YSS Kaiyō II
"How in this universe!?" Hoshi shouted as she moved from her ready room onto the bridge, speaking to the only Nekovalkyrja there - Deio Asuka. She had been in her ready room with paperwork and then asleep for a few hours. The dinner the night before had followed a briefing about the Nekovalkyrja body that had been made in one of the ship's hemosynth tanks that was filled with false data to be ejected towards Kuvexian intelligence gatherers and allow for the Kaiyō's safe passage into important Kuvexian strongholds in the coming weeks through intentional deception. The crunch of the chicken katsu was softened by the ponzu sauce, marinated lettuce, and sticky rice below it.
Even now, two crew were using their time wisely by dressing in the frilly and over the top fashion of some Kyoto districts on Yamatai- though Gravity was not practicing her singing like Elenor was as either did so separately in their own rooms. High above the rest of the crew, Nora was up later than allowed, a habit not appreciated but not regulated by the ship's upper command staff. She was speaking kindly, with a soft and cooing voice, to the plants she had been bequeathed during Year End. Chlorate herself had just taken a bowl of previously frozen peas, carrots, and mustard out of the microwave in the galley. Finding the box of bolts exactly where she had left it on the galley's work table, the AI commenced finalization of her concoction by dumping a majority of the bolts into the bowl.
"Only the imaging array was able to pick them up, Captain!" Asuka shouted back, within the bridge, voice shrill as she prepared mentally for the intensity of combat.
Hoshi's Type 35 volumetrics hadn't yet fully formed over her pink skin before she sat down in the captain's seat and began reviewing data and sent out the first of several volleys from the anti-mech cannons at the approaching hive of objects. She punched out a heavy aether cone, able to spread its 30° of pinkish white damage and death to many of the ships in the area, large and small.
"Condition One, Boss!"
When Hoshi made the order, Boss alerted crew ship-wide that they were on the alert situation in which every crewmember was to report to their duty stations. Those that would normally be on the away team were meant to suit up in Mindy and deploy while those on the bridge should move towards the bridge. Blast shutters: closed.
"We have SMD, WARMS, what went wrong?" Hoshi asked Asuka as the sensor operator held her gaze at her console, even while speaking.
"We will have to ask that later, they're on us!"
Hoshi had noticed. Both the top and bottom of the hull had been pricked onto by shuttle-sized breach pods.
"Shields, Boss?" Hoshi snapped while still utilizing weapons.
The MEGAMI responded, "Hull and airlock were damaged beyond containment. I am only guessing, but some form of artificial gravity rerouted CFS."
Hoshi was about to ask to create compensation within the CFS but saw the data for herself. It was like the CFS had been opened temporarily for weapons fire along the two tears in the hull. The Chusa saw the first of the boarders enter through MEGAMI's internal sensors. A wild mix of gold Kuvexian armor and gangling Rixxikor with limited armor that allowed them to drip their bodily fluids throughout the first hallways they were entering from the long gone safety of the starboard airlock on Deck 2 and from their access point in the hallway outside of the power armor bay.
The captain checked the surrounding mess of enemy ships and breaching shuttles. She sent out a final blow with the main weapon array and a few shots to pick off the smaller shuttles while making the decision.
"We won't hold shields if they aren't working, divert CFS to propulsion, Boss." Hoshi said, "Destination unknown."
"Aye," the MEGAMI responded as she moved on to piloting the ship.
Hoshi quickly sent a message to those of her crew that could receive it telepathically as well as the same information over ship comms, "This is your captain speaking. Our ship has been breached significantly. Ensuing communications will be sent to your handheld communicators and telepathically." Ensuing communications came though in just such a way. "The breach occured in two locations: deck two and deck five. Crew on two and above, protect areas forward of the dojo as an organized unit immediately. Zero gravity passageways are shut off deck by deck and most doorways have been sealed with blast shutters that will open for authorized personnel." She allowed those crew compatible with the MEGAMI system to see into internal sensors.
"The power armor bay has been cut off by the boarders. Those below deck 2, maintain the integrity of the ship's central assets! Use of communicators and alternative means of communication are advised. I will limit my communication on these frequencies. Kaiyō actual out." By the time her statement had finished over comms, the ship was hurtling at some of its fastest speeds as Hoshi had already begun delving into figuring out the technology being used on the shielding of the CFS. She saw the changes in the boarders actions as they posted up around the cargo bay, and began working on the force field of the power armor bay doors with some kind of energy saw, leaving the blast shutters to the wardroom alone for the time being.
On the second deck, they had already posted Rixxikor and Kuvexian guards at the stairwell while working at the joining corner between the life support room and MEGAMI's own area, though MEGAMI's room was fortified with armored walls all around itself.
