Port Red Queen, Port 75 Arrivals Gate
The 26 day trip from Port Jiyuu in the Kosuke Sector to Kumo no Kagayaki Station in the Kikyo Sector was a longer experience as a "civilian". One a military ship, there were always tasks to complete and missions to accomplish. But on the Colonial Hummingbird Two, there was just entertainment to keep him preoccupied just enough from becoming bored.
But the experience had given him enough time to get caught up on the happenings of the Star Army Rikugun once again. Downloading every bit of material he could access from the Kyoto War College, Mikael tried to learn just about everything he thought was going to help him get through the courses. Despite being in the Star Army of Yamatai for 15 years, he was being directed to a course intended for individuals much younger than him. Made him wonder why he was being sent, but he wasn't going to think too much into it.
He could understand it from a certain point of view. From a command experience, he could only be comparable to a Battalion CO. Being a Close Protection Specialist Overseer had a greater degree of responsibility despite only managing around 63 individuals while he was working at the Rikugun Headquarters. But experience commanding infantry was even less. So to the Expeditionary Warfare Course he goes.
The trip from Kumo no Kagayaki Station to Port Red Queen was far less eventful as it was only a couple hyperspace jumps and a sub-light burn to the Fujiko Development Corporation's Port Red Queen acting as the main port of entry for the system's traffic. Hefting his duffel bags carrying his belongings, he made his way off the Ryu Shipping Line's Xuanwu Shuttle used for commuter line and proceeded out of the Docking Bay.
"Harris-Chusa!" a voice called out towards him as he made his initial scan of the concourse. His attention immediately snapped towards the source of the voice and his eyes widened slightly. A 145cm human eared Joto Heisho of Lianjia stood by a pillar with a FARS drone hovering next to her. The admin mint paneled woman just looked at him with the same level of awkwardness Mikael was displaying now that he had his full attention. The two just stared at each other for a few minutes, with people passing by the two SAoY servicemembers like they didn't exist to them. The massive height difference between the two made the scene like one of those romantic comedies playing on his trip.
"Before you ask, it was Mizumitsu-taisho's. So orders are orders." she finally said, breaking the awkwardness between the pair. There was no introduction needed between Mikael and the woman: Mizumitsu Ingrid. Daughter of the Rikugun Chief, the two have a deeper connection thanks to a chance encounter that ultimately resulted in their own daughter: Mizumitsu Hiroshiko.
"Well nice to see you again Mizumitsu-heisho. I figured you would have jumped to the dark side like I did by now." Mikael replied back at, prompting a suppression of the urge to roll her eyes at the comment. They were both in uniform and she had to maintain the appearance of professionalism among the civilian population. But he was going to pay for that one later.
"In due time." she simply said before she then assumed her usual stern demeanor. "Grace Shosho sends her regards and welcomes you once again to the 75th Legion. A lot has changed within the 75th Legion since you were a Giretsu Centurion. I am sending the details to you now." Ingrid said before a notification of a message within his inbox flashed within his augmented reality HUD.
"Right this way sir. There is a shuttle awaiting us in Docking Bay 15 that will take us straight to Rikugun Base Ukmirt and then onward to the Rikugun University." she continued politely motioning Mikael to follow her, the FARS drone scooting along silently.
Mikael looked around at the interior of the concourse for a moment. The station definitely had a Nepleslian feel to it, very utilitarian with sharp angles in everything compared to the more rounded edges you see with Yamataian architecture. His eyes looked over towards a woman with silver hair and pink eyes in the process of cleaning a section of the concourse as the pair walked by. The three hexagons of the Fujiko Development Corporation on the back of the woman’s service uniform stood out to him as did all the volumetric posters of various Nepleslian Red corporations advertising products.
There was a volumetric propaganda poster done by the FDC that particularly caught his attention. There was a clear militaristic feel to it with a pair of athletic man and woman wearing cold weather gear together holding on to a flag bearing the corporation’s insignia on an onyx field and a thin maroon bar at the top and bottom edges of the flag. Staring towards the stars of the night sky there was a slogan at the bottom: “Fight for your unit, your corporation, our path forward!” After a few moments on display, it then transformed into an advertisement for Bravemart with an attractive Nepleslian Red seductively trying to get you to buy the rifle for sale.
Mikael simply sighed to himself, this was going to be a long shuttle ride despite merely being in high orbit.
