ON: YSS Senbu
It was half-past-six in the morning; the blond-haired Shoi in charge of the Pride Wing’s training was in the armor bay. He had been there since five-thirty doing his morning exercises in the bay in case any recruits decided to show up early. "One hundred thirty-two, one hundred thirty-three, one hundred, thirty-four," Akira counted each rep as he lowered his upper body so his face would be level with the floor then used his arms to push himself up. What was the most daunting however was that the Shoi was at a diagonal slant towards the floor, his feet were hooked in the rungs of one of the ladders in the bay used to reach the upper half.
Kuriko rolled over and looked at Maya. "Ne... Maya. We gotta get up. We're gonna be late if we don't hurry. Akira-shoi will be mad," Kuriko said groggily before pulling herself out of bed. The Neko moaned unhappily as she searched through her closet for a clean uniform and began to dress.
Maya was slowly waking up as Kuriko was rolling over. "Alright... alright... give me a second!" Maya was rubbing the sleep out of her eyes as she walked over to her duffel to change into uniform.
Nyoko entered the bay timidly, she did not know what to expect today. Peering around the bay, she spied the Shoi exercising. Well at least he keeps active, she thought, looking around for Shunrai, her power armor, then started to slowly make her way toward it. Maybe the Shoi would ignore her and leave her be as she examined the armor.
Mizu rolled out of her bed, grabbing what she needed for the showers and headed out in her undergarments to the shower facilities on the deck she was on, Deck 19.
"One hundred fifty," Akira counted off his last push up as before pushing up with a forceful spring and gained just enough air to place his boots on the floor and stand straight. He took a few moments to stretch out his muscles afterwards and approached the timid pilot. He pushed a hand through his hair and glanced over at her machine. "You take good care of it, and it'll take good care of you," he commented as she examined her Mindy, then made his way over to a small counter a few paces away. From there he seemed to be intent finishing his coffee and reading over a data-pad.
As soon as Kuriko was completely dressed she started toward the armor bay. "See ya later," the Neko called to Maya as she left the room. After a short walk and a brief ride in the lift, Kuriko found herself entering the power armor bay where Pride Wing was stationed. Kuriko walked over to stand behind Nyoko as she looked at her armor. "Ohayo," the Neko said amiably as she approached. "Ano, I don't wanna be rude, but could you help me with some of the stuff on Sigmund? I'm not sure I know what I'm doing quite yet," Kuriko said quietly.
Maya was close to finishing up getting into uniform by the time Kuriko left out the door. "Sayonara!" After Maya was done getting dressed, she also put on some leather fingerless gloves she bought at the PX before arriving aboard the Senbu that she hoped would help her with her marksmanship. Maya then holstered her NSP, fixed her dreads, and went over to Kuriko's private console. "MEGAMI, where is the Shosa this morning?” she asked.
"In her living quarters, deck sixteen," the nearly monotone telepathic voice of the Senbu's MEGAMI responded to Maya.
Nyoko smiled as the Shoi made his comment, nodding her head in a sort of bow to him as she continued to examine her armor, running several diagnostics just to be sure. Then Kuriko suddenly appeared, by Nyoko's standards at least, she just appeared and surprised the Neko, causing her to jump with a start. Her sudden movement, however, made her feet catch on either an imaginary item or something quite real, sending her toppling over in a heap in front of Kuriko.
"Sumimasen!" Kuriko said emphatically as she tried to help Nyoko up. "Sumimasen!" the Neko repeated over and over, while making small bowing motions at the same time once Nyoko was standing back up.
Nyoko blushed fiercely as Kuriko helped her up, "Thank you Kuriko-san." Nyoko bowed slightly in return, her face still quite apple red. "How can I help you Kuriko-san?"
"Anou... I'm not quite sure how to check and make sure that some of the stuff on Sigmund is ok. Can you show me how to do that?" Kuriko asked, still embarrassed from causing Nyoko to topple over.
Maya tapped the console in acknowledgment. "Thanks, MAEGAMI, at least you’re an improvement over the MEGAMI on the Takemitsu." Maya then slipped on a bandana so that her dreadlocks were out of her face and to make it look a little more well-kept as she was heading out the door. Maya then headed for the turbolift and telepathically made the command to go to the officers’ quarters on deck 16. When the lift reached its destination, Maya got off and walked down the hall, looking for the door with Shosa's nameplate on it. When she found the right one, Maya pushed the call button and announced her presence, "Shosa Shizuka? Ittô Hei Yoshihara here, arriving at your request."
Nyoko nodded her head and smiled, "Ok, show me Sigmund and what you want to do. I'll show you what I can. I do not know everything. If I do not know, ask the Shoi – Akira." Nyoko was nervous and it showed as she started to play with a piece of hair as she talked.
Kuriko led Nyoko over to her Mindy. "I'm not sure what to look for when checking to see if there are any mechanical problems," Kuriko said as she pointed at various parts of the Mindy. "I only know how to use it... I don't have a clue what to do to maintain it." Kuriko was slightly embarrassed that she didn't know what she was doing. It can't be helped, I guess, the Neko silently reasoned.
Mizu came out of the Shower, towel on her head and toothbrush in her mouth; she headed back to her quarters with the rest of her things and brought out her uniform and accessories. Mizu had all of the uniform on minus that of the top, as she still had a toothbrush in her mouth, so she just took her uniform top with her and went back into the bathroom and spat out the toothpaste that was in her mouth, rinsed and cleaned her toothbrush and headed back to her room once more. Mizu put her top on, adjusted her rank pins, and placed her hygienic items away. It's a good morning, I wonder who all is at the Pride Wing bay, Mizu thought to herself as she exited her room and walked to the lift, riding it down to Deck 24 on port side with a smile as well as humming a wistful note.
As Kuriko explained her plight she nodded, reasoning that Kuriko probably was not originally a pilot and through odd luck just happened to land here on the Senbu in perhaps one of the most dangerous jobs. "Well..." Nyoko started, looking over the armor. "You have to start with the basics, first run an automated check, go over the list... and see if the automated test detected anything wrong." Nyoko continued to play with the loose strand of hair. "You know how to run the automated checks?" She went over to Sigmund’s console showing it to Kuriko.
A loud crash could be heard from the muffle of the door to the Shosa’s room, then a few small thuds and bangs. Then, there was silence... a second or two passed, then the door opened, the Shosa standing in a half buttoned white dress shirt and black underwear underneath. Her hair was messier than normal, which would be quite the feat for the captain’s already chaotic sandy blonde lion mane. With half-lidded eyes, she stared at Maya with an unamused look about her; she even wobbled in her step for a second as she glared at the Hei. "It's morning, what could you possibly need from me at," she paused to look back in her mess of a room for a clock, forgetting for a moment that she had a clock internally. She wobbled and turned back towards Maya, "at… so early in the morning?"
Kuriko shook her head, "Nope. I wish I did, unfortunately, I only know how to get in and work it." As Kuriko spoke she kind of looked down at the ground again.
Nyoko nodded, "Well... it’s like a work of art? Do you like art? You see first you need to gain access to your armor. That’s easy enough. So let’s start with that." She smiled to Kuriko.
Maya couldn’t help but blush after looking at the Shosa dressed in her current state and looked at her apologetically. "I'm sorry Ma'am. Yesterday, you did say to see at your earliest convenience for some questions, but if this is a bad time then I can come back at a later date. Sorry for disturbing you." Maya then bowed and began to turn around to walk back to the turbolift.
"I like art, though it's a little less... traditional than most art," Kuriko said as she thought of the small collection of 'art' that she had back in her room. Kuriko followed Nyoko's instructions with the armor interface screen.
Nyoko’s smile got bigger as Kuriko mentioned she liked art, even if it was not traditional art. "Well then, just enter the auto-diagnostics," she added, pointing out the directions to Kuriko on the screen. "Then you just have to wait for it to complete."
"Huh?" Shizuka scratched the back of her head and watched the Hei turn around and walk away. "Wait, what do you think your doing?" the Captain rubbed her eyes and looked around her feet, for what? Well, she may have been looking for something throw at Maya but didn't really have the effort at the moment to grab anything. "Wait here, that's an order,” the Captain said as she turned back into her room, the door shutting after her.
Maya stopped her feet after the Shosa started yelling at her and barking orders. "Ma'am? Did I do something wrong?" Maya just stood there, confused, as she watched the Shosa combing the quarters for whatever until she gave the order to sit tight. "Understood, Ma'am," Maya replied as the Shosa closed the door on her face. I'll bet she's actually quite cute when you get know her, she thought
Kuriko laughed as she watched Nyoko point out how to run the auto diagnostic. "I'm sorry," Kuriko said in between gasps for air. “I feel pretty stupid for not having thought of that myself," Kuriko said as her face turned a bright beat red.
Nyoko laughed nervously as Kuriko continued to apologize to her. It was not her fault for not knowing. "It’s alright. When someone does something new to them they usually are hesitant in taking the first steps on their own."
Mizu stepped off the lift when it stopped at Deck 24 and spaced out as she wandered into the Pride Wing’s bay, running her left hand over the surface of her Mindy.
Kuriko tried to calm herself a bit when she started to notice Nyoko's apprehension. After a few seconds the results came back, and as expected there were no issues. "There don't seem to be any problems," Kuriko said as she turned to Nyoko. "Thank you for helping me!" the Neko said, still slightly embarrassed, but hiding it better this time. "Ne, Nyoko-hei, if I have any problems, could I ask you for help?" Kuriko asked.
The terminal beside Kuriko's armor came alive as the screen filled with a list of systems and units incorporated to her armor, each item on the list had a small line of quickly changing data lines and a quickly filling status bar as the hangar's highly fine tuned instruments. It took a few more moments, and then each bar displayed all her systems at 100%.
Nyoko nodded with a smile, "Of course, Kuriko-hei, just ask any time I will be glad to help." She paused for a moment as she saw Mizu come into the bay. "Mizu. Good morning," she said as she bowed to her. "Mizu-hei, you’re better with power armor than me; could you help Kuriko-hei?"
Mizu looked over from seeing over her Mindy, smiling when she met eyes with Nyoko, "Ohayo, Nyo-hei. Of course I can, I would never neglect offering aid to my friends and fellow crewmates." Mizu paced over to where Nyoko was.
