Re: [Mission 11] The Torchbearers
Once he was sure that the central living sections of the ship were mostly undamaged, Michael found that with the armor bay gone, he had nowhere to place his Hikael, so he returned to his quarters, exiting his armor and leaving it off to his side. Exiting, he stretched, and extended his wings out as far as they would go to get some blood flowing through them. Upon hearing the Taisa's announcement, he realized that a lone elysian walking through Chiharu Star Fortress might lead to a few problems. Still, there were a few things that he would have to do first, and that actually involved receiving a package that his mother had sent him. A cooking book, to be exact.
Say what you will about Elysians, but one of the stereotypes about them that was entirely true was that they all loved their mothers. Before shipping out from Novus Elysia to the Eucharis, Michael had taken some time off. Whilst some soldiers would've spent it with cheap drink and loose women, he had spent most of the time with his family- including his brother Gavril who had taken a break from his job with Origin Industries. The twins were both veteran soldiers, and they had both initially joined the Elysian Celestial Navy to protect their mother, who had been left wingless during the Yamataian occupation of Elysia in YE 23, as a result of fighting between insurgent and occupation forces. Though he blamed the Yamataian Star Empire for his mother's injuries at the time, The Empire had changed for the better now, and Michael had matured as a man.
So, smiling, he decided to accept the Taisa's offer.
"Taisa Hanako, I am expecting to receive a package from my mother at one of the station's post officers, a cook book filled with Elysian recipes. If it would not be too much trouble, I would like to bring along the ship's chefs to assist me in obtaining some needed ingredients. I would also like to extend an invitation to any of the crew who would wish to come along, Ma'am."
