RP: YSS Eucharis [Mission 23.1] A Distant Threat (YE 37)

Rixxikor Village

Tixx wandered over towards the grill. "Um, what were you saying again?" he stuttered, now completely sloshed on the Lorath wine. By now a number of the insectoid aliens were drunkenly stumbling around and laying around in 'food comas' from all the burgers they had consumed. Overall the barbeque plan was working out better than expected and the Rixxikor seemed willing to talk.

Eucharis Bridge

Hanako monitored the event going on, feeling uncomfortable and edgy. She didn't like having so many of the crew off the ship and there was still the possibility that the unfamiliar, but well-armed ships they'd fought earlier would return to cause additional damage the ship wasn't prepared for. She contacted the teams. "Away teams, this is Eucharis," Hanako said. "I would like everyone to return to the ship as soon as it is convenient. I would like to return to friendly space. Get the information we need and come back to the ship."

Power Armor Bay

"It's alright. I'm sure she wouldn't mind if..." Just then, the other neko came and stripped nude in front of them and Sam shut right up. Damn, she's hot! He thought as he admired her private parts until they were hidden within the armor.

When Sam looked at Akane to get a glimpse of her figure, she was already suited up, so he missed the opportunity. Aw, man... He sighed, then stripped and boarded his Mindy. He'll need to pay more attention to his surroundings next time.

The Mindy's insides were composed of a muscular flesh of some sort. She was so warm, Sam felt like he had naked nekos pressing against him from all sides. He soon got hard from the feeling. Having never actually been touched by a naked girl before, the sensation was amazing. Damn, this armor is so fucking awesome! He really loved how the fleshy armor molded to take in the new dimensions of his growing member. He could really get off in one of these. He slowly moved his hips, but the armor moved with him. Maybe it wasn't possible to get off in one of these armors while one had the helmet on? Course, the armor's controls would be off once he removed the helmet. His strategy should work once the helmet was taken off. He made a mental note to try it the next time he was alone with his Mindy.

Power Armor Bay

Aikiko waited and watched Akane get in her Mindy as she waited on Samuel to don his Mindy. She let her mind drift to wonder how the others were doing off ship as she planned out the next stage of lessons. She stood there, relaxed in her Mindy.

Her attention was caught by Samuel's strange movements once he had gotten the Mindy on. She snickered softly within the confines of the her Mindy. Poor kid, he was going to rupture something.

Seeing them both finally armored up. "Shosho Ketsurui. Nito-Hei Akiashiro requesting permission to take Santo-Hei Darkfire and Santo-Hei Miyako for a training maneuvers outside the ship in Mindy's." On closed Circuit radio. She turned her attention to the weapons and munitions stored in their lockers along one of the walls.

She paced a few steps with her helmet off, then closed the the Locker she stored her PA when not in use.

YSS Eucharis

Umeshu received the report from the recovery team and re-transmitted it along to Tahariel aboard the ship as it came in: "Two patients by the sounds of it. Suites-hei's injuries are the most serious, likely severe burns and trauma from aether reactor containment failure. There is also the matter of the alien pilot, who is unconscious and hurt from gunfire and may need quarantining for safety. Please prepare accordingly, Tahariel-hei."

Rixxikor Village

Umeshu also quickly picked up wireless ping back from Natsumi relieved that they had things in hand, "Yokatta... I hope he is alright. Tahariel will be waiting for you at the Eucharis, so head there first to get him treatment, then we can worry about extracting myself and the BBQ team."

The operations officer surveyed the stumbling and fallen bug men with a certain air of satisfaction as one would a battlefield, looking behind her to Lime and Mango with a smile across her wisteria-colored face. The pair had done a far greater job than any infantryman ever could, cooking burgers on the makeshift grills at what seemed a superhuman speed. Thankfully there had been no need for them to reach for the hidden panic button flamethrower units because of it. Princess Hanako indeed kept only the best Nekovalkyrja in her royal kitchens... though Umeshu was secretly hoping she could ensure next meal they made was a celebratory feast for all the crew's hard work. She also gave a respectful nod to the Rikugun detachment who had managed to keep their trigger fingers in check, despite being quite green and loaded for bear in their Daisies.

From her communicator came the sound of Hanako's voice, reminding her that there was still the clear danger that this 'Kingdom' could return with reinforcements at any moment, and things should be brought to a close once the final few pieces of information fell into place else an ill-timed cruiser started firing on them again. "Hai... understood, Shosho. I am pleased to report that Operation Cookout is a success, and will be wrapping up shortly. I will be interviewing the village elder Tixx momentarily to complete our intelligence gathering data, and the Telemachus V can then rendezvous with us for extraction after completing their medevac mission."

Umeshu straightened her AMES a moment as the Rixxikor she had been searching for for some time was coming towards her. He was mentioned by Rixx Jixa as the oldest and wisest among them, and the previously foul-tempered bug man was now quite inebriated and seemed very suggestible. As he stuttered, she took a step forward and ever so gingerly put an arm around his carapace to generate some comraderie. "Oh, I just wanted to apologize for what happened at your house before. It's quite a nice one, the biggest and best in the whole village..." Her flattering, feminine voice was soft and smooth, and likely seemed all the more innocuous to the Rixxikor's distorted senses. "Dd the Kingdom help you build this place or tell you why they brought you here? I didn't quite catch their name and where they are from either... you know, just incase we'd like to ask for their help, too. They must have some very nice space ships..."

Shuttle

"Roger that, Shosho" Natsumi replied to Hanako's orders, then switched channels to Umeshu, "Understood, will drop off Suits-hei for medical treatment, then pick up your party. Hope you guys are packing up, we will not be long" she said, then turned her attention to Candon and Mitsuko.

"Just hang on a few more minutes, Suites-hei" she said to Candon, "We'll have you back on the Eucharis in no time for a nice dip in the hemosynth tank, make you right as rain again" she said with a comforting smile as the two Neko's maneuvered him onto the shuttle and gingerly settled him down.

"You got him? I have to fly" she said to Mitsuko, then darted into the cockpit, sliding into the pilot's seat. She hit the buttons to seal the hatch and kick in the gravity control system at the same time, lifting the shuttle smoothly off the ground. She oriented the nose towards where Tony and Jaxx had been left to recover the pilot, after picking them up it would be off to the Eucharis and kicked the engines in, ramping up to military power, keeping the acceleration low so as not to cause Candon any more discomfort as she cruised them to the crash site.

"Starke, Jax, get your prisoner aboard the shuttle asap, we are pulling out ASAP" she called over the comm as she brought the shuttle down low, it was just a short hop to them.

Med Lab

Taharial moved frantically making sure the table was ready to receive her patient and also to make sure the containment cell was well equipt to hold their alien guest and gulped. She kept her speed up preparing equipment for helping both patients and gets on comms "Taharial-hei here, Med Lab is ready to receive the patients, hemosynth tank and table for Suites-hei and a cell for the pilot just incase it is needed."

She started to pace now waiting and worrying the long that the injured didn't get full medical treatment the more likely serious wounds would happen that could be dangerous and she was worried for them.

Rixxikor Village

"Well..." Tixx said, squinting and looking off into the sky, "They call themselves the Interstellar Kingdom of Kuvexia, and their civil servants said they were giving us an 'opportunity' to move to a place where we would have plenty of room to farm and expand. It wasn't much of a choice, and I took it without needing any time to think about it. We needed this move. So they brought us here on their ships and we have been starting a new colony. Also the Kingdom has been giving us a lot of guns to protect ourselves."

Shuttle

Mitsuko nodded in response as Natsumi assisted with hauling Candon into the shuttle. She winced at his screams, and the mental static he was producing, but tried her best to block it out. His injuries were painful, uncomfortable, but not life threatening. They didn't have the time to treat him more delicately or the training to provide him with better care. Soon they had him laid out on the floor of the shuttle, and Murakami began preparing him for the trip. Thankfully her experience using the thick red straps to secure cargo and machine guns also seemed to apply quite well to injured crew members, and it didn't look like he'd slide around or be moving anywhere.

"I have him, Yamashiro-Shoi. Just get us home. Please." She opened one of the ship's survival kits, using a sleeping bad as a makeshift pillow to keep Candon's head from bouncing on the hard metal floor. The PMS continued to monitor his condition for her, warning her about the damaged vertebrae. She sat on the floor by his head to help hold his head steady on top of the cushioning, unable to do much else for him. The machine warned against further medication, including sedation.

Crash Site

Jax was relieved, in a sense, that they were recovering Candon, and not what was left. He came to rest at the entrance to the shuttle and continued to sweep his weapon across the field. As soon as the last person boarded, he would, too.

Power Armor Bay

Sam drops down and does 500 push-ups cause he feels extra strong in the Mindy.

Rixxikor Village

Umeshu listened carefully to Tixx's responses, especially the part about the kingdom's name. Kuvexia? She certainly had never recalled hearing of it until now. But as she put the image of the flag seen on the cruiser they engaged before together with it, it gave the officer an ominous feeling. The bug men were likely just a distraction, as it was suggested before... useful for keeping the Star Army of Yamatai busy while a far greater threat was plotting and planning from some unknown corner of the sector.

"I see, that was very generous of them, providing for your hungry quadrillions..." replied Umeshu to the Rixxikor elder, as it was hard to say the numerical word without at least a little bit of disbelief and perhaps a twinge of fear at how many more there could be out there, easily manipulated to do whoever's bidding was feeding them. "Did the Kuvexians ever say anything negative about the Star Army of Yamatai to your people? Or desire that you take up those weapons against us?"

As she waited for his response, she gave the order to the two cooks to begin to slowly bring the tempo of grilling to a close, and watched Bjarnson-hei carefully as he wrapped up his own fact finding with Rixx Jixa and several others.

Shuttle

Trudging in, Tony dropped the heavy alien onto a seat and grunted. "Fuck that thing was a chore..." She grumbled before going up and taking the co-pilot seat next to Nats. "Glad you waited for us..." she sighed before winking and leaning back into the set. Stripping her helmet Antonia shook out her hair and made sure her rifle was in a good spot beside her seat before bringing up the spare controls and getting ready for any commands from the left seat.

Eucharis P.A. Bay

Aikiko seeing that the two were fully armored up in Mindy's She led the way over to the Armory where the weapons were stored. She motioned the two, Akane and Samuel to join her.

"This is were the weapons for your Mindy's is stored. You want balanced load for all contingencies yet without weighing yourself down with useless gear. Start with the basic load out of assault weapon for both long range and short range. Then genades for bunker busting and mass causalities of the enemy." Moving along the racks that held the weapons and munitions. "You want enough to complete the job at hand with just enough left over for extraction."

Pausing to look back at the two. "Also take a look at what the others are choosing so your load out covers what they miss. That is why it is important to get here when others arrive."

Shuttle

Natsumi smiled at Antonia as she settled into the copilots seat next to her. "Well, wouldn't do to leave you behind" she replied and, now that all were aboard, she lifted the shuttle off and anged for the Eucharis.

"Keep an eye on the sensors, make sure no one tails us or shoots at us" the snowy haired neko said, then opened a channel to the mothership.

"Shuttle to Eucharis, we are inbound with wounded and a prisoner, be ready for our arrival" she announced.

Power Armor Bay

"Yes, ma'am." Akane bowed to her superior then checked through the loadout of her mech. She glanced over at her comrade and asked, "Do you have any preference on how you want your unit optimized? I don't mind altering how I do things, since I don't have any real preference."

Power Armor Bay

Sam thinks for a few moments. "Well, I'm thinking my unit would be optimized if you were in here with me, but I'm not sure these suits have enough room for two. Any suggestions?"

P.A Bay

Aikiko moved off from the two, yet she was eve-dropping on the conversation of Sam and Akane. She resumed her work on getting her manipulator arms set repaired by up loading the set schematics and plans uploaded into the Fabricator. She would have to do something about Sam if the situation with him continued and before it became a problem with the harmony within the team.

Power Armor Bay

Akane rolled her eyes for a moment before catching herself. Just because Sam liked her didn't mean she had any right to be rude to him. Taharial would have other thoughts about just his advancements, but those would have to wait.

"We'll have to talk to Taharial about squeezing into a suit while off duty," Akane said sweetly. "For now, is there any combat specifications you think you'd be better suited to?"

Her hope was to get the proper response out of her comrade one way or another.

Power Armor Bay

"Woah! Sharing a Mindy with two hot girls?" Sam grinned. "Sounds like fun." Suddenly, he frowned. "But, I'm not so sure her wings would fit. Unless..." He starts walking around the Power Armor Bay in search of an extra large Mindy that could be used for a threesome.

Power Armor Bay

CLANG! Reverberated through out the Power Armor Bay.

Aikiko facepalmed, forgetting she wearing her Mindy. She began to wonder what the fine would be for shooting a fellow crewmember and would it be worth it. Her Mindy powered up the build-in weapons on the Mindy's forearms.

Spinning around and seeing Samuel moving about the Power Armor Bay. Aikiko moved quickly and silently, even in power armor and slammed into Samuel.

CLANG! Armor slamming into armor.

"Focus on your assignment, Santo-Hei!" She growled, "You aint even chosen one weapon or device to enhance your survival outside the ship!" To bad the glare went unnoticed due to the mirrored visor on her helmet. She backed up a step into a defensive stance.
