RP Honeybear don't care

Zanven looked at her, the power armor could not give her a look at his face, but he was serious when he spoke about her giving the weapon over. When she emptied the revolver and handed it over he nodded as he was given a warning, but when he saw the blade he remembered her telling him about its significance. He then stepped beside her as he put the revolver in where the sidearm would go and he pushed his own sidearm into one of the soldiers as Sanda said she couldn’t walk out without help. Zanven went to her and put her arm…her good one over his shoulder and he looked to the NCO. “Sir she is disarmed and under my care, I will not relieve her of a ceremony blade, but you have my word it will not be used. If there is nothing further. I will see to it that she is taken back for medical attention and then for questioning.” He would say, giving his word and having a serious tone as he showed he was ready to move out. Once they were moving he used short comms to Sanda’s personal comm.


If it went through he would speak to her; “I know it is asking a lot, but trust in me…I will hold onto your revolver and when we are back up and you are healing…your blade. It will not be unsheathed by anyone but you. You need to believe in me. Right now we are having to do damage control…our fight to restore honor is just beginning Sanda…we will make it back and bring back the honor we lost and clear your name.” He said as he walked towards the elevator.

Miko had enough time to let his body relax. This had been a long day and he was looking forward to a nice dip into an onsen. The thought of this was the one thing keeping him from screaming. What a complete mess they had ended up in. About half way through he had put together the idea that this was meant to be a political trap and there was no real threat from here. He also figured the person pulling the strings was not to be found here. That would make it too simple for that to be the case. Last, it was salt in the wound for the fairy to be blasting 77 with donkeys coupling. Miko had flashbacks to pranks Alastair use to play on him, this being one of them. Miko could not help but smile knowing Alastair would have a fun time chasing after this one. If they were lucky they'd find comfort in death, otherwise they would end up collared and working on the Koun.

Miko picked up his weapon and tossed it over his shoulder. "Lets get a move on before they decide to turn this place into a crypt." He started to head towards the exit.

The transmission from the Freespacer mercenary entered Sassa's digital mind, but was otherwise ignored.

The Infantry Neko said nothing, even as she watched the scene play out between Sanda and Zanven. Her aether katana simply clattered to the floor as the weight of her Molly suddenly manifested fell on her narrow shoulders, its power systems rendered inert with a mental command. With that done, she held up her hands to the others and let them escort her out of the control room, speechless in voice and manner.

All the while, beneath the unreadable mask of her helmet, a tear slipped down her left cheek.

NARA

Nara's eyes flicked straight ahead in concentration, ears twitched as she heard the intercom squawk to life with a harrowing message. Violet orbs flicked back to Itami with a look that would convey the message "What the hell was that?". Her head tilted to the side focusing on the words her close friend spoke. This enforcement of martial law sure made things a bit more interesting around here. She wondered how the events that unfolded would affect Task Force Piglet itself. In complete agreement with the ranger she nodded, "I could not agree more, things are not as they seem around here." One hand fell to her left thigh resting atop where one of the blades was secured. As if the had picked up on whatever had bothered Itami's subconscious enough to make him check his weapons. She went to attempt removal of her restraints while keeping an eye on her surroundings and the ranger.

Estrid texted Sacre the plan through the squad's private comms. Sacre approached Sanada, gently taking her hands and put shackles on them. "Under my authority as a Article Nine Law Enforcement personnel, I accept your transfer to my custody."

She moved over to Sassa and repeated the ritual. "Allright, let's go."

The Kodian NCO moved his head towards the door. "I have tried to be reasonable up to this point. Those two are being detained, in my custody. Look around you, these are the bodies of dead civilians. Yamataian Civilians. I have already informed you exactly what was going to happen, and I will re-iterate. We are going to detain these two, and take them to Fort Nozomi. Where they will be turned over to the proper authorities, and not those who clearly and demonstrably are a conflict of interest."

He motioned to two of his soldiers, and pointed to Zan. "Take them into custody, they can be escorted by him and the other two star Army personnel on board the Fellwalker already. This is entirely reasonable, and not only that, but rather generous considering the circumstances. Stand down, and let everyone go home, this has no need to get any worse than it already has." His grip tightened around the grip of his weapon, unsure what the Star Army soldiers next actions would be.

Sacre scanned the NCO for rank, but didn't see any insignia and her HUD didn't tell her. That struck her as being very odd. Combined with the very combative way that he approached what should have been a standard arrest, his speed in getting there only moments after it happened, and his insistence on going around protocol ticked things over. She slid between the Kodian and the two prisoners. "I order everyone to stand down from combat, the area is secure and the prisoners have been cuffed. Soldier, state your name, rank, and serial number." She said in a deadly calm voice that caused anyone who knew her to tense up. Black Wolf moved backwards, standing next to things that could be used as cover in a pinch.

Epilogue - Mission 1
10 Days Post Asteroid Attack
Fort Nozomi - Gashmere

Recovery efforts in orbit continued as efforts were made to protect any possible portions of the orbital shipyard facility. Thousands remain missing, presumed dead at this point. Gashmere grows more volatile as the general populace loses faith in the goodwill of the Yamatain empire. The Empress issues an instruction re-instating the General Assembly of Gashmere, as well as re-routing humanitarian assistance to the now scarred home of the Kodians.

The General Assembly of Gashmere holds emergency elections for both general seats and the Chair of the Assembly. Anti-Xenoist candidates are able to take a majority of the Assembly, Premier Hanako (@Wes ) is invited to Gashmere for an official visit to re-visit the Treaty of Gashmere in more detail.

Aliset Koun is listed as MIA. She was last seen attempting to save a ship in orbit. Until she is found alive, or her remains found, Star Army refuses to list her as otherwise.

Miko was sent to 7th Fleet in Orbit and was able to make a full recovery, and obtain the contact info for four different nurses.

Sanda and Sassa were transferred to Star Army authorities at Fort Nozomi and are confined to the facility, pending the outcome of a Joint investigation by SAINT( @Ametheliana @raz ) and Kodian Authorities.

77, Itami, Nara, Zanven, Sacre and Blackwolf squad are given 14 days of leave to decompress and recuperate after the raid on the SMERC.

After an intensive review of all of the *ahem* quality adult programming that Itami acquired, SAINT and Star Army intelligence assets found a set of co-ordinates. Located in the center of a dense nebula, a dense asteroid cluster resides...


OOC: This conclude the First Mission of Task Force Piglet. Thank you all for joining me on this Journey, I hope you continue to do so!
