Alexander Mathews


Alexander seemed a little lost at what he needed to do for this mission. He was a little worried given he is nothing more than a muscular human. He lets out a soft sigh, "I guess I will have to cram myself into a crate, right Teien-Chusa?" He doesn't seem too enthused on this part, and only seems curious on how uncomfortable it would be to be stuffed in a crate with other people.

He listens to what else is going on, and other suggestions, orders, and people showing off what they can do. He isn't really all that special, and has nothing special he can do. He smiles softly, thinking about what he can do though.

For now, he just keeps his eyes on Teien-Chusa, and Eden-Chusa.

Sakura Sjet.

Sakura got her posting and her ears and tail went down, she was hoping not a Kuvexian. Though it would make the best disguise and she could have some fun ordering around some slaves. Perking back up she listened to the rest of the briefing. She didn't like the idea of exploding but she also understood why. They could never let the enemy get access to the wonderful Pantheon, as a Neko of the Computer Technician posting it was her sacred duty to prevent them from getting the holy code. That and she didn't want it ever to be damaged so she couldn't use it.

As she listend to Eden's explanation she mentally noted each part. The Program looked simple but it was written differently in a computer language she didn't speak. To gain access to it would give them a edge, and so many happy restless nights figuring out how to exploit it for the empire.

She enjoyed the rest of the speech and though shore leave called she wanted to get her hands on a few computer toy. Then Kiana stripped and Sakura became distracted. Whistling before using her volumetrics to display a sign that had a 10 on it. Grining at the surprise she looked to Wulf to see if he caught the view. Sakura was abit surprised to see the ranger lost in thought and decided to give him a subtle but gentle kick to stir him.

Wulf Soban.

Bought back into focus from his friends kick he looked around the briefing. He had half listened while lost in his own thoughts but he knew the part he had to play. Slave, check, how to be a slave not so much. Raising his hand quickly "Erm what type of clothing should those playing the slaves wear, I know you said High society but do we have reference material for that?"

Alastair stood completely silent as he listened to his commanding officer give the mission details. He has been given a heads up prior to the mission briefing what was going to be shared so was ready to deal with the fall out from it.

He looked over towards his friendly Neko crew and could tell from the looks he was getting some of them were going to enjoy this. He was happy about that fact he would not have to wear a collar as this would just be too much. "Understood, I shall act the role of a proper slave." As this left his mouth he felt as if he had been dropped into a lions den. The eager eyes of the neko looking forward to finally making him do their bidding.

He then noticed one of the Nekos getting undressed. This was one of the new recruits, a Kiana if he recalled right. So new and already corrupted by this ship of lewdness. He had much left to do to get this crew refined into a strong fighting machine. Though he did have to admit her cream skin was very nice. He quickly dropped the thought, as this thinking leads to the lewd side and he would not allow himself to succumb to this.

His one hope was that he could stay in character for all this. It would be a supreme test and one he would not fail at.

Once the blue skinned Neko received her answer she went silent, due to there not being anything that she wanted to say next. She did feel a little saddened that she couldn’t be Lady Jay again, but what was worse was that she had to play at being a Kuvexian. An understudy, she figured she knew what that meant, though she listened as she was told where she was to be, and she couldn’t help but wonder if the resort rooms were nice.

When Kiana began stripping, she didn’t pay attention instead she was thinking about Kuvexian society, she knew like before she’ll have to think of a name she could use if it is asked. Wulf asked about the clothing, slaves wore. “Ma’am, what about names? I mean Kiyomori is clearly Yamataian, so do you have any materials that would help there too?” she asked her commanding officer.

Hearing everyone react, she simply tried to follow the conversation, but this crew was busy, busy workers and experienced in whatever mission was thrown at them. Dalida then heard her name and looked at the direction of the Captain, she was ordered to work in the background. That made her ears hang a bit in disappointment as she grabs her tail and held it close to her she nodded to the Command team "As you order ma'am" She confirmed, but she didn't like it. Dalida had taste the action, somehow she desired more of it. But if the staff wanted her to stay behind, she understood and yet in the back of her mind, she puzzled if she was a burden for the team in the field. She shook to herself as Dalida got promoted, but why was she needed in the background. She was so focused on her thought that she didn't notice the stripping.

Had she not constructed her holographic projections to appear as a Leinve, a deep crimson flush would have been visible on the Sprite’s pale cheeks at Eden’s seemingly reverential remarks. Kiana felt slightly embarrassed, but not in a manner that was humiliating. In truth, she had not lent much thought to taking her bodysuit off in front of the assembled crew. After all, she had already seen most of the most of the personnel on the ship naked in the shower area, where no one seemed to pay any mind to it. As such, she had not expected fanfare to accompany her brief state of exposed nudity, especially in the form of a whistle, a volumetric projection which displayed a 10 on it, and a compliment regarding her chest from the First Officer herself.

Upon being introduced to the crew by Eden, Kiana gave the assembled group a demure wave with one of her leafy arms. As of yet, the Sprite was unable to replicate a smile with her holograms. However, she hoped to remedy that with more practice.

“Of course, Teien-Chusa.” The Sprite answered as she indexed the Leinve language patterns in the files of her digital mind. For a few moments, the clock rate of her mind surged exponentially as she processed a visual dictionary of the Leinve language, along with a few animations that depicted the Leinve’s gesture-based language in motion. Then, with a deep breath, Kiana shifted the holograms that she had projected from her skin to create the illusion that she was wiggling her leafy ears and eyebrows in an animated manner. The gesture roughly translated to a simple hello, essentially a cheerful salutation.

“How was that, Chusa?” Kiana asked in a soft and disarming tone. “Convincing?” She added.

Mikael nearly fell out of his seat when he saw the sprite suddenly undress and display her holographic abilities. He does his best SAINT acting job to make it look like he meant to do that out of amazement of her abilities instead of pervy shock. "Recorded, encrypted, and cataloged..." Mikael thought to himself before then reminding himself to talk to her about proper social norms. As much as he loves that side of the Nekos at times, he can't deal with it being a thing always. He then thinks about why there are no male versions of the Type 33A yet for a brief moment.

He then looks over towards Eden. "What do you wish of SAINT? Crashing economies is a welcome reprieve from trying to understand alien tech" Mikael said with a softened, but serious look on his face.

Meanwhile, Narumi started to withdraw from the room mentally so she could understand more about the Kuvexians. She really did not want to screw up on her first actual mission, ever. Sure she trained and deployed with the Giretsu Century she was assigned to. But she never kicked down doors and went bang bang. She is just combat service support after all.

Before things got too out of hand, Alastair knew how to throw a wrench into the evil doing of the nekos. He turned slight to be out of sight of everyone and grabbed at his wrist. He gave a nice twist, just enough to damage his portable comm link. "Oh, not this again." He said just loud enough for the few near by to be able to hear. "This thing just does not want to behave." He commented as he looked around the room then locked onto Dalida. "Ah, perfect, just the person I was looking for." He said with a smile as he walked over to her.

As one of the newer crew members, he had meant to take more time to get to know her. Being a Daur this always peaked his interest. The fact she can now assist him by being a neko distraction was a nice added bonus. "Hello Dalida, could you take a look at my communicator. It seems to be acting up again." In order to give her a good view at it, he positioned himself such that he was standing behind her with his communicator arm wrapped around front of her. Making for a close encounter.

Focused on her surroundings of the conversation until suddenly she heard his name that made her hair stand up. She shrugs as her ears lower a bit and looked at Alistair with a bit weak look of being to close to him "Ye...Yes? What ....can I do for you?" She listens to the complaint and her eyes looked at the said communicator as he gets closer to her she grabs her tail closer to her feeling very uncomfortable "Su...Sure..." Dalida manages to get out as she looked at the communicator. It didn't take long for her to figure out what was wrong with it and shrugs as she looked at him and backed off a bit seeing his face so close "Uhhmm...well your device is broken, its circuits are broken basically. I can't fix it here, you can..."She sighs as she was going to regret this "Come by the engineer and I will fix it there"

"Understood, Chusa..." the beanpole bird said after hearing Eden's reply. She was slightly disappointed; she couldn't say the idea of playing the role of a slave sounded too appealing to her, she didn't get the choice to disguise herself as a Kuvexian instead unlike the Nekos. But alas, she would have to do it, it seemed.

Chlorate was unsure what she would be doing. No one had answered her question of if she would be going undercover too. She hadn't been in the field before for the most part, except maybe for some exceptions, but not as a soldier. Then she remembered that she had been training as a tank operator. Would this finally be the time she got to use one, a real one in real action? The average-sized robot beeped and floated a few inches above the ground while raising her black metal hand, intending to be seen this time. "Teien Chusa, will I be operating a tankette on this mission?" the clanky girl asked, a question that probably seemed random without context. This might be her chance to impress Hoshi, the bubblegum captain would probably find her in a tank very... what's the phrase? Magnetic?

"I guess it can't be helped." Alastair said looking Dalida with a smile. "Sure am glad to have crew like you around to fix things that end up broken." Even if Alastair on purpose break it just to make a reason to delay if for a moment more becoming a slave to the neko. "Sounds like we have a date, I shall see you in engineering after the meeting." He stepped back and away from her and gave a solute. This was followed by a head pat. Something Alastair was finding himself doing more often to all of the crew. He had been reading how a simple touch gesture can go far to empower a person. It shows you have a personal interest in their well being.

He walked away and then stopped to look back at her. "Don't be late," a smile wide across his face as he continued walking.

Saya frowned a little at the idea of having to dress as as Kuvexian, about to pout about the fact before Hoshi spoke up.

"No Ma'am, I'm still a Itt-...Reh!?" The medic's mouth hung open as she was promoted again, now to a Nito Heisho. In the short time she had been aboard the Kaiyo, she had shot ahead in ranks faster than she could have imagined, not that she could complain but the worry was evident to her as her heart began to beat hard.

"I'm an off-officer now? It's not a white panel... But I'm in charge of people now?" The bubblegum haired medic looked shocked to say the least as she looked to Wyatt, then to Yuu. She had to shut her mouth and swallow before she could speak.

"Th-Thank you Yuu..." She fell silent for the rest of the briefing as her mind began to run over everything she had to learn and do now.
 
Hearing Alistair made Dalida blush and look at him with a surprised expression "But...I ..." She couldn't get her words out to him as he just confirmed it as a date and that blanked her mind totally "A...a ....a date?" She stuttered and desperation changed her surprised expression and Dalida held her tail even closer "I...can't have a date...I ...my father is going to kill me..." Dalida mutters to herself as she looked down to the table wondering what just happened and raised her hand to the Captain "Captain, please assign me to the field... I beg of you I wont be useless"

Alexander Mathews


Alexander Mathews has just been sitting, and waiting for his question to be answered. He seemed to just be relaxing at the moment, staying quite for the time being as he let everyone else talk. He took in a deep breath, then let it go as he just turns his head to look around a little bit. He doesn't bother listening too much to what others were talking about, but he did start to fidget with his left leg as he started to grow slightly impatient. He did want to know what he had to do during this mission, and he lifted his head up again to look to the commanding officers in anticipation.

This would be Alexander's first mission after all.

Alastair stepped to in front of the crew, pushing Eden out of the way slightly. While it was not officially known to all, Alastair was to be given a higher rank once they finished this current mission. This proved to him that his way of commanding was the right and only way to success against the foes of Kuvexian. "Alright crew, we are going to split up into teams. Either find a buddy or one will be assigned to you. Alastair then took notice of the very eager Dalida ready to go into the field. "Come on Dalida, you get the lucky role of being enslaved with me." He said pointing directly at her with a smile. "Everyone should be this excited, this is going to be a fun mission."

Alastair did something that even he thought was very out of character. He removed his shirt to expose his very well toned chest. "Time to get into the role of high class Kuvvy servant. Neko are to change into our masters, something I am sure they will enjoy far too much." He pec flexed towards the neko crew looking towards him. "Remember not to bring anything large if you are planning to pack heat. As pointed out by Eden, nothing bigger than your forearm." Alastair looked over to Wyatt with a grin knowing they would for sure get flagged. Curse of being born packing heat this large.

"Any other questions feel free to ask myself, Eden or Hoshi. Should be simple in and out mission. So lets go get suited up and get this mission moving." He then took a step back and stood next to Eden.

Hoshi looked from her XO to the newly promoted Belmont. Hoshi sent a quick message to Eden, then Eden sent one of her own:

"To: Taii Ketsurui Aiko
Re: Mission Briefing

Please join us in the wardroom if you are not already here, Ketsurui-taii.

Signed,
Chusa Teien Eden"

"Belmont... Taii. Belmont-taii," Hoshi said, loosely at first as she quite loudly let the words together roll around her tongue, then crisply with a ringing severity. "Nobody said what your role would be this mission, in particular. Your new rank befits, what, a captain of a gunship, am I right. In fact, Chusa Teien Eden here started her career aboard the Kaiyō namesake on the first ship as a Taii and as that ship's captain. You, Belmont-taii can use a rank flag now -for the first time!" Hoshi had begun pacing the room, looking at anyone but Alastair, but looking at everyone else very deeply as she spoke, taking in the new faces, those of the veterans to the ship and, still, looking at those that were less green to the ship. She spoke still with a growing urgency and clasped pink hands fitted snugly at the small of her back behind her prowling path.

"What else can a Taii do, besides command a ship like this, like the Fuji-class YSS Kaiyō II? I'll tell you all, before anyone goes back to the rank flag, we got him one and it is waiting for Belmont-taii in his quarters. Before you say command an escort, we don't have one of those, we really don't, yet. And before anyone says command a cargo ship... Please don't, how boring... For him?" Hoshi finally adressed Alastair by pointing at him, just a few feet away but barely inches from her extended index finger. "No, no..." Hoshi murmured as she lowered her arm and drew nearer Alastair with a drawling tone that was uber slow compared to her ambush-tactic speech from earlier. "We don't have anything to really let him do but command the ship. This one. Hoshi pointed down, her hand lit by the glow from the Zesuaium window on the floor of the wardroom and the nearby system's warm pulse shone on her paled pink skin before she brought her hand back up to her hip.

Starting in a whisper, Hoshi said near the newly promoted officer so hopefully him and the best and closest listeners could hear, Hoshi went on.

"I think you act like a slave enough as it is, don't you, Belmont-taii?" She chuckled and spoke louder, "What do you say, will you command a ship for a mission? I need to go planet-side and you need to sink or swim. The fewer crew for you to kill, the better, but I will try to not leave you with a skeleton crew. Thankfully I can pull Chlorate-hei and Deio-heisho will take care of weapons for you, besides for that big pointy part of the ship. The aether array, Grav's got as usual. If you have her fire it for good reason, you might get a gold star on your record, Taii."

Mikael looked over towards Saya. "NCO is typically what we preferred, but a leadership role nonetheless. I fully expect you to outshine everyone. A shame I will not be here to witness it though." Mikael says with a bit of a compassionate smile. Was it genuine or was the black panel just using those roguish SAINT abilities on the crew for once?

He did not let anyone figure it out once Alastair started speaking. He just sat there rather stiffly in his chair. Especially once he started to target the little fox. Being at the butt end of the new political league, he knew there was not much he could do for her. And each of his words just kept poking at his resolve to remain neutral.

Then he finally did it... Mikael's right eye twitched for a few seconds. He just could not believe what he was seeing and hearing. But before he managed to recover from his shock and say something, Hoshi stepped in with her speech.

So he remained sitting chair rather stiffly as he listened on. The reprieve allowed him to stop thinking about Belmont-Taii and instead on his own growth he needed to plan out. There were attributes of an NCO he was still needing to purge and politician attributes he needed to learn.

NCO Harris would have likely said something rather nasty to the Taii. But Shoi Harris doesn't have that protection anymore. He was to be way smarter and likely more neko SAINT in his thinking if he was going to survive. "SAIC, SAIC, SAIC... I am striking for SAIC." he thought to himself.

Kiyo found her question unanswered, but considering the situation, and how they all seemed to have a lot on their minds. She chose not to make a big deal out of it, and she did feel concern for Wulf. She hoped that if she had a name she could use, she could be convincing for their enemy and the mission could go smoothly. She looked at Chlorate, who appeared to want to join them in the field, and she learned that she was trained to operate a tank. “Awesome job of completing your training, Chlorate, though I don’t know if we will have a need for tanks, though not sure,” she said before Alastair began speaking, and then Eden. Alastair had gotten a promotion and he was going to take over the ship.

Satisfied that she had practiced enough of the Leinve language to be passable in the field, Kaiyō Kiana disengaged the volumetric projection over her body and slipped back into her bodysuit before returning to her seat. In spite of her youth, she could sense that something was strange about the strikingly handsome, yet eccentric Second Officer. The reactions that she gauged from the personnel assembled in the room at his antics were a mixture of befuddlement, amusement, and disbelief. Nevertheless, the man had received a promotion, just like almost everyone else in the wardroom. He was also a flag officer, which meant that he presumably had years of experience as a leader. Therefore, he had to be quite competent at his job, in spite of his cringe-inducing and borderline-provocative tendencies.

She couldn’t imagine a scenario in which he was the opposite.

Alastair was taken back when Hoshi commented about him already being a slave. It was completely true that he slaved day and night to make sure this ship ran like clock work. Though he loved his work so would never see this as a bad thing or act like he wanted to do anything else. Yet to acknowledge his hard work was a great feeling.

It took him a moment to understand what was taking place. Did he hear right that he would be in command of a star ship? And not just any star ship, but the very ship he served on. This had to be a dream, for this was too good to be true for him to be given this task. He would without question submit to being a slave on this mission there was no doubting this fact.

"If that is your will Captain Hoshi, I shall support this mission ship side. I shall hand her back in perfect working order I can promise you that. The crew on the Kaiyo will be in good hands with me at the helm." He took his shirt and put it back on. It took him only a moment to smooth it back out, perfectly, as he stood at attention. His smile could not wrap any further around his head. Though part of him still wondered if there was more to this story. Hoshi said she would be going planet side but said nothing of Eden. Granted he could not help but picture himself in command of the ship with Eden by his side. This was almost poetic, maybe even a little bit romantic.

He quickly let this thought pass out of his mind. Now was not the time to daydream about Eden, someone who he looked up to so much. Granted he looked up to Hoshi as well but the story of Eden's life always resonated with him more. May he too walk in her footsteps to become a captain much like she did.
