Tankette Line
Eden was torn between creating solid volumetrics and being able to shoot down the shuttles with their weapons systems that had that kind of range. She looked to Kikyō and sent reassuring feelings while also outlining on her HUD a good place to stand beside Meissa and away from the easily targeted tanks.
"Arinori-hei!" Eden called out. "Exceptional idea! Prepare solid volumetric barriers placed at Arinori-hei's discretion, team. This will happen only after they're on top of us. If you'll remember their shuttles did not have offensive weaponry the last time we encountered one. It's only what's inside of those that we need to worry about. Tankette operators ready missiles on my mark! Those with long-range atmospheric weapons, fire on my word!"
She then flew up a couple dozen meters and primed her own gauss weapons, readying herself.
"Fire!" the Shosa said as she released twelve rounds in one second from both shoulder-mounts. She then waited to see what ensued from her own shots and what her team members would do, as well.
Wilderness
Leeta watched Jax and asked, "What is it about your species that makes you want to leave them behind? What made you want to come to the Star Army instead?" She stepped forward and trounced upon one almost typical mushroom that was a part of a ring, though they were all blue with red spots. "Oh ah..." She pointed down towards the ring and looked to Jax.
YSS Kaiyō II
Bridge
"Chlorate," Hoshi said over the comms the drone was using, "This is Taiyou Hoshi, a Chusa in the Star Army of Yamatai. We will give you safe harbor with time and trust, but you have to do so for yourself, as well. Get out of the field of battle." She switched comms off and looked to Kyōi who had moved the ship up and out of the clearing and towards the shuttlecraft.
Hoshi said, "Kiseki-hei, continue on an intercept course. Take what shuttles you can out from here, Shan-hei." She turned to Saki, looking at the position of her fingers on the console and grimaced.
