Re: Mission 5: Amaya's Gate
Miyoko cursed under her breath as the gunships split out of a tight formation, making finding a point to catch all of them at once a losing prospect. With the graviton beams being ineffective, too, she turned them off, saving the power for the shields until they could accomplish more.

"Well, since you've volunteered, Gunshin-hei, you can be point for the time being. and Asher, let that wound heal, I don't want it getting infected because you wanted to play with yourself." Kai said, still with his Thermoptic camouflage activated. there was nothing they could do here, so Kai began to move out, looking around the room to make sure there weren't any booby traps left by their enemies.

Re: Mission 5: Amaya's Gate
Every sneaky plan Yukari might've had in her mind was tossed when she saw the gunship headed for Kotori.
Though Miharu might not survive protecting its Taisa, the Nekovalkyrja was the only real weapon they had against Eve and Melisson. She had to live.
The four Sakuras headed for the ship's flank were just going to have to live a while longer, Yukari thought. There was no time to focus on them. All she could do was angle the ship toward the fifth gunship headed toward Kotori, while juking and tacking along the starfield to provide the most unpredictable pattern she could conjure. She also angled the shields toward those ships.
"Taii, use turret fire on those Sakuras! Find some kind of firing solution for Dokueki! Heisho, have the Urikos start this way to protect the Taisa!"

Re: Mission 5: Amaya's Gate
Nyton grit his teeth as he set the turrets on a defensive pattern to work with Yukari's erratic movements to further prevent the enemy ships from scoring anymore hits on them. For now they were fighting from the weaker stance while they work like mad to change that. Letting Miharu focus on the turrets keeping up a steady barrage he then concentrated on the enemy designated Dokueki. Using what data he had obtained from Miyoko he determined he could still use it to assist him. He wasn't going for a torpedo shot but instead figured he could use the data to better triangulate it's movement patterns so he could shoot a tight spread of fire from the main canon while not hitting Kotori in the process. It wouldn't do to hit the one they were trying to protect. While using his now natural left hand to focus on the firing of the main weapon he used his right hand to quickly type out messages.

Re: Mission 5: Amaya's Gate
When the klaxons went off, Tom didn't have time to do much more than dart out of the room, abandoning the armor project altogether.
Already, Yuzuki was relaying the damage information to the engineer, which was forming a prioritized list.
He opened a volumetric window to the bridge as he forwarded commands to Yuzuki.
"Starboard-dorsal ship armor suffered extensive damage but is holding," Tom said between breaths as he sprinted. "Comm array damaged, YARD drone numbers depleted! Retrieving them before more losses sustained! Flushing coolant into affected areas to prevent further mutation in armor, en-route to sensor dome to try to restore communications! Suggest diverting some shielding resources to damaged areas and sparing areas over non-critical functions."
He reached the next floor of the ship, where the sensor dome was, as he was communicating with Nyton. He rounded the corner and then...
"...GAH!" Tom gasped, and bent over, looking away as he choked down his vomit at the gore before him. "ughh... AND WHY IS THERE A DEAD YOU THERE!?"

Kyou smiled inside her helmet. "No problem, I'm fine with that." She moved ahead, trying to keep her movements smooth and connected to make it less likely they'd be spotted. At the same time, she was constantly scanning the path ahead, looking for any sign of the enemy, or something the enemy might possibly have left behind for them.

Grimacing underneath her helmet, Masako snorted in frustration. Of course they would reroute command functions to another site, but the Warrant Officer doubted they would retreat from this section without any resistance.
"We'll continue on then." the Wing Leader replied as she activated her own Thermoptic camouflage. After all, it wouldn't be smart to be the only one walking around without it. "Move cautiously though, there's no telling what we will meet in the utility corridor."

"Er, no problem. How are you snagged against somethi- eep!" Rin squeaked as the alarms went off. They were back in combat?! She was tempted to just pull on Eiko's leg, but if she was snagged against something sharp, the could cause some very very bad things to happen.
Rin sweatdropped as she lowered herself to the hole and peered in, trying to get a sense of how exactly Eiko was stuck. Her actions were sped up a bit as Eiko mentioned that it hurt.Tom said:

@Amaya's Gate:
Shrouded from sight thanks to their thermoptic stealth, the Black Knights - with Kyou in the lead - hovered down the vertical shaft and made their entry into the utility corridor leading to the next power reactor room.
They inched cautiously forward with no incident until they arrived at the threshold of the room holding the monitoring equipment watching over the operation of the heavily shielded Matter/Anti-Matter reactor. The blast shutter so they had no impediment to going in.
It was much like the two other rooms Kurohoshi and Nakamura teams had visited before. It looked deserted of any hostiles and had the odd addition of two wide maintenance console set up over the main walkway through that looked like it would provide idea cover for any attacker that would come down from the next utility corridor which lead back to the ring's main access corridor.
Aside from the rumbling of the shielded machinery, nothing else seemed to stir.
* * *
@Miharu:
Miharu broke into an unsteady charge after the Dokueki, leaving her rear quarter bared to her attackers. Despite Yukari's erratic maneuvering, there was too much concentrated fire coming from behind for her to keep track of, so she selectively decided to only pay attention to the 0.6c positron discharges, which could do the ship the worst harm.
After all, as long as the regenerative shields worked 'as designed', the Sakuras could pour concentrated mobile weapon fire at them for minutes and nothing would get through.
Out of the 8 positron shots, only one struck Miharu in the rear, the anti-matter projectile landing heavily over Hoshi's ventral armor. The hit - very close to the bridge - caused a brief but very violent quake for the three bridge operators. Luckily, the armor was marred yellow on the displays and not breached thanks to the ship's regenerative shielding. The energized armor also blunted the positive energy interference Hoshi's electronics would have had normally suffered.
The ninety-or-so mobile pods raked Miharu's rear with polaron beams, but just like Yukari had counted on, those didn't leave a scratch. Through SPINE, she felt the regenerative shielding efficiently cycle through redundant generators, making sure their protection was not depleted under the onslaught.
All four Sakura attackers ended up in Miharu's aft quadrant, which allowed all six turreted particle cannons to be at Nyton's disposal. Unfortunately, at the breakneck speed of Yukari's erratic maneuvers, none of the turrets managed to land a hit, though they forced all four enemy ships to dip and weave around evasively as well.
The four gunships ended up in a closer formation. The Tamamo, Otoroshi and Oiwa stabilized their flight in order to fire another volley of their positron railguns, 40 000 kilometers behind Miharu and closing. The Koyryu, though, hurriedly veered off to the side and did not attack.
In the meantime, Dokueki seemed to lose interest in the fighter-bomber it pursued - it was just an oddity to it - and made a 180-degree spin to face Miharu before firing its twin railguns after its pursuer. The gunship's poise, straight toward them and advancing their way, could provide as good a firing solution as he would get with the main gun if Yukari could point their nose at it and keep the ship stable long enough for him to fire.
The Ryusei II outdistanced its former-pursuer and was now only 10 light seconds from the Gate, with the Urikos swooping its way to escort it.

@Miharu's Sensor Dome:
The white-haired sprite seemed to be taking the presence of the blasted, shattered corpse in stride. "I wanted to dispose of it, but the Taii said he needed it for later."
Hinoto then turned and pointed to the port crawlway hatch. "Freeman-Juni, this is the nearest access to the damage we took. Be careful: it must be boiling hot in there."
"I am fine," Hinoto briefly tossed Nyton's way. Hoshi obliged the Nepleslian by relaying her reply into a text window.

Kyou paused at the entry to the next area. "Seems too quiet for a place that should be this defended. Watch yourselves." She checked to make sure her camo and shields were operating at full capacity, then stepped through the doorway, quickly moving out of the entryway to try and escape any choke points and the like.

"Iss' too quiet, yeah..." Asher followed in behind Kyou, switching to his gauss weapon. The soldier kept wary of his surroundings, and decided to pair up with the point-woman as he did in the previous room. She hadn't been scathed, and pretty much avoided certain death in the Shuttle Bay, so it was likely that she was one of those rare 'Good Luck' Nekos that live a long time, like Yukari.
"I say we go ahead n'break somethin'. Tha' lack a'noise is gettin' annoyin'." The Yamataian grumbled, scanning around the room.

Re: Mission 5: Amaya's Gate
Yukari snap-rolled Miharu 90 degrees on its Y-axis and kept the ship on the same course, nose pointed at Dokueki. She was counting on the Sakura gunner having fired shots only generally zeroed on Miharu's position, as if she were firing the ship's aether shock array, instead of right on the prow, which would have required more time after turning around to face Miharu. With the ship tilted, she sped up into the pair of shots, however, to try and reach them while they were still wide apart.
She only had a couple dozen meters to spare on either side. Yukari tightened the shield bubble to hug the ship's geometry instead of occupying extra space.
Kotori looked safe for that moment.
The Sakuras had grouped up again, this time behind the ship. Now or never.
"Taii, fire main gun fore, torpedo aft! Heisho, graviton beams on those projectiles!"

Re: Mission 5: Amaya's Gate
@Rin
"Ahhh!" Rin heard a cry of terror escape from the trapped sprite as Miharu shook. "Sister, get me out of here! Please!"
Rin crawled into the hole, shining a small utility flashlight into the darkness. Right in front of her was a wall of metal, with a shaft going up. She had to roll on her back and shimmy her way up, flashlight in mouth, to reach an angle to view up the shaft. It was tight, even for a nekovalkyrja's small frame, and the walls were suffocatingly close to hugging her on all sides.
Then she saw the rather odd sight before her: the bottom half of a sprite's figure. Rather prominently displayed was Eiko's rear end, between wild kicks of her two legs. It was impossible to see any further as her figure was wrapped around whatever snagged her.
But something caught Rin's eye. A large piece of siding from the shaft had slid off and made contact with Eiko's stomach, firmly holding her in place.
A single drop of blood fell square on Rin's nose. The edges of whatever snagged her sister must have been pretty jagged.

Tom ignored the whole 'dead Nyton body' for the time being, but couldn't help but note Hinoto's disturbingly calm reaction to the sight.

"Well, Before we lost contact, I was told we need to have the gate in working condition..." Kai mentioned to Asher, following along behind them. Looking up at the control panels, Kai made his way up to look at them, as well as to see if the higher vantage point could be helpful.
He did, however, make sure there were no silent, stealthy enemies in his way before he would get too close.

Re: Mission 5: Amaya's Gate
With mechanical precision, the Daisy's chest plate was being put into place; all of Nao's attention was focused onto this one single task at hand. As a result, the shaking of the ship and what seemed to be distant cries went unnoticed by the tunnel visioned sprite. "Almost...there..." Her lips thinned out as she concentrated on the final contact point. A bead of sweat went down her face and into her eye. Without a blink, she kept working. The power armor was literally a millimeter away from completion when -
Nao bolted upright in surprise and did just as she was told and easing back from what she was doing. Her attitude went from intense focus to cheery purpose. "Ah! I got orders girls. I'll need someone to cover for me while I go make repairs. Finish this last spot here please. Sorry!" Nao pulled away from her work spot and quickly grabbed a spare toolkit as Freeman-Juni had instructed. Her eyes quickly darted over the contents to make sure everything she'd need was there. Next, Nao did a quick once over of her AMES before taking off.
As she neared the Sensor Dome, she couldn't help but be nagged by her utmost desire at perfection. That infinitesimally small bit she was so close to finishing on that Daisy eluded her! The sprite kept on thinking to herself, 'I was so close to finishing it perfectly! So close I could have tasted -' Nao let out a gasp of surprise and swore out loud at the sight of what had to be Nyton's body.
"Holy Haggis!" She quickly shook her head side to side to clear the thoughts from her mind as best she could before spotting Tom. Her demeanor changed to all business at the drop of a pin. "Freeman-Juni, I'm here as ordered sir."

Re: Mission 5: Amaya's Gate
Energized by the thrill, excited by the brief shake up of the bridge, and strangely uplifted by the message relayed to him by Hoshi Nyton zeroed in the main canon on the Dokueki. All the calculations and data along with consideration to not hit Kotori was fed into the fire trajectory as he unloaded four pulse shots at the Dokueki.
The pursuing enemies would be met by both Transphasic Aether torpedoes fired in a wide arc to catch the three pursuing ships in an encompassing blast. Along with the two torpedoes Nyton also set the four turrets mounted on the dorsal and ventral fins to spray towards the aft enemy. He kept the Koyryu in mind and targeted it with Hoshi's twin nose mounted turrets to fire and prevent it from having an unopposed approach.
As soon as the torpedoes were launched Nyton immediately set to reload, this time with a subspace detonator along with an anti-matter torpedo. Because of the fact they were traveling at STL speeds he tweaked the payload of the subspace torpedo to reduce the blast radius. Hopefully the tighter radius would be easier to work with than the original optimal one.

Tom nodded as Nao arrived and pointed an armored hand towards the port crawlway hatch.
"Our communications are down. I need you to fit in there, find out what's wrong and repair it. It's going to be extremely hot; make sure your AMES is up to the challenge. You should have some portable coolant in your toolkit, along with your other tools. I have coolant running into the damaged sections of the hull, but it may not adequately reach where you are going."
More damage information was fed to the engineer. The bridge had taken a hit, but held.
"Good luck."

Re: Mission 5: Amaya's Gate
The brief jolt as a shot slammed into the Hoshi jostled Miyoko in ways that her still-tender body didn't appreciate. When this is all over, she told herself, I am going to find the softest surface in the ship and sleep on it for three weeks straight... At the moment, though, she had more pressing concerns, and she did her best to settle into a position that didn't rest any weight on her myriad bruises before continuing.
At Yukari's order, Miyoko powered up the graviton beams again, doing her best to put up a decent wall of interference between the Miharu and the prow of any ship pointing at her long enough to get a shot off. At the speeds and distances the projectiles had to cover, she only had to divert their paths by fractions of a degree to make them miss entirely... but when the speeds involved were expressed in terms of c, that was easier said than done.
The brief jolt as a shot slammed into the Hoshi jostled Miyoko in ways that her still-tender body didn't appreciate. When this is all over, she told herself, I am going to find the softest surface in the ship and sleep on it for three weeks straight... At the moment, though, she had more pressing concerns, and she did her best to settle into a position that didn't rest any weight on her myriad bruises before continuing.
