Gi piloted the
Aeon smoothing towards an orbital insertion above Virginia. "Virginia Approach Control, this is the
YSS Aeon, Ise-Taii commanding, requesting permission to enter orbit." Gi sent. "You are cleared for orbital approach
Aeon. We have been expecting you." came the voice of the approach controller.
It was a relatively simple maneuver to then alter the ship's orbit to rendezvous. Gi adjusting the speed of
Aeon glided silently into position five kilometers above the
Henry Chen. This put both vessels in a geosynchronous orbit above the First Fleet Depot. After putitng the ship into station keeping mode she picked up the handset and called over the speakers. "Ise-Taii, we are in position holding at 5,000 meters per your command."
Katae walked into the power armor bay and was greeted with the sight of her people completing their preparation. She walked over to her armor and removed her boots, holster, communicator, and rank pins stowing them in the butt pack she had attached to her armor. She also placed two wrapped up bottles of fine Yamataian Wine. Closing the pack she stepped backed into the armor and closed it up. She performed the power up and diagnostics easily having done them countless times before. Sealing the helment she stepped away from the rack.
"Heads up people. We are going to take a little walk outside. The Henry Chen is below us and we are crossing over to her in our power armor. Kim-Shoi Kohoshei and Haruhi-Juni, both of you will go weapons ready when we step out. The rest of you will keep your armor in training mode. Once we are on the Henry Chen you will be given your briefing for the training mission." She walked over to the power armor doors and signaled for the starboard one to open. "I will be waiting for you outside. So move it people." Once the outer door was opened she nimbly leaped through the containment force field into space.
