Cargo Bay
The Mishhu that was being targeted threw Calver directly at the SLAM's missile, but the blonde technician was squirming too much for him to hit the kinetic projectile. Instead he fell atop Endo, the medic.
The missile went splattering into and out of the Advanced Type and all over the walls, boxes, rice, and personnel in the cargo bay were entrails, tentacles, and blood. Behind the Mishhu, a hole was blown by the SLAM, which jammed itself into the cargo hold and then into the fabrication area of the ship, only to end up punching the wall of the zero-G passageway but not puncturing it.
The lot of them in the cargo bay were thrown backwards, away from the explosion, and their ears rung. They would find they could no longer hear and were slightly, but still noticeably, disoriented.
The Neko that Arbirbitrated had drawn her NSP on was struck in the torso and was flung backwards while another took its place in attacking Iemochi by shooting at him while flying through the air towards him.
Another NMX Neko began shooting on the pink-winged Elysian while a third and fourth took shots at Mitsuko, who had made herself a pretty apparent target for hostile engagement since destroying the Advanced Type.
Anastasia was not engaged. She had a perfect opportunity to use that concussion grenade, but what it was, she would have to find out.
Sutahira had the right idea, but could those in the cargo bay carry it out, he did not know. He would soon find out, though. In the meantime, he had one NMX Neko flinging herself through the air and at him, shooting fervently.
Power Armor Bay
As Rei got into her
SARAH M7, a number of Reaper focused in on the
Kirie and, instead of avoiding the Princess' powerful armor, they honed in on it. No less than three Reaper-clad NMX Neko began shooting out missile launchers from their thighs and plasma from their forearm cannons. They made themselves apparent enemies of the Empire by targeting that which represented it so blatantly.
Orion was targeted by one NMX Neko that shot at him with her rifle and stomped its heavy feet towards him before jetting into the air and becoming a difficult, flying target as it shot and almost hit Orion.
William would note that the NMX Neko were staying away from the pair of them, seemingly thinking them to be friendlies or just not able to see them.
Hanna's wrist blades worked at taking down three unarmored NMX girls in the fray and clouds of battle she had created, but soon she struck an armor that jumped out of the way. Then it wildly began firing its 50mm gauss rifle towards her.
Yoshida's new toy was capable and concussive, she had only had to find the right mark to be her next target with it. An enemy power armor that began firing its pasma forearm cannons at her could just be what she was looking for.
The Reaper that Meissa had slammed into the wall with her arm made an audible
thunk sound when it hit, though it was far from incapacitated. While Meissa turned as if dancing, the Reaper-clad NMX Neko she had pushed against the wall made a movement to grab her wings, pulling the Mindy slightly towards her while Meissa’s aether saber slashed at the other Reaper that had previously been behind her. The one that she had slashed with her aether saber crumpled to the floor, clutching her chest and was on her knees. The one against the wall pulled Meissa towards her and made to break her neck by placing her hands just so on her helmet and back and leveraging with the two points of contact.
Hallways
Mat would notice the hallways were wracked with the sounds of explosions and bursts of weaponry from the cargo bay and power armor bay. Where he chose to go was up to him.
Medical Lab
In the empty
sakura-type medical laboratory a
hemosynthetic reconstruction tube began to fill upon Boss' orders, which had been given to the MEGAMI months prior. As all good captains prepared for the worst, the Kaiyō's had, as well.
Bridge
"Hai, Chui!" Deio Asuka said assuredly. "We have five scouts in the area and... This can't be right. I'm not getting a far-reaching reading. They must have jammed our scanners!"
"Ha-hai, Chui!" Ito tried to say it as strongly as Asuka had but found herself stuttering on her words. She made no motion to operate the weapons systems on the ship, though. Instead, she looked to the new CO with wide, scared eyes. She looked to be ready to cry.
Hallway Outside of the Bridge
Kawazoe Riku would be able to see the form of the soldier in her
Mindy II as she backed up, entered the Zero-G passageway, and then went down. A loud bumping sound could be heard throughout the ship at that moment as the missile was propelled all the way from the cargo bay to the outside of the passageway Akiko was now in, just lower than she was.
Teleapthically, a message was sent to Boss by her as she did this:
Code:
Boss-San, Hayashi-Juni. Relay to rest of crew:
"Eden-Taii infected, then terminated by Norogumi-Chui to prevent birth of Mishhu.
Norogumi-Chui in command of Kaiyō.
Ghost-Type Mishhuvurthyar responsible for infection;
last seen moving towards Engineering or MEGAMI via phasing through decks.
Do not engage.
Report further sightings to MEGAMI.
If MEGAMI is compromised, report sightings to Hayashi-Juni."
