Port Jiyuu
Ryu-Mizumitsu Complex
Being Taisho Ketsurui-Motoyoshi's assigned Close Protection Specialist and Overseer for CPS Detachment 501 had some unforeseen challenges for the Shosa. For one, the Taisho's position within her clan really didn't require his presence with her humble "chef" always being around. So he got to spend a lot of his time within his cabin's segmented office monitoring the ongoings of the ship as there really wasn't station on the ship for the Close Protection Specialists. At least he didn't have to go far when off duty.
When he was not monitoring the ship, he was training the other Close Protection Specialists. Thankfully most appreciated that there was someone looking out for them and it motivated them be in their best form for their charges. He could feel the energy from them when they were pitted against each other in their CRIED sparring lessons and daily planning training.
While some might find it strange that Close Protection Specialists were learning a SAINT combat style, it was very effective at controlling and disabling those that attempt harm on their charges quietly and effectively. It also helped them focus their minds in planning out the day-to-day movement plans, looking out for spots where someone could attempt to corner them.
But now it was time to take leave off the YSS Battle of Ayenee Capital City and pay a visit to Asagumo City on Port Jiyuu. It was not like he had much of a choice, it was the only real travel destination that didn't involve looking at industrial/asteroid rocks all day. But the main reason for the choice was to pay a visit to the Ryu-Mizumitsu complex located on one of the lower levels of the city.
While there were no Ryu-Mizumitsu Clan members living at the complex at the moment, it was used at the local headquarters for the Mizumitsu Clan should it ever be decided to have new Lily-Type Artificial Nepleslian members created there to carry the clan into the frontier. As a Mizumitsu journeyman with the potential of becoming a full samurai, he had to make regular reports to his assigned mentor: Mizumitsu Hye-yeong.
A purple haired female Nepleslian of 180cm in height and looked like she was 70kg, Hye-yeong was generally happy to hear from him. Even if she tried to mask it with a sense of stoicism that volumetric communications help mask as you can only see the face. But today she was especially flustered in the face as she was flanked by a younger woman in an Advancer Enterprises lab coat as they approached Mikael waiting in the lobby.
Taller than Hye-yeong, the dark brunette had violet colored eyes and a surprisingly athletic build for a medical scientist of some type. But the main distinguishing feature that stood out to him were her pointed ears. Clearly not Elven, they could perhaps past as half-Elven if they were not much larger than what you typically see with half-Elven individuals. He was curious as to what she was, but it would have to wait for later.
"Ah Harris-shosa, while we typically do not give tasks to journeymen I need you to escort Ms. Li here back into Asagumo City, preferably Advancer's Research hospital located at the RyuK Regional HQ." Hye-yeong said when she stopped at a friendly, but respectable distance from Mikael. "She is done with her work here and missed the transport with the others because she was oogling the architecture."
"I wasn't oogling! I was pointing out that someone could have use the spaces within here more efficiently. For instance the large space on level 2 could be used to install 10 Inception Cloning Vats or 2 Genesis Bioforges with plenty of space for the require synthesis lab. Or an actual sauna and bath. How do you not have a sauna here!?" Ms. Li said when saw an opportunity to insert herself into the conversation. She was about to say something else, but then she started to take a long look at Mikael as she had to look up to see all of him. She just kind of stopped talking when she finally looked at Mikael's face. He wasn't smiling, but she acted like she had seen a ghost.
"Very well, what about this month's report on my self-studies on Mizumitsu Takashi's writings?" Mikael responded back, picking on the hint that the woman had outlived her welcome. He looked down at her and her puzzling facial expressions.
"That can wait, I am sure you didn't come all the way here to see me just for that. Call me when you are free Harris-shosa so we can re-schedule the meeting." she said before giving him a thankful bow of her head.
"Very well then Mizumitsu-sama." He then looked at Ms. Li more intensely (but professionally). "Ms. Li this way please." Mikael said as he was beckoning her towards the exit. He wasn't expecting to do his job off the ship, but "that is life".
Ryu-Mizumitsu Complex to Asagumo City
The local station for the Port Jiyuu's internal tram was not far from the complex. Towering over the majority of the individuals, he had gotten used to the stares from others when he makes his appearance. One male Minkan child looked at him and quickly clamored to get his mother's attention.
"Mommy, mommy! Why is there an ID-SOL action man wearing a Star Army uniform!? I thought they were only in Nepleslia?!" Mikael just looked over from the corner of his eye when he heard it, but didn't make any other actions in regards to them.
Ms. Li did over hear it and looked up towards Mikael. "Seems you make quite the impression on people Shosa." she said with a sheepish grin on her face. He simply stared her down which caused that grin to quickly disappear from his face. "Wow, you are a killer of fun."
