Yss Wakaba
Runa, the Mini Neko pilot, moved swiftly through the corridors of the YSS Wakaba, her small stature belying the seriousness of her mission. Her cat-like ears twitched as she eavesdropped on the hushed conversations among the crew. The rumors of MEGAMI being hacked spread like wildfire, sending ripples of concern throughout the starship.
As she continued her checks on the shuttles and fighter starships, Runa couldn't shake off the weight of the news. The ST backups corrupted, the entire ST system damaged beyond repair—this was a crisis of unprecedented magnitude. The very core of their ability to navigate through space, revive fallen comrades, and create new STs was compromised.
Her thoughts turned to Thomas Canterbury, the human acting captain whom she had adopted as her son. Runa knew that Thomas held a special place in her heart, and the idea of him facing such a dire situation concerned her deeply. The ship, now stranded far beyond the Yamatai Star Empire's control, added an extra layer of complexity to an already precarious scenario.
Runa pondered her next move. The situation demanded immediate action and a careful approach. She needed to find out more details about the extent of the damage and figure out if there were any possible solutions. The fate of the crew, including Thomas, hung in the balance, and Runa was determined to do everything in her power to help them navigate through this crisis.
With a determined expression on her face, Runa continued her rounds, her mind racing with thoughts of how to address the challenges that lay ahead. The YSS Wakaba and its crew were in uncharted territory, both figuratively and literally, and Runa understood that they needed to pull together to overcome this unprecedented threat.
As Runa continued her tasks, the anger within her simmered. The decision to join the Star Army, a choice she hadn't made willingly, gnawed at her. Her adoptive parents, who couldn't have children of their own, had somehow managed to persuade the recruiters that her gang wasn't a criminal organization. It was a compromise she had made for the sake of those who had become her family, even if it meant being part of an institution she hadn't initially chosen.
Her thoughts circled back to Thomas, the human acting captain whom she had come to care for deeply. The current crisis only fueled her frustration. It was a situation that she, in her petite form, had never anticipated when she reluctantly became a part of the Star Army.
In an attempt to soothe her emotions, Runa affectionately petted Exyrus, her pet drake. The small creature, sometimes her loyal mount, provided her with a sense of companionship and comfort. The rhythmic movement of her hand on Exyrus's scales served as a grounding force amidst the chaos that enveloped the YSS Wakaba.
As she navigated the ship's corridors, the realization struck her—she might not have chosen this life, but circumstances had thrust her into a position where her skills and determination were crucial. The anger transformed into a steely resolve. If the MEGAMI was compromised, and the ship faced an uncertain future, Runa was determined to do everything in her power to ensure the safety of the crew, including Thomas, her adoptive parents, and all those who had become a part of her unconventional family within the Star Army.
