Location: Ketsurui Fleet Yard, Kyoto Yamatai
Time: 0600 hrs
The Aeon sat in the repair bay as the last of the technicians walked away from the warship. All of the repair arms and cranes had been stowed and the morning sunlight glistened off the dew on the hull. Katae stood for a moment at the ramp leading into the bay. She brushed her brown lock of hair back as she surveyed the ship. From where she stood the hull and the paint job looked perfect. Before her were two Star Army Security personnel restricting access to the warship. They were present at her request in light of the recent attempt on her XO.
As she approached the sentries, they came to attention. "Morning Taisa, identification please." said the brown haired, male Yamataian Heisho.
"Morning Heisho. Ise Katae, Taisa, First Expeditionary Fleet, Commander of the Aeon." She said presenting her identification.
After a moment of comparing her credentials against the list of authorized personnel the sentry handed her back her identification and bowed. "You are cleared for access ma'am.
Katae returned the bow and walked across the bay with her bag in hand. She let her eyes run across the Aeon ensuring that at least externally all things were proper. She then walked up the ramp into the cargo bay.
"Welcome aboard Ise Tasia. All repairs have been completed to specifications, and the last of our provisions should be delivered in one hour." was Eternity's greeting.
"Glad to be back aboard Eternity, too much cloak and dagger and drama for my liking this time. Notify the crews to return to their ships in one hour, and mission briefing will be held in two hours." she answered crossing the bay.
For the next thirty minutes Katae traversed the corridors of the ship. She stopped and visually inspected each room except for the quarters. This was her tradition, just her and the ship. Hard to believe its been almost two years, since the Aeon was assigned to me. We have seen plenty of battle, too much sometimes. We were supposed to be doing simple exploration, a respite from war and devastation. And every mission we have gone on, someone or something conspires to try and destroy my ship and crew. she thought as she entered her cabin.
"Eternity, please notify me when Kim-Shoi is aboard." she said and started unpacking.
Meanwhile Eternity sent the following message to all squadron personnel.
