YSS Kaiyō
Bridge
The communications operator continued to monitor the situation on the planet, maintaining a sort of passive tap on their FARS units and what vocal interactions they had with the other. He turned his attention towards the Captain as she relayed a new set of orders to him, to be delivered to the teams currently on Komorebi. A simple nod was his reply as MEGAMI assisted with clearing the current queue of idle communications between the squadron for him, "Bridge to ground teams Alpha and Bravo, prepare for your orders. All non-essential personnel, excluding Iemochi-hei and the mercenary Amanozako who shall remain near the discovered crafts, will now return to the ship immediately in preparations for the retrieval of the L'Kor bomber and shuttle."
"I repeat, expedite your evacuation of the planet immediately. The Captain has requested all hands on deck. Once you hit friendly airspace, you are cleared to taxi shuttle into the bay bearing two-four-niner; be advised of additional allied ships will soon be crowding the space around Komorebi. Make the landing quick and as precise as you can without interfering with their work efforts."
Once finished transmitting the orders from the Captain, he pulled up the fleet-wide communications net and began broadcasting again to the communications operators on the YSS Excalibur, Intrepid, and Storm.
"This is the YSS Kaiyō, NG-X1-440, transmitting to the YSS's Excalibur, Intrepid, and Storm; requesting a status update on the security of your airspace. We have sighted L'Kor craft planetside, please confirm that your area is secured and prep for possible Condition Three. Stand-by for departure towards our location, the Captain has requested your assistance in retrieving the crafts found. Sending visual data and FARS scans now. Please ping back when available."
Riku waited several minutes, enough time for the trained crews on the other side of the squadron to double-check and go through their sensor nets. MEGAMI alerted him, summarizing -
YSS Excalibur - All Green, Sensor nets clear, no signs of hostile craft in the vicinity. Prepping crew for maximum FTL travel to your location.
YSS Intrepid - All Clear, Sensor nets clear, no signs of hostile craft in the area. Preparing crew for max speed; your location.
YSS Storm - All Clear, Sensor nets detect no hostile craft in the area. Will provide security and over-watch on the retrieval operation. Send our regards to the Taii.
He turned his chair towards the Captain, "Taii-dono, the rest of the squadron reports all clear. No additional sensor contacts. Their airspace is clear for the moment. The YSS Excalibur and Intrepid are on their way to assist with the retrieval of L'kor craft. The YSS Storm will be holding within a two-kilometer radius to provide security on the operation."
And with that he turned back towards his console and resumed listening in for stray transmissions around their occupied space, aware now of the dangerous possibilities of an ambush.
