving... He would be told so, that was all.

He barely took notice of the new girl -- the small Neko whose face he didn't recognize -- as he walked past and out. Introductions (actually, a physical of all the crew was more of a priority: He could talk to them all then, if they cared to.) could wait until later.

After she conducted a review of the Aeon's armoury situation and concluded that it was not yet up to her demanding standards Haruhi put together a quick wish-list and forwarded it Eternity. From there it was on the move again and back down to the PA bay to join the Taii's briefing.

Haruhi entered the bay and fell in alongside the rest of the crew as she gave the requisite bow to the captain. “List is with Eternity, Taii, 'part from that everything's ready to rock and roll.”

Katae surveyed the crew as more of them came into the power armor bay. ”Eternity, order sixteen of everything Haruhi-Juni put on her list.” She sent telepathically to the MEGAMI.

Katae turned to Haruhi, “Glad to hear that Juni.” Katae walked to the center of the bay. “Part of the Eucharis’s last mission was to prevent the Mishhuvurthyar from obtaining teleportation technology. Unfortunately, when the Eucharis was boarded, the culprits Nekovalkyrja working with the NMX not only took the power armor teleportation units the Eucharis got off the Elysian starbase, but the ones the Eucharis carried as well. Needless to say the NMX gaining teleportation technology would be extremely bad. We are going after the squadron of NMX ships that left with the units.”

Katae paused, “Timing is essential which is why we are doing a quick turn around. The Eucharis managed to get their hyperspace vector. We are going to be heading to their destination, to hopefully intercept them before they jump again. If they have jumped we will use our sensors to track them. When we catch up to them, we will attack and disable the ships, by targeting their drives and power systems. Once they are disabled we will deploy power armors to board the ships. The Vigilant will fly along with the Diligent scanning for the materials for the teleportation units. Once they locate the units; the power armor team in the Diligent will use the boarding module to enter the ship. Toranaga-Hei will modify two of the Type 30 Science scanners to look for those specific materials to guide you once on the ships. The mission is simple, get in, retrieve the units, and get the hell out. Anything that moves aboard the NMX vessel is a fair target.”

”Ise-Taii, order has been placed however some items were limited availability. They will arrive shortly. Eternity informed Katae. “Master at Arms, your requested items will be arriving shortly. Once they are onboard we will get underway.”

“Anyone have any questions?” Katae asked.

[EDITED]

Changing his mind at the last moment, Hoshi fell in line with everyone else. Checking up on the Medibay could come later.

Trowa spoke up, "Ma'am, request permission to return to the bridge. I want to run over some of the recordings of our last skirmish and become more familiar with the ship before we head out again."
