With the Aeon's help, the Eucharis safely made it back to Yamatai, where it docked in the squadron's Ikoi-class Light Starbase. Technicians from Ketsurui Fleet Yards were standing by when the ship arrived, and as soon as the ship was "cooled down" they went to work removing most of the of damaged front end and began replacing the damaged portions of the hull and frame with new parts.

Hanako breathed a sigh of relief once the repair crews took over. Her crew would have at least one day to relax before heading out again, and she remembers there was a new crew member waiting to join them. Stripping off her AMES suit, the Taisa returned to her cabin (checking first to make sure the Ikoi had put the air back in it) and changed into a civilian outfit consisting of black leggings and a cream-colored sweater. She then waited at the main docking port (on the ship's port side).

Takeyu sat down onto a chair within his cabin. He had no other place to be at, so he figured that no one would mind for the time being. He had made certain the area had oxygen before slipping out of his AMES.

Sweat rolled down his face and onto the ground. "That was hard-day," he said to himself and let out a sigh of relief. He was glad to be alive despite everything that had happened, and he was glad to be on a ship that had such amazing luck.

"The Eucharis, huh... I hope we serve together for a mighty long time," he smiled gently and placed his hand on the wall. Though he couldn't see them, he could hear the starbase's technicians as they were fixing up the ship.

His mind replayed everything that had transpired, him meeting the Taisa onboard Veritas, then coming aboard and being told to help one of the other techs.

After which the battles started and he had been thrown into the thick of it. As he sat there pondering the various out-comes, he came to one very obvious conclusion. "I survived, and that's all that matters," he said and stood up.

He wanted to continue repairs, but his hands were pained with small bruises from handling the panels and they throbbed with small bits of pain. Walking into the nearby bathroom, he took a towel that was still on its rack, despite the ship being tossed around earlier. He wiped his face clean and then ran the towel down the legnth of his arms and legs.

When he was done he set the towel aside and looked into the mirror; which in this case was slightly cracked along the bottom and through the middle - it caused a double image of himself to appear. "Well, I guess I can just be thankful," he said as he turned his head from side to side and nodded satisfactory to himself.

Taking a look around the room he nodded to himself and headed out of the guest quarters. He then headed to the ships port-side, mostly to enjoy the view and get a breather.

As he walked in his eyes fell upon the captain. "T-Taisa!" he said in a slightly surprised tone. "Did you want me to leave ma'am?" he asked her carefully.

Sune entered the Ikoi Starbase where the Eucharis was being repaired. He walked with the assistance of a medical cane. Like the Eucharis I find myself needing to complete repairs. he thought. Wearing a uniform supplied by the Aeon crew he walked to where the ship was. First order of business, find the Taisa, and find out what her orders are. he thought.

Finding the Taisa was actually easier than Sune had expected as she was near the hatch. He came to attention, and performed a careful bow. "Permission to come aboard ma'am."

Ramiro sighed with relief as he shuttle touched down. He took a second to catch his breath before standing up and heading off the shuttle. He made his way through the Aeon until he approached the exit ramp. He made his way off the ship and stopped, wondering what he should do. Looking down at his torn uniform, he decided to pick a new one up from his cabin, and make sure that nothing was damaged. He approached the ship in time to get there just after Sune. Ramiro bowed to the Taisa before stepping forward and saying, "and I Taisa," adding to what Sune had said.

"Permission granted," Hanako told Ramiro and Sune. She looked to Takeyu. "The station commander says dinner for us should be ready in 30 minutes, and that we are welcome to use the guest quarters and other facilities as we please. In the meantime, I need to attend to my recent purchases and some guests that came along with them."

"Thank you Taisa," Ramiro said as he bowed one last time and headed into the ship. He made his way to his quarters, happy that they were still in one piece, and grabbed a new uniform. He took off his AMES and quickly changed into the new uniform. He then switched his belt and holster over to the second uniform, holstering his NSP as he finished. The last thing he did before he left was reach into his trunk and pull out the Elysian SMG that he had acquired on the last mission. He looked over it to make sure it hadn't gotten damaged; pulled out the clip and looked it over before slamming it back into place. Satisfied that it hadn't been damaged he said happily to himself, "I love this gun," before placing it back into the trunk and exiting the ship.

"Thank you Taisa," Takeyu said with a curteous bow of his head. He looked over at the ship and smiled slightly, he was hoping to get back onboard sometime soon and get back to work - not repairing stuff made him feel out of place.

With the operation finally over as the ship docked at the starbase, Nika made sure the repair crews fully took over before heading to the living quarters of the ship, which survived the attack. With the life support kicking in, she removed her AMES and gave herself a quick wipedown with a wet towel to refresh herself. Her burn wounds had recovered much, but her breathing is still heavy, which hurts slightly with each breath. With that done, she donned her uniform and decided to look for Hanako, who had left the bridge earlier.

Nika found the Taisa at the port side alright, however, on seeing Sune and Ramiro as well, she felt very uneasy, not sure how to approach them after that near fatal incident. Overhearing about the dinner, she quickly stood aside as Ramiro went passed her without much notice, now only leaving Sune as Hanako left to settle some of her personal matters.

Gathering enough courage, she was about to exit the ship, when Sune was already up on the walkway and Ramiro was coincidentally behind her...

"Jalen Heisho... Valencia Heisho..." Nika stammered as the trio regrouped, "I'm terribly sorry for what had happened..." She looked down, ears drooping as she twiddled her thumbs...

Sune turned to face Nika, "Himeya-Hei..." Sune paused to consider how to put the Neko at ease. "We were all caught up in the battle. Doing our best to try and stop the Mishhuvurthyar from getting away. The only thing damaged was the power armor. I believe the expression is no harm no foul." Sune gave her a wink.

"Now if you will excuse me, I wish to go to my quarters to change into a proper fitting uniform. I will see you shortly aboard the station. First round of drinks is on you?" Sune said with a chuckle, and resumed his travel to his cabin.

Once in the cabin he shared with Ramiro he removed the air cast and set about to changing into a clean properly fitting uniform. He looked at the NSP 27 that he acquired during the prior mission. I must check with the Taisa regarding policy for acquired weapons. he thought. With the cast back in place he surveyed himself in the mirror. He picked up his Uno sunglasses, and his ICP. He then made his way out of the Eucharis and in search for the dining facility on the starbase.

"Nika, everything is fine. No one is hurt and you were just doing what you thought best. Now do me a favor and don't worry yourself over it." He descended the walkway and stopped at the bottom, calling out behind him, "Although a free round of drinks does sound good." He waited for Sune to exit the ship before turning to him and asking, "So do you know where the mess hall is?"
