Episode 3 (Companion Story) - Home
Part 1: Purple and Blue
The Jiyuu System was a fury of activity, it had become one of the Empire's busy urban systems as goods were pushed from the resource-rich worlds in the Outer Colonies of Yamatai back towards the Core. The streak of turbo aether plasma trails blazed across open space as ships arrived and departed Gemini Star Fortress, the busy Zodiac-Class Star Fortress and the Headquarters of the First Expeditionary Fleet.
"Gemini Actual to YSS Wakaba, you are clear for docking. Please prepare for P-ANTIES take over of piloting controls, you are cleared on Sakura Arm, Dock 3-33." the cheerful, professional voice of Nito-Hei Ellie Vixx came over the communications channel as the Star Fortress coordinated with the PANTHEON system onboard the
YSS Wakaba.
"Motoyoshi-Chusa, I have a message for you. Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Taisho wishes you to proceed to meet her at the Atarashi site of the Fuji Hotel. I have arranged a shuttle in Bay 5 for you and Motoyoshi-Kotoku Chujo to travel together. She is waiting for you in the Takeda House Restaraunt in Sakura Arm." the anthro communications specialist relayed to the Captain.
The AI of Gemini would take over the controls of the ship to guide it in for docking. As the YSS Wakaba would make the approach to the Star Fortress, the view of the massive
YSS Tokyo, docked on the Tokyo Arm of the Star Fortress would come into view. The recently finished Izanagi-Class Dreadnought and Flagship of the fleet were in loading mode, there was a line up of cargo ships waiting to make their deliveries and shuttles zipped in and out of its bays as it was being loaded and brought into active operation under the orders of Motoyoshi-Yamada Chujo and Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Taisho.

Motoyoshi-Kotoku Sui sat in the newly opened Takeda House Restaraunt, she had a datapad in her hands with the menu on it. The place was luxurious, far more than what you would expect to find in a Star Fortress. She had no idea who Kazue was, for the most part, she had remained at Motoyoshi-jo, the family's castle on Yamatai until Katsuko had pleaded with her to re-activate her commission and join the First Expeditionary Fleet's efforts in the Kuvexian War. The xenophobic Admiral couldn't turn down the chance to lay waste to some more squids, be it Mishhu or Kuvexian it didn't matter much to her - they all looked the same smeared across the deck plating.
"I will have the table d'hôte, and so will the person I am meeting when they arrive. Might as well go big, Katsuko's paying," she said to the waiter. Hopefully Kazue, this younger Motoyoshi would not take her time in getting there. The Chujo glanced towards the door, then let out a sigh as she swiped away the message from Ellie Vixx about the
YSS Wakaba's arrival.
