Late Night

After a break for the Yule-Tide Holidays, the Resurgence's crew we back in space, facing its endless mysteries. After transiting the Concordia wormhole from its secret location in the Kikyo Sector, Resurgence moved to the ancient progenitor facility known as Concordia Station where they had recovered the frozen Concordian civilization in YE 45, and where the Star Army's small base of operations was running. The Concordia Sector was still a mystery, barely explored, but offering the ruins of a sector-wide war between organics and machines, and the station was a hub for a wormhole network to other sectors of the Kagami Galaxy, which urgently needed to be mapped and explored. This was a huge undertaking and the Resurgence was the tip of the spear in an ongoing effort to figure it out and put together the pieces of the puzzle that was the Aetherian Progenitors, the lost civilization that had left the research base behind beyond Wormhole 1, and the station they'd witnessed the last moments of when it fell into the sun at the end of Wormhole 2. Now it was Wormhole 3's turn, and only the bravest crew would be able to face its dangers. That was Resurgence.

Science Lab

Once again, green-haired Chief Science Officer Kawa Euikoshi was making sensor probes to fire out of the gunship's rollbar and into the wormhole. Her best friend Pidole, Chief Engineer, stood nearby with a cart of parts, a blue beetle crawling on her head and fluffing her hair.

A volumetric screen showed the wormhole in its mesmerizing and forebording glory: It appeared as a massive swirling vortex of energy, shimmering in hues of deep blue, purple, and faint gold. Its unstable edges crackled with aetheric discharges.

Euikoshi scratched her head. "This is a weird one. I am getting readings that suggest temporal anomalies, pocket dimensions, and aetheric signatures. The probes haven't been able to stay in contact with us once they enter it and none have been able to get to the other side and return. I am going to try some shallower probes that go in and then return quickly to use the data to at least come up with modifications to our ship's shields and propulsion to make it easier to navigate safely."

Julia Meadows appeared with a tray of tea, and Euikoshi took a cup while Pidole didn't. "Nah, I've got to get some rest. You should too," Pidole said, rubbing Euikoshi's back.

"Just a little more research," Euikoshi assured Pidole, as the red-haired engineer headed down the ramp with Julia. She stared at the wormhole's image and rubbed her chin. "I'm going to figure you out!"

Armor Bay

Yoshiro was down in the armor bay working on his power armor. He was thinking about what had happened in the last mission where he had let Mitalar escape with the intel that they needed. He was angry with himself and the fact that some alien race had attacked a bunch of innocent civilians had upset him. He was repairing his armor and calibrating his armor systems such as targeting and such, it helped relieved his stress. He wiped the sweat he accumulated off his forehead and continued to work on his armor. "Well, I'll have my chance to get her eventually. Even if I don't get that chance, someone will get her and get the information we were looking for back." He said to himself. He headed to the wardroom his hunger getting the best of him.

VR Room

Sanda stood in the middle of the mat. Dressed in her workout clothes she held Arc up in a defensive stance. Little beads of sweat on her forehead was the only indication that she was even trying, which of course she was. She stood motionless, her breathing calm and even, her heart rate barely elevated. Then four drones flew at her from four different directions. Sanda thrust her sword and hit the first one then ducked the second before slashing the third. The two drones she hit exploded in a light show then disappeared. She was forced to step back as number 2 and 4 drones came in swinging blades of their own. There was a loud clank as Sanda's sword and the drones blade connected. For a moment it was a contest of strength as both pushed against the other. But Sanda wasn't going to use up all her energy to prove she was the stronger. She appeared to give in and let the drone come over her, but it was a feint. As the drone moved over her she drew her straight silver blade and jabbed the drone which burst into flames and disappeared.

Not waiting for the Nepleslian Ranger to recover, drone 4 attacked along with a now revived 1 and 3. Sanda switched her grip on Arc and so that the blade went down her forearm and met the drones head on. There was a spark of lighting and all three drones fell do the ground. Arc spun around in Sanda's hand as she reset her stance for the next attack.

Sanda had been taking her swordsmanship practice very serious since Koyama, her friend and teacher, had left the Resurgence. She had grown a lot over the last few months and hoped that Koyama would be pleased with her progress. After sparing with drones, Sanda set the VR room to emulate the Xynar soldiers. They were tough bastards, with equal tech to the Star Army, but they had to have some weakness and Sanda was going to figure out what it was. After about 30 mins of non stop fighting, the simulator shut off. It began reading out kill counts for the Ranger's practice which Sanda just muted. She wasn't interested in practice kills, only real ones.

Sanda wiped her face with a towel and retied her hair into a ponytail. She swung her weapons belt around her hips and sheathed Arc and her straight silver blade then pulled on her new Type 46 Pullover. Even though it was late, she thought she'd grab a cup of coffee and see if Rossa had left any snacks out in the Wardroom.

Shuttle Bay

As has become his evening routine, Sulevi was running through his mech’s post-flight checklist. He found himself serving both the roles of pilot and technician, though this wasn’t new to him, since he had filled similar roles with his previous job.

“Alright; with that, all systems are nominal.” He ticked off the last item on his checklist, pausing a moment to marvel at the Ryoko sitting in the hangar before him. “Never thought I’d be in the saddle of this thing. Really makes the CAMIEs look like toys.”
