ON> Kasairyuu Wing, Taiie IV rescue mission (Lost in SPAAAAAAAAAAAACE!)
Corro received the flight controls ready orders. Putting on his best demanding voice he turned to his wing. "Squadrons A, B, C launch! Good speed!" With that said, the three hundred armors began to lift off from the armor bay and exit the forcefield in a tightly packed group. Slowly they expanded outward into a sweep patrol formation as they went off to meet the YSS Cnidari. Elsewhere in the wing, the rescue team ((player characters)) received flight protocols and a flight path on their armors' HUDs. As the last of the first wave left the bay the next three squadrons lined up where their comrades had been. "Squadrons D, E, F launch! Good speed!" Corro continued. The next wave began to lift off and leave the protective envelope of the Akuro.
Inside the Intrepid the shuttle pilot from the YSS Namiko approached Roger and Tachiko after securing Roger's plasma torch. "We'll be lifting off soon." the NH-17 started. "There's some seats in the front cabin with me." The pilot motioned to follow as she began to enter the cockpit and run the last pre-flight diagnostics.
"Sounds good to me, I always enjoy a good view with my trip, eh TT?" Roger said as an aside to the medic. He turned back to the pilot. "Any clue how long we'll be out here?"
Tachiko looked around, another check. Making sure everything is secured down in the rear before heading to the front. She didn't offer more response to his question than a noncommittal nod, but it was likely rhetorical anyway. Tachiko sat down, finding a seat to her liking, and performed a quadruple-check on her sidearm.
Jaq took from a pouch a length of wire, and on this wire were the right 2nd knucklebone of 7 men he had once killed in combat, all were beached white. He attached this trophy rack to his left shoulder pad to display it to the world. To show fear was not an issue to him and that he could over come obstacles. Most especially men!
"It's all according to how long the Cnidari needs escorting and if the landing zone is hot, so to speak." the pilot responded as the monitors flashed to life and began to start up. She began to input a few command codes and began a text conversation with the flight control. The operating system was up and the Intrepid was ready to go on the order.
Caine kept to himself and was going through a few warm-up motions to adjust to his Kylie and smirked a bit. "I'm ready" he said and looked at Jaq. "Creepy..."
As the pilots launched the Cnidari awaited them. The first of the Star Army's Hummingbird Class CDC's was slightly larger than the almighty Chiharu Flagship, the profile nearly the same with the exception of the two massive payload bays on its ventral and the massive Katsuko Class Colony Base docked on its X234 docking port. Indeed combined these two made the old Horizon Colony ships look obsolete, they were the pride and joy of the 5th as that their design was based off the recommendations of Taisho Motoyoshi after her mission to the GE universe.
Locked in deep concentration amidst the graphs and charts his Armors' computer was bringing up, Sayo popped a small data chip into an access port, as the sounds of Italian opera flooded the cockpit. Reading the atmospheric pressure and chemical makeup of Taiie IV, Sayo noted a few facts and awaited Corro's orders...
After getting situated and ready, Camellia glanced over to the side and saw Jaq, adding the interesting addition to his armor. "Jaq," she said over the radio, "you realize those will burn off and up when we enter decent. Correct?"
Turning to the other members of the wing Bishop spoke into his comm. "Alright Sync up on SLICS everyone, lets keep this formation clean, and Christ Jaq, will you take those things off"
"How is it you can kill a man but you can't see the fruit of it?" Jaq replied to Bishop "And don't worry about it they have been chemically treated I'll just have to recover them after this and they will be fine"
"Rescue team to the line!â€
