Bridge
Misaki looked to Hoshi one last time before adding on, "Have all necessary MINDYs readied. I'll be down momentarily." As soon as she finished she turned and headed for the passageway. She carefully inhaled and exhaled as she descended towards the Power Armor bay below her on the bottom deck.
Power Armor Bay
By this point, she knew she needed to be determined. By the time her feet hit the deck in the hallway, she was already undressing. Since she hadn't worn a jumpsuit since the day she became an officer candidate, there was no other option except to don the MINDY au naturale. She neatly folded her clothes as she reached her armor. She stripped bare before slipping into the Armor and walking over to the nearby armory.
Armory
Needing to make sure that even in the worst case she was armed, and feeling more comfortable with something in her hands, she requisitioned a
Ke-M2-W2913 Aether/Scalar Submachine Gun and the necessary ammunition. Just before leaving, she made sure that the weapon's bayonet was stowed in her armor before she placed the weapon on her back.
Shuttle Bay
Finally, the Second Officer emerged from the doors leading to the Power Armor bay. She hadn't been in space armor in what seemed like forever, her concealed face much softer than the front of the helmet. She looked to the
Raccoon shuttle sitting in front of her as she waited for the remaining people to show up. "We'll take the Raccoon, might need some seats if we all need to get back in a hurry."
As she waited, she thought out to Eden, "I just want you to know, I love you." She spoke to the MEGAMI next, "Keep me informed on William-kun's status at regular intervals." She was worried, but she had a job to do.
