Sacre nodded, assessing the situation. She sent eight of her NSBs towards where the cannons were to get better firing solutions on them, two per cannon. She sent the rest towards the aft to give her a firing solution on anyone who showed up. Eden was heading towards the the bridge, so she would get that on lockdown. There were four cannons in the corners of the huge hanger. On the plus side, they were not flying yet. On the downside, there was nothing preventing a desperate person from firing them with her inside. "Allright! Let's get rid of these bad boys. We'll start with the ones at the fore where Eden's heading to. The Starboard one, then the port one. Then we'll work on getting rid of the aft two. Perhaps that will give everyone who's trying to give Eden a bad day, something else to think about." Sacre said, taking the targeting data she had gathered and relaying it to the whole team. "Fire at will." She said, opening fire herself with her Shoulder-Fired 20mm Gauss Cannon.

The crewmember who tried to get into the maintenance panel backed out, her mindy was too big to get in there. Odo had no big modifications to his mindy.

"Here, let me try." He said to the other technician. He stepped in front and squeezed his tighter frame into the conduit, it was very tight, his suit occasionally scraping the walls. He even had to walk bent over. He powered on his lights to see down the internals, and advanced forward towards the next goal. He sent a message to Eden about a successful entry into the conduit.

"Suites-heisho," Emi's mild voice began the next order, "Continue at your own discretion and terminate all enemy combatants. Clear the way for my transition to Kaiyō. Prevent it's destruction at all costs."

"Copy that," came the soldier's response.

"Copy that," Candon replied to his superior then switched to Gravity, "glad to assist, Kaiyō. Spectre on standby for new targets. Requesting sensor data incoming relevant to incoming hostiles."

The PA bay door opened momentarily for a Xilurium black Mindy to launch into space. After some quick scans the flash of teleportation marked her departure from her location in space, a similar flash announcing her arrival near the Kaiyō II.

"Kaiyō II, this is Jinja-Chujo. I will be docking momentarily," she radioed as Boss opened up the PA bay door for her to enter and land, exiting the suit without missing a beat and leaving the suit where it stood as she made her way to the bridge where she would await the captain's permission to enter.

"Understood Shosa." Came William's terse reply. As Eden moved into the alcove area, the black Air 2 passed by her and into the zero G passage. As his armor began to lift off the ground, pushed himself hard moving quickly to the next level. He used a quick burst from his jets to right his course and place him next to Wyatt.

As his feet made contact, he magnitized himself in place and scanned for enemies. If one popped out, they would be greeted by a fusion lance to the heart. "Anything?" he asked the marksman.

YSS Kaiyō II
Bridge

A duo of Nekovalkyrja in AMES that identified themselves to Jinja Emi as Ittô Hei Halsie Nighni and Felice Armistice had escorted the Chujo to the bridge. They had to key in the commands at the blast doors on the way there. They also offered the red-marked and pale-faced woman an AMES of her own.

Once at their destination, they saluted at the round, three level bridge's entrance. The blast door opened internally, this time and, soon, they were gone while Jinja Emi's focus had likely shifted from them to the starship operator with grey panels and dusty blue eyes and choppy red hair that had opened the blast door from within the bridge.

"Ittô Heisho Deio Asuka," she said with a bow. "Chusa Taiyou Hoshi would like to see you in her ready room."

She led the way to behind the highest deck of the bridge and opened the door behind the captain's chair, showing the way into a darkened room where Hoshi was sitting in a far corner.

There was a small tunnel-like accessible hallway. Much like the door and adjoining hallway Eden had busted into, this one had a wall facing the conduit's entrance. To the left, it obviously went to the blast doors in the center of the wall and to the right, unknown territory. The scans of the ship would show, though, that they were another way to access weapons systems.

The NSBs that were deployed and were amongst those skittering up through the zero gravity passageway flung themselves onto different decks. Wyatt and the other point men following orders were behind them. As the NSBs deployed on multiple decks and faced hostiles or inaction, the drones began asking for orders from their power armor units, but were ready and on the function to kill immediately on the decks where enemies had been found. Five out of ten decks had hostiles and the ship had about thirty decks, only two thirds of which had already been covered by drones.

The next deck from the one that Wyatt and Wiliam had entered on seemed to be an empty and expansive bathing room and was clear.

Eden gave the order for her own NSBs to kill on sight and then began getting alerts as the NSBs shot up unarmored individuals. Soon, though, several alerts came in. One was that a possible bridge, one that was two decks tall, had been scouted by a drone that had been shot down by internal point defense, as well as a different location scouted by a separate drone of captain's quarters that took up even more space but had less security than the bridge. Another alert was that many of her actively attacking NSBs were being struck down by the enemy through weapons fire or expert gymnastics. Eden waited to hear what her forward strike team thought after sending the alerts to their HUD.

Cavern

All was still besides in the cavern besides for the SAoY component. When the weapons systems were locked onto and some shooting began, the sound of the screeching of metal being torn could be heard as the weapons fire cut into the cavern's ceiling immediately on the starboard side first.

“Uhm I’ve got cables here under the panels. They look important? Maybe we can do something with that once someone confirms what they are and what shooting them would do.” Ragnar added over comms while finishing the firing position.

It’s when he heard fire from friendlies start that he snapped right back to the fields of his last assignment. His weapon was raised in the direction of the other bay first and then began swiveling throughout all zones as he made himself comfortable following the science team members where ever they would go. Oh sure, let’s aggravate the ship full of hostile power armor; he thought with a mix of excitement and nerves creeping over him. Any one keeping track of his vitals would take note that his pulse remained a steady 62 while his blood pressure began to steadily rise.

What would Bjorn do? He thought to himself while waiting for everything to go pear shaped.

Shooting conduits and inanimate objects, now this was something Saya COULD do. Taking aim at the same point as Sacre, Saya began to open fire with her rifle, using the projectile mode to hopefully damage the systems. She just kept the fire up, hoping someone would help them out. She could see Rangar taking point in protecting them and that relaxed Saya a touch as she continued to fire up into the

"Negative, just a whole lot of nothing," Wyatt communicated back to William, although he spent a few more seconds looking around after speaking to the man who's armour he remembered carrying bridal style one time...

"I'm guessing they've fallen back to secu-" he was going to continue before the alerts began flooding his hud's corners, the copper-haired Minkan took a moment to look them over. The bridge had first caught the attention of his amber orbs but what stole his attention further was the attached captain's quarters. Wyatt began looking for greater detail in the scans where they might reveal a vent or a maintenance hatch or even a hollow section of wall he'd have to cut into that held cables and ran from the current room - up to the captains quarters or at least got him closer.

"Alder-Hei to Shosa-Eden, current space is clear but I'm looking for a flanking opportunity - requesting that you slave a spare NSB to my suit to enhance my scanning capabilities if one is available, over," he explained over comms, mentally kicking himself for not bringing his own drones but feeling lucky that so many others had decided to do so.

Itto Juni Iemochi glanced back over to Peio as she called out for a scientist, gazing at his mushroom-haired colleage for a moment, then stowing his MAW over one shoulder with its strap. Gesturing to the hole above them, still open to space - "Someone cover that, I've got a spare scanner. Kaori, switch with me if you want me to cover you instead of vice versa."

Beginning to pace over to where the request had come from, Mochi rummaged around in his bumbag for the scanner he kept stowed inside his Mindy. This particular one only every used on PA missions, scuffed and bashed in places from wear and tear as the armored blonde drew up to the smaller PA. Starting a broad range scan over in the direction of the launchers, cannons, hull, whatever he could fit in. Gradually thinning down his range onto the things that stood out.

The AMES spacesuit hiding the rank patch on her bodysuit would fail to hide her very status as Emi returned the bow with a very slight one before following the Ittô Heisho silently to the commander she had arrived to bring news to.
"Hoshi Chusa," she greeted softly, this time with a more respectful bow, "we have an urgent reassignment from Command, though we discuss it later. What is the situation?"

William cursed silently as the warning went off. "I'm heading up to engage. I'll get their attention." He said as he kicked back off from the deck and into the zero G passage. He checked his HUD and moved up two levels, before he touched back down.

He was ready for combat as soon as he hit the lip of the deck. His mass driver was up, his mini missile system was scanning for targets, and his engines were primed to quickly fly him into the heat of combat. "Searching for hostiles." He reported over comms.

Around the point Kiki mentioned that she gave up, Walter ran some basic math. Out of everyone here, he's the only other acting nerd who knows his ships. Kiki can't fit through, due to her restricting bulk. While Walter's about as bulky as she is, he doesn't have wing, he has super strength, and he has his Star Servantines. That will do nicely for getting through the vents.

"Yare yare daze! Kikios-hei, I will be taking your place," Walter verbally announced. His floating gauntlets, working in tandem with his NSBs, began removing the gear equipped on his Mindy Armor. "I will be able to force my way through the vent. Watch my six while I get inside."

Walter glanced back at Arete, texting her a small message: 'Going in instead of Kiki. Wish me luck! Thumbs up.'

With that, Walter squatted down, used.his brute strength to widen the conduit entry point, and began crawling inside. He forced his hands through the cables, pulling on them with such force as he crawled along that he was damaging them as Walter went. His gear, suspended midair via his extra hands, followed behind.

IYS Empire
Conduit

As Odo walked further down the conduit, he heard shooting coming out from the main area. He wasnt sure if it was friendlies or the enemy, but he didnt have time to worry about that. He also heard a noise coming from the entrance, and he turned back, illuminating a man, who his system identified as Walter pushing his way through the conduit, making a mess of the interiors. Odo was glad this wasnt his ship he would have to maintain. He simply nodded at the man and continued down the end towards branching paths.

He looked and saw the left one end pretty short, and assumed that was the bay doors, but the right one continued further on.


"I guess we are going right." He said to his companion, and backed up to the left pathway, keeping his rifle pointed down the right pathway, while he waited for Walter to reach the branch. At least he would have backup and not have to go head first into the unknown with out any help.

Alastair picked up the report from the drones about the layout he carried most about. Granted he expect to find Eve on the bridge but just maybe she was in the captain's quarters. This seemed like a cunning move to lay in wait in a less secure area while the crew is weakened fighting the stronger foes thinking she would be on the bridge.

"I am heading to what looks to be the captain's quarters. Wish me luck." His comms closed and his drones returned to him. They hovered just overhead ready to blast holes in anything in front of him.

YSS Kaiyō II
Ready Room

Hoshi went into it right away.

"Thank you, Chujo. A hybrid known as Pumpkin entered this universe's space with use of Plumeria-class gunships, supposedly outfitted with TTD or TTD-level technology. Shortly after, we made contact with a hostile force of this universe, one IYS Uvularia. We have her captain aboard, in the brig. She was injected with saline by a crew member during the beginning of questioning. The questioning was ended immediately by the XO, Teien-shosa, and the crew member was removed from the room. The captain of the IYS ship is currently being held in the medical bay under guard of two of our Nekovalkyrja. We also managed to capture their MEGAMI Nekovalkrja unit, but the procedure to remove any information was a loss. The MEGAMI is being held in the fabrication bay under one Nekovalkrja guard."

Hoshi took in a breath and went on, "We have a power armor team within the flagship of their force, the IYS Empire, which we believe Eve to be on. The team is midway through their mission and separated into groups at this time. The XO is moving towards the bridge as we speak while a group is tasked with taking out main weaponry. There is a large force of power armors and weaponized Mishhuvurthyar on board the IYS Empire. By weaponized, I mean... Well, I have a hunch that upon winning the war against the Mishhuvurthyar, Eve used their technologies and their bodies to her advantage. I dread what they have in store. I have not yet had a chance to share these thoughts with my crew."

She pursed her lips, and nodded down gently, indicating in a way that she was done speaking.

IYS Empire
Captain's Quarters

As Alastair approached the grandiose doors to the captain's suite, he would pick up several infrared targets within the double doors. They were scattered and not in any kind of military arrangement for holding a room. Some were hiding behind pillars, it seemed, while others were half covered by beds. Two were tied up in the center of the room, as they were in positions befitting someone that was bound up in some way. There were also levels of depth to their positions, such as one would see of a room that spanned several decks.

Zero Gravity Passageway

Eden grabbed Wyatt's elbow for a quick second while jetting past him.

"I need you on their command deck," Teien-shosa said in a text, now looking down at him. "I'm triangulating a NSB to be used by you."

Random Deck

Wiliam walked in to this deck's hallway, which was quite wide and had doors to the left and right of it and went on for twenty meters before forking. He would immediately see a heat signature and then a power armor-clad figure jettisoned out of the corner of the room, intent on knocking him out with her outstetched arms, it seemed. Then, her forearm weaponry went off just a couple of meters from Wiliam's armor as she sprung towards him.

Cavern

Mochi's scans would show identifiable species on the other side, as well as a number of chemicals and compounds used in weapons and armors systems. There were Mishhuvurthyar on the other side.

The girthy tube began spraying out various-colored fluid. Anyone with a science scanner nearby could use the appropriate attachment and see it was coolant, predominantly.

Conduits

The conduits spilled out into a big area that was mostly infrastructure and tubing while also connecting to other passages. They could enter conduits that stayed close to the walls of the interior of the ship or thrust out into the inky darkness of the somewhat empty area between hull and interior. There was also explicit access to the side of one of the legacy cannons from their vantage point.

IYS Empire
Captain's Quarters

Alastair had to check his sensor readings twice to understand what he was looking at. The heck, why is there two people tied up in the captain's quarters? He thought for a moment and recalled all the reports of how brutal this empire was. He expected this was not only the captain's quarters but might also be the a torture chamber. This was also a huge room. Being able to cover it all quickly would prove a challenge.

He cleared his thoughts and readied himself. He calmed his breathing as he focused where each of the people are. The two tied up posed the least threat. Ones taking cover behind the pillars the most followed by the ones in and around the beds.

He reached over and hit the touch pad to pop open the door. If this failed to work he would brute force his way in.

IYS Empire
Captain's Quarters

The keypad did not work to open the door, but several of the people inside moved their heads, as if listening to something being said through the room's comms. Many responded by kneeling further or hiding more behind the pillars and beds.

Sacre noted that they had apparently hit something important. "Ok, shift fire on over to the second cannon." She said, but paying more attention to the readings that the NSBs were giving her about if it had been destroyed or not. She wasn't sure, so she pushed them to her engineers. "Does the cannon look disabled to you?" She asked.

Cavern

Saya followed orders from the other medic, moving her fire to the second location quickly enough as she kept up a nice bit of sustained fire. She began to hover a bit off the ground to make sure nothing touched her suit she didn't want to. She was concerned of just what all was in that fluid, not knowing it was more then coolant, but usually coolant was hot, and she wasn't sure just how much the suit could handle.

Cavern

Kaori kept her head on an active swivel as the group of command and scientists moved about the cavernous IYS bay, She looked up at the hole, seeing the twinkling of stars and starship cannons alike. The short neko pressed off the floor, moving away while talking to Seinosuke. "Nothing seems to be following us in. I'll follow."

The little scientist held up her SMG, keeping her eyes peeled as the two floated their way across the massive bay. So far there hadn't been much they could work with, but the life form readings put her on alert. She read Seinos scanner from over his shoulder as she gently floated by. "Mishhuvurthyar..."

Before she could finish her statement, Kaori was splattered by a stream of liquid that had burst from the large pipes, spraying across out into the zero-G environment like streams of jelly. She spun around with her gun at the ready, lowering it as more seams split across the pipe. Her science scanner chirped from its holder on her belt. picking up scans of the liquid as it flowed idly by. Keeping her eyes on the pipe, she flipped the scanner up to give it a look. One could hear a quiet inhale from her suit. "This is mixed starship coolant."

Admittedly, there could be a lot worse flowing from that pipe when it came down to it, but a coolant leak- especially one so... close, didn't help to ease her paranoia. The little scientist opened a line to others, relaying a quick message. "We have severe coolant leaks near the breach point." She turned to look at Iemochi, speaking to him. "We need to secure engineering."
