Raccoon Shuttle
Eden nodded tersely to Amanozako before she followed the former NMX Neko onto the shuttle. She motioned for Meissa Nashira, Yoshida Kokoro, Leeta Aoi, Anastasia Barlow, Orion Jones, Hanna Madsen, Abart'huse Theisilis, and Amanozako to sit and she spoke out.
"We don't know what we're going into, but we do know that we are equipped and capable of protecting ourselves if things go South. If things go North, well we will have no problems and the feelings of concern I see written on all of your faces will be for naught. You have your NSP's by your sides and should feel free to communicate completely with each other. Let's get going," Eden said and then went into the cockpit to take up a position as the pilot.
She maneuvered the shuttle out of the Kaiyō just as she saw another shuttle, the same Raccoon-class, exit the ship that looked almost exactly like the Kaiyo. The blue wings of the Plumeria Eden was looking at were on a much larger ship than the Kaiyo, though, and it bore the same old Hinomaru that they had seen on the bridge. She thrusted the shuttle through space and passed over the other shuttle, noticing that the woman that looked just like her was piloting the craft. She bit her lip and continued on.
YSS Kaiyō
Shuttle Bay
Out of the shuttle that had just entered the shuttle bay came the Eden-look alike as well as several of her crew. They followed her into the power armor bay and stood in a line with their hands behind their backs and legs shoulder-width apart. They all looked just like those in the power armor bay, wore the same colored paneled uniforms, though they were all much more skin-baring than the ones the YSS Kaiyō crew wore.
"I am Taii Norogumi Eden. These are my assistants, Anne and Anna," Norogumi Eden said looking to the Neko next to her with yellow skin and black hair." "Royama Dai," the Taii said, looking to a pinkish red skinned and haired Neko, though she had a severely angered look to her. "Reina Madoka, Muyomi Peio, Matsuvo Shinomori," the Taii said and a white-haired man bowed and smiled suavely towards the Neko in the room. She went on, "Seinosuke Iemochi," Norogumi Eden said, pointing to a wing-less blonde Mochi, then said, "Sutahira Medikku," about a man that waved and smiled, and went on. "Kawakari Riku," a black-haired and ice blue-eyed man waved as Medikku had as the Taii said while she looked at a cherry-haired Neko, "Shan Arbitrated. Deio Asuka, Kyōi Kiseki," Norogumi Eden looked at a Neko with a bristling orange furred and white-tipped tail and large, pointed ears that was grumpier than one would expect. "Rei and Wila, our resident samurai and, of course, daughter of
Eve, Aiko." Norogumi looked to her immediate right where there was a blue-haired and red-eyed Neko with a central horn on her head and then, Norogumi Eden looked back at the group of YSS Kaiyō personnel, expecting introductions.
IYS Kaiyō
Shuttle Bay
Eden landed the shuttle inside of the bay, noticing an assembly of her own crew in front of her. Her black brows were forced close together before she sighed and took her hands off the controls. There was even a member that looked just like Amanozako, though she was smiley and friendly-looking. There was an apparent Meissa, though she lacked the owl-ish wings and the top half of Abart was the same, though he had a Minkan body below. Anastasia's cobalt wings were absent as were Orion's. They wore the same colored panels as the YSS Kaiyō crew members wore, respectively.
Eden was the first one out of the shuttle and let the others filter out behind her. A replicate of Saki forced her hand forward, almost as if she wanted to shake Eden's hand and the captain of the YSS Kaiyō put her hand forward uncomfortably. They shook hands and Eden looked to Meissa next to her with a confused stare.
"Shaking hands?" Eden asked Meissa telepathically. "That is odd. This is not the Saki I know."
"We need to clear this matter up immediately," the replicate Saki said. "Now, are you clones of us or not?"
"We really don't know what we are to you," Eden said. "I recommend each crew member get acquainted with their other half, if you would permit it. It is the be—" Eden was cut off, though, by the other Saki.
"Yes, I would." She nodded to her crew behind her and they each slowly approached those that had exited the shuttle.
The other Meissa came forward to the Elysian and said, "I am Nashira Meissa, who are you?"
Yoshida Kokoro was approached by a surly-looking black-haired Neko with the same upside down triangles on her cheeks that simply outstretched a hand towards Yoshida, saying, "Kokoro-hei."
Leeta Aoi's dopple ganger approached her, as did the others.
The one that looked like Anastasia Barlow extended her hand to shake the black-haired and red-paneled Caelisolan's hand and said, "Red panels, technician, too, huh? What's with the wings?"
"I am Jones Orion," the orange-ish haired Minkan said. "Hello."
The sienna-skinned and cyan-haired Neko approached Hanna Madsen, as her light blue puffy tail swung one way and another as she made to shake Hanna's hand and she said, "Hanna Madsen!"
Abart'huse Theisilis's other half approached him and, like everyone else, went to shake his hand while saying, "You're weird."
The Neko that looked like Amanozako said, "You look interesting! Who are you? Are you me?"
