RP: 188604 Frontier Emergencey, Rescue, and Aid Service

Rizzo

Howard station was alive with activity as employees worked overtime to prepare for the Kuvexian invasion, not of 188 but of Yamataian space. It was a rare occasion to have the entire fleet assembled at the station and it was by far the busiest they'd ever been shuttles flew within the station as fuel, ammo, food and other necessities were packed into cargo containers which would soon be transferred to the six massive Caravan cargo ships.

Candon and Donovan discussed matters of business as they walked to Candon's Na-T4b shuttle. His path would be different from the rest of the fleet.
"What I wish to say is that we can no longer afford these kinds of operations, Mr. Suites," the eloquent android counseled, "need I remind you how far in the red we are?"

"Spare no expense, this is more important, Donovan," Candon scolded the robot, "now tell me what the fleet has for this mission."

"The fleet will consist of four Broadsword cruisers, six Caravan heavy freighters, the Kouken-class escort and the AF-27 Lich carrying starfighters. The Caravan freighters are being fit for different duties.

"FSS Prosperity Dawn is being retooled for communications and Logistics. The bulk of the cargo bay houses a large refugee camp made of cargo containers.

"FSS Blue Caribou and Chrome Star will be handling ground operations and are being loaded with U2ACMs, Cupcake Tankettes, Hydra Variable tanks, Ashigaru Mecha, huge containers of stored Liquid soldier, and medical facilities.

"FSS Belle in Red, Gypsy Moth, and Solar Zephyr will be making supply runs and transporting people out of the danger zones. Their cargo bays have been laid out for mass transit of people.

"And that is all of our ships. The paperwork with the Yamataian authorities for FSC of Yamatai is complete so we are legal in their space. We will still need more manpower so the optimal strategy at this time will be to use our supply of Liquid Soldier for the most dangerous work and have our sentient troops perform specialized tasks," Mr. Donovan finished his review, adding on another topic, "there has been some difficulty with recruitment due to the letter Leo Gerrick sent to his employees. It has circulated quite far and rumors are causing suspicion in the general population."

Candon stopped his brisk pace. "Causing people to doubt the banking service is no different than trying to collapse the ArcMark," he responded, pausing to think, "Put a five million 'Mark bounty on his head and publicly label him an economic terrorist. If he ever pokes his head out of hiding I want entire mercenary outfits gunning for him. As for Osman Heavy Industries, state in the bounty that any recovered OHI technology or corporate plans will have a half-million bounty per item. That ought to keep them out of interstellar trade and out of our hair."

Mr. Donovan nodded, data already processing.
"It will be done, sir."

"Carry on, Donovan. My sword is needed on the homefront," Candon dismissed as he proceeded to board his shuttle. Soon he would be back where it had all started.
YSS Eucharis.
