The XO and Captain, Teien Eden and Taiyou Hoshi respectively, looked between one another, waiting for one to start. Hoshi coughed before Eden diverted her eyes and nudged her shoulder towards the gathering crowd inside of the Gemini Star Fortress hangar, in which the Fuji-class ship was docked behind them. She had recently come from a hostile universe and, before that, a universe that notably lacked in pomegranates and was overly abundant in magic.

Now, though, she was back in her own realm. All enlisted personnel that had been on the mission to the blue sky universe had received a promotion of some kind and there were even quiet murmurings of ribbons for transuniversal exploration being handed out in secret. A few feet had gotten wet down on Hanako's World in the last week that Kaiyō had been home, but it was far from time to settle in for shore leave.

Hoshi broke the silence as she said, "This mission finds us going to an unlikely place. One I only heard about recently. It was a place of an independent farm and not much else, until now. Electromagnetic shockwaves are emanating from the planet. The Star Army doesn't know who is inhabiting it, but wants us to go find out. Get acquainted with one another while you find your duty stations. There are new faces, but more old ones, so I don't expect it'll be too hard to feel like you're amongst friends. We'll be heading out within the quarter hour and should be deploying within the hour. This will be an air drop that Teien Eden-shosa will lead, the Kaiyō II will be in orbit. If you're not bridge crew, you're on the ground." She looked from face to face, saying, "Any questions?"
 
"Orders acknowledged. It's good to be back, Taiyou Hoshi and Teien Eden." a familiar, slightly nasally voice spoke, a figure appearing from almost thin air as her SOFS disengaged its camoflouge.

Kyoi, standing near the back of the room, had undergone quite a few changes since the last time everyone saw her. In short, she was reevaluated by the military's upper echelons and deemed a better candidate for SAINT. This in turn stuck her through a few weeks of relearning skills and applying them differently, as well as a few modifications here and there to make her more suited for field intelligence operations rather than piloting a ship, although vehicular piloting hadn't been removed since those were of some use in the field.

Now, she stood, still somewhat similar to the last time everyone saw her, tail softly flicking around as her lip had a slight smile on it. "Feel free to tell me about all the stories later, friends." Kyoi told her fellow enlisted crewmembers. "How strong are these shockwaves?"

Walter Joseph Hyde huffed, eyeing at Hoshi in particular with half-lidded, orange eyes. Not everyone on this team knew that Walter Hyde was not the Walter that left the Kaiyo II last year. To a select few whom he had told to, as well as SAINT themselves, Walter Hyde came from elsewhere. He came from a twisted reflection of Yamatai, one where the lack of honor had created a toxic, unstoppable empire across the Kikyo Sector. Walter Hyde was born to be the scariest cannon fodder out there, and every strength he has pretty much accumulated to being only that.

Now, he didn't know Hoshi that well, but so far their last mission devolved into looking for something that was never there, then doing a unexplained jump to this universe. This had a lot of ramifications that this captain was supposed to have taken into consideration, but clearly this version of Yamatai isn't any more caring or benevolent as his. People have been hurt, physically and emotionally, because of that. Since then, Walter had remained cold and distant towards the captain, being probably the only one who had any antagonistic feelings towards her.

"Yare yare daze..." The muscular Minkan leaned back, his arms crossed. He didn't pay Kyoi any attention; he never met her before.

"It has been a pleasure, and indeed an honor, serving with you all. I am sure you will do just fine without me." Mitsuko smiled at the Logistics personnel assembled, bowing one final time before replacing her Officer's Cap. It had been surprisingly difficult to say goodbye, she had found. This position had always been a temporary assignment, she knew, but she still connected with the crew more than she had expected. It had been refreshing, she supposed, being surrounded by other somewhat like-minded individuals. All working together to meet the demand for supply, keeping the Star Army running, and doing it all in a properly orderly fashion.

Of course, she knew she couldn't hide here forever.


YSS Kaiyo II

After the...incident...involving a certain representative of Ayenee some time ago, Murakami's request to stay behind had been approved, to the surprise of Eden and Hoshi. Who likely hadn't expected this level of resistance both from the Logistics Neko and their own superiors. Regardless, she was here now, right on time, as usual. Her things had already been moved into one of the Officer's Cabins, because of course she'd handled their transport and proper arrangement herself, earlier. So, she was free of baggage as she moved to join the others, walking up to the back of the group just in time to hear Hoshi begin her speech.

Strange waves emanating from an unexplored planet? Her mind immediately went to the Crystalloids the Eucharis had encountered years ago, although she highly doubted they had been stumbled upon again. She would share the data with her new Captain when the time was right, though, just in case.

"Itto Juni Murakami Mitsuko, reporting as ordered." She was sporting more stripes than normal on her Type 35 Duty Uniform, some of the more familiar faces might notice. Handed out by one of the less familiar faces to Mitsuko. She'd only briefly encountered Taiyou Hoshi when ferrying the crew from Ralt, and had perhaps not made the best first impression. What with assuming the unrecognized name belonged to a new crew member, and refusing to speak to anyone but Eden until the Shosa corrected her. It had all been rather embarrassing, but the Chusa had still requested her return, and authorized a promotion for her services with Logistics while the Kaiyo was away from home, so apparently the Captain still had some use for her.

She removed her Officer's Cap again for a bow, once she'd moved towards the front, nearer the two commanders and the other officers. Mitsuko resisted the urge to speak directly to Eden, merely nodding to her as she replaced her cap, registering the noticeable lack of Misaki by her side. "I have attempted to familiarize myself with the Fuji-class in preparation for this assignment. This has been unexpectedly difficult, as the only model in active service refuses to remain in this universe, let alone the Kikyo Sector. I apologize in advance for any inefficiency this may cause."

After this declaration in her usual composed manner of speaking, she very slowly let a smile break through...

Hanna Madsen had known well in advance that the hardest part about returning to her old duty station would be overcoming the looming self-consciousness that she felt, especially after her failure to live up to expectations during the raid on the L’Kor station. Of course, she had no memory of the raid, because she had died during the execution of the mission. However, she did have access to the recording, and in spite of her initial unwillingness to watch it, she had studied the footage over-and-over, searching desperately for areas to improve upon. It had not yielded much, but the time that she had spent away from the Star Army and with the Danko Clan had afforded her a peace of mind that she had not felt since...birth. It was a peace of mind that had given her the space to rehabilitate her new body, gain connections, and to hone her martial skills.

She was grateful for the opportunity to train with the samurai of the Danko Clan, many of whom were ex-Ketsurui samurai. However, Hanna had considered it her duty to return to service as soon as possible, to do her part in the fight against the emerging Kuvexian threat. She had decided to end her leave early, and her timing had been just perfect.

With a large duffel bag strapped to her back, Hanna had arrived arrived a few minutes early for the briefing. She had left the White Sparrow Castle in quite a hurry, only having had time to say cursory goodbyes to Kuro and Yukiko before leaving. Hanna’s decision to end her leave had been quite a sudden one after all, and she had received the message informing her of the reassignment to the Kaiyō only an hour after formalizing her return to duty. She had made great time, at least.

Hanna listened quietly as the briefing went underway, but the rather short and simplistic nature of the captain’s explanation left her with many questions that she did not want to ask, to avoid drawing undue attention to herself. She had never been too talkative during briefings, anyways.

Towards the side of the forming group was a rather unfamiliar face. Or to be precise: half of one.

A Nekovalkyrja of rather diminutive height wearing a freshly ironed Type 35 uniform observed the group silently. Her uniform bore bright green science panels, contrasting both her hair and her deep blue skirt. Her skin was a pale blue-gray, almost enough to blend in with the standard leggings she wore. Her hair was dark purple and color, kept long in an overextended bowl that fell just below her eyes. Occasionally, the stubby little nose that peeked out from below her hairline would wriggle.

Dokusei Kaori wasn't in any particular hurry to announce herself, instead taking the moment to observe the new and old crew. She carried with her an inexplicably sweet aroma, one that followed her around like a cloud. The smell of aged nectar was enough to call her presence before she would ever speak. She wasn't looking for small talk with the appearing crew at the moment, instead keeping her eyes peeled for the other science officer she was supposed to be shadowing. Given her reading, he shouldn't be hard to miss.

The quiet botanist kept the mission details in the back of her mind during the briefing, thinking it over. Physics wasn't her forte, but having more minds helped. Perhaps it was weapon testing, or something else entirely. The captain likely knew just as much about this anomaly as the crew did. For now, additional observation.

Looking to her side, Hoshi noticed the SAINT Nekovalkyrja as her form appeared like a chameleon calming, then nodded to her, "Good to have all of you back." She said to the foxy woman, "The suit suits you."

Hoshi looked to where a minimal and unwanted interruption had come from. Her deep blue eyes made contact with Walter's own fiery ones before she slowly turned her head to Eden, eyes settling on Eden's golden ones. If the crew had not yet figured out that Hoshi had ordered the execution of the enemy, who also served as the entity that controlled the universe that the Kaiyō had destroyed, the captain was hesitant to enlighten them.

Mitsuko's appearance gave Hoshi a reason to smile after a bow, and Eden saluted and looked at the Ittô Juni with a sense of pride, knowing Murakami's role in the mission was insurmountable.

Eden said, "I'm glad to hear your thoughts on the schematics." Eden nearly whispered the next part, "Though I cannot believe the med bay isn't on the same level as the power armor bay; it's quite the oversight on my part."

Somehow Care felt like she missed something, between coming back and being promoted from Jôtô Hei to Nitô Heisho, absolute nothing really felt different. Across galaxies, universes, ranks, everywhere she went and everything she did, it occurred to her that nothing really changed. The her fight or flight instincts had settled since she had been spaced and shot at, then saved, she was acutely aware of how little things changed. Was her perception wrong, did the world shift in such amazing ways that she simply lacked the capacity to understand? She didn't know, and she most certainly would not dare to ask a soul.

Physically she was completely fine, no damage, the heat hadn't even buffed her plates, but how she acted had changed by quite a large amount. She hoped people had noticed, as if they did not then her attempts to give the front of competency would be failing. An air of confidence was about her, she spoke proudly and with glee, was friendly and showed the emotions she felt were required. When she assisted their wounded in the medbay on the way back she showed such sympathy to them while keeping her work steady and proper, when they told jokes and others laughed so did she, and rather than remaining idle her face was almost always shifted into a slight grin, an aura of 'happy' about her.

It was mostly simulated, exaggerated from what she could do to be believable, to be normal. Even if it was pretending, with her synthetic look there were no faults, no reasons for doubt, no space for people to look upon her and think anything more than the fact that she simply had a bad few months prior, and had rebounded quite well. Of course, there was still the issue of those like Eden and Mark who would obviously know that it was not quite that simple but she chose to not linger on those who already knew that some degree of the way she acted was a fib.

She stood among others, her face fixed in a 'breathing' smile, one that was light enough to look comfortable and natural, but shifted and move so it didn't look like a still image or a pose. She stood tall- As tall as 5'5 synthetic person could, as she looked around, waving to those she recognized and giving polite greetings to those she didn't. She was an NCO, people would look to her for direction, why did she feel no different? Why did she feel that she was no more ready for something like that than before?
 
Nito-Hei Mark Oaklen stood amongst those he considered friends and family. Finding some comfort in the faces he knew, particularly those of Eden, Hoshi, Nerai, Alastair, Shasse, Chlorate, Care, Walter, Kiki, and Wyatt. Their recent mission had been a bizarre and in some ways nightmarish experience. He for one had been changed, becoming something of a monster while there, and it had left it's Mark on their return. He wore and additional coat, mainly for the purpose of covering the mutated arm he now had.

One similar of that of the L'orr race, a rough reptilian skin like limb, granted it was not scales. Chitinous growths covered it, and his hand had become more of a claw. His left eye had also suffered. Everytime he gazed in a mirror without the patch, the black schelera and crimson reptilian slit style pupil staring back at him. Looking around he noticed the new faces as pulled the coat closer.

The briefing was but white noise to him, and it mattered little on the specifics to him. What was important was there was a mission, and that meant, it was time to do what he did best. To be what he had always been,.....a soldier.

Wyatt was a junkie.

Not in the traditional sense of pumping your body full of noxious chemicals for a brief sense of godliness and euphoria, no. Wyatt was close to being an adrenaline junkie yet that wasn't the part that gave him his kicks either, the bit that gave him his immense satisfaction was knowing he had done all he possibly could to complete any given order, results were results no matter what the process of completion was.

Some call him stubborn and dumb, others call him reckless and a fool. He on the other hand was too busy to think up some kind of sly remark, not that he cared much for it in the first place, he was a bit of an arse like that.

Regardless, here stood the minkan marksman; his coppery hair and stubble had been neatened up, his pristine type 32 coat now carried three green stripes over his arm instead of two and if you looked close enough, you could almost see a glimmer of pride in his amber eyes. The rest of his body was as as stoic as a statue while he listened to the briefing, absorbing all of the information like a sponge.

He had no questions to ask, anything command chose to tell them before a mission tended to be enough for him to work with so he gave a small nod of immense respect to their small captain, the memory of their previous mission flooded back into his mind.

He had burst into the bridge of the ship with nothing to cover himself but his favourite jacket, a few bloodied wounds and a question of how he could help, yet the marksman followed orders, he bucked in to the level two starboard side bridge chair and did what was asked of him.

A brief smile broke the left side of his mouth for a moment before it fell back to the icy state his face was usually in. He must've been riding one hell of a train of thought to not notice Mark standing beside him, complete with the new... look.

Without diverting his attention away from their captain, Wyatt spoke sideways to the pirate standing beside him "Mark, good to see you out and about" he spoke in a low, monotone voice yet despite the tone, he was glad.

A certain light blue winged hawk couldn't help but smile as He heard Hoshi speak to the assembled crew. Orion Jones, the Kaiyos returned sniper bird, was decked out in his SAoY uniform proudly. The Elysian was happy to be back serving aboard the Kaiyo. Said ship was like his home. It had been the staging ground in which he carried out his first few missions. He had previously met his girlfriend, Anastasia, who was unfortunately not there with him, aboard the Kaiyo. He was looking forward of getting out of Gemini Star fortress.

He was currently scanning the room for a certain Separah,that roommate who had been known to light up some of his boring days.

At the back of the room, William stood silently as he usually did. He leaned against the wall dressed watching the proceedings as he usually did. A lot had happened since they first left the sector, experiences that would stay with him for a lifetime. As he looked out amongst the assembled vrew members, he smiled softly seeing several familiar faces.

He turned to Hoshi and Eden, listening to the briefing. "Time to get back to it then..." he said softly to himself. Using his mindware, he connected to his Air 2 and began running through diagnostic reports for the armor. After losing his last one, he was able to requisition a new one from his father. After a long scolding, he was given the new armor with a order to not destroy this one.

William nodded when he found the diagnostic report satisfactory, and turned back to the others.

Nitô Hei Kara "Gravity" Sifsdottir, pilot of the Kaiyo, sat to the side, quietly, starring at her feet with an almost blank expression. Always with a blank expression. Always so... hollow since that day a week ago. She didn't want to keep describing it as "hollow", but that was the only word she could use to describe that empty void in her heart that just couldn't be replaced.

She was doing admittedly better now. The first few days were the worst, filled with blind, indiscriminate rage and fear. She'd visited a dojo to try and find enjoyment in her hobby of martial arts, had tried to find her center through sparring, but had snapped and nearly broke a bo staff over some poor fool's head when she'd caught a glimpse of a large, green dragon painted on the wall.

It had been a reminder of what she'd lost- a bond with a magnificent creature that had been permanently shattered the moment they'd crossed universes. A magnificent creature she would likely never see again in her life, no matter how many times she woke crying after dreaming of lazily drifting through the skies on Apollo's back, silently begging in vain to whatever gods existed to please just give her back her dragon.

She didn't even care that she'd destroyed an entire universe! She really fucking didn't! Fuck those people! She'd burn the entire Yui-damned multiverse down to get her Apollo back! And right now?! That's exactly what she felt like doing! She was so angry and scared and alone that she just wanted to reach out and tear something apart with her bare hands!

No. Couldn't do that. Military discipline and all that. She'd cleaned the barracks enough to learn that it was impolite to take out your rage on the nearest person.

Breathe in...

Breathe out...

Santo Hei Riku Tanaka, born and raised on Yamatai, stood in the crowd assembled at the briefing. Fresh out of basic training, the Kaiyo II was his first assignment. And he was ecstatic! He had heard rumors and stories of it travelling to other universes, and he was proud to be among the crew. He was a new infantryman, ready to fight those who would dare oppose the Yamatai Star Army and the resilient crew of the Kaiyo. Specifically, he was a sharpshooter/support role in combat, whether that be activating his Mindy's shield to block incoming fire or taking out an enemy about to harm one of his comrades, or anything in between.

He looked around at the faces gathered, absorbing every word spoken by Hoshi and Eden during the briefing. He had made every effort to look his best today: His face clean-shaven, hair done neatly and swept to the right slightly, a vague scent of deodorant able to be smelled by those in almost direct contact with him, and his uniform cleaned, pressed, and ironed to look as neat as possible. His face showed little emotion, a hint of excitement able to be seen through the glimmer in his eyes. He continued to listen to the briefing, standing with his legs slightly apart and his hands clasped behind his back.

Sacre stood towards the back, her eyes watching not just the captain, but the crew. Scanning the new and old faces with a level of intensity. The last few weeks had been a whirlwind of NCO training, getting acquainted with her new responsibilities, and her own obsessiveness about getting everything right. This would be her first mission as a Itto Heisho. Her performance on the last mission had bumped her not one but two ranks up. She was still unsure about how she would preform under fire. She was worried that she would do something wrong and something she couldn't cope with would happen.

Sacre's eyes paused on Care. She had worked closely with the other medic and had noticed the changes. She could tell that beneath the mask of a happy business as usual, there was something else. A fear that Sacre was also facing. To call it out would reveal her own uncertainties and feelings of inadequacy about being a NCO. That she had jumped two ranks rather then one made it more intense.

The changes in Mark had been concerning to Sacre. Not just on a medical level, but also on a personal level. She had only a few interactions with Mark before his body had changed and so didn't have much of a baseline to base her concerns on. However, the rumors and facts about it being demon related were comingled. Sacre didn't believe in the supernatural, not in the way that many did, but she knew enough to know that a deal with the devil was bad.

She knew that this Walter was different from the Walter that had served on the Kaiyo previously due to looking at his medical record. She wasn't clear on what the details were, and she hadn't asked. All she knew was that he had been excellent with heavy weapons during their mission to the Aether Sphere. It didn't matter to her where he was from, he did his job well.

She standing near William. She noticed he had a new eye, and Sacre wondered what he could see with it. She remembered well the moments that she had spent pouring out her emotions and feelings about her new promotion to him. There were very few people that she was completely emotionally open with. It was easier for her to be willing to lay down her life in an instant for someone then it was to be emotionally open with them.

Her eyes lingered for too long on Gravity. The two weeks had been busy, and they had not been able to spend much time together at all. She knew her friend was hurting after losing her connection to her Dragon. She had felt how deep the connection was between Apollo and Gravity. She had wanted to comfort her friend, but there were also many other duties for her to preform. Things that she needed to get done before the Kaiyo left again.

Looking forward again, she listened to what her Captain had to say about the mission that they were about to embark on.
 
Mark flinched ever slightly, pulling the coat that his "arm", tighter instinctively.

"Oh...h.hey. I...I'm fine..I guess.", He gave to man while turning his head to move the patch further out of sight.

He looked around to hopefully spot someone he knew well. Being around so many new people and the crew he still had yet to fully grow close to. It made him uncomfortable, and the anxiety was making him nervous. The pain of his violent change back still fresh in his mind. He was picking up the pieces, slowly, but it was sorta progress.
 
After adjusting her cap, Mitsuko frowned and nodded at the comment, maneuvering herself closer to Eden while leaving Hoshi free to deal with the other crew members that had gathered outside the ship. "I noticed this...oversight...as well." She hesitated, attempting to choose her next words carefully, remembering the time she had dragged an injured crew member from the PA Bay to Medical with barely any time to spare. That would not be possible here, now.

"I have several other concerns with the design of the Fuji-class. The size of the Cargo Bay in comparison to the Shuttle Bay and Power Armor Bay, most importantly." She bristled slightly as she mentally consulted the schematics, obviously displeased and potentially insulted by the new ship's design. She'd spent almost her entire career on board Plumeria-class vessels, after all. "With all due respect, Teien-Shosa, perhaps this is why Captains are Captains and Engineers are Engineers." She let out a little sigh. "Our warrior Princess designed herself a sword, to the detriment of all else." The Plumeria's design wasn't very subtle, after all. And it had recently required a refit to stay relevant, as well.

"And, somewhat predictably, Teien-Shosa, you have created an intergalactic resort hotel. Complete with parking garage." Murakami shook her head at the thought. She almost dreaded seeing what happened once this rather...unique...crew was locked inside in close quarters for an extended period of time. "However, the designs I myself have proposed have never made it to the actual testing phase, so..." She trailed off, with a shrug and another small smile.

Of course, the 'Courier-class 3D' had been little more than an extremely well armored, almost entirely hollow cube, so its rejection was not incredibly surprising.
 
Kyoi moved forwards from the spot she was standing, and stood up straight and properly. Information gathering was of high priority, as much as she’d like to check over her first real field deployment gear.

She felt the crew had some disloyalty towards Hoshi, and from her memories she could glean a few reasons — though those were bias. So she went off what she could hear. The transdimensional experience must have been rough, seeing as how the one her mind identified as Mark was very much not fine.

Judging by the rage she could almost feel coming off of...Gravity, the information dossier stated. A dragon trainer? In any case, Gravity has certainly lost a valuable asset of hers. She would be one of the first to be talking to, as well as...the duplicate entry, and the not-Elysian. She needed to form a few bonds if she was to merge in with the group.

She internally flinched at these calculations she was doing, all of a sudden. Was she always this...analytical?

“Thank you for the kind words, Captain.” Kyoi replied, doing a slight curtesy. She was to put off a strong first impression — but hadn’t she always? — so the crew could trust her when she needed them to do things she could not.

"Now," Hoshi said more formally, looking about and seeing everyone gaining a level of interaction that was bordering on pessimistic scowls and calculating glares. Eden saw the love for each other underneath the looks and the hope for the future was still there, but the little captain was not. "Now... did somebody ask how strong these schockwaves are? We have not been able to get reliable readings, but they occur every hour. We will arrive directly after one in order to investigate further. Our point of interest will be a small section of caves and farms, once inhabited. Shôsa?"

Eden nodded, "Iemochi-juni and myself will lead the ground teams while Murakami-juni surveys the air."

Hoshi said, "Teams are to follow," and soon digital minds and datapads and jockeys had the info:
Murakami Mitsuko-juni team:
Walter Hyde
Kyōi Kiseki
Orion
Miles
Lauren Strong

Seinosuke Iemochi-juni team:
Dokusei Kaori
Sacre Sacre Ven Sanssinia
William
Aoi Leeta

Teien Eden-shosa team:
Care
Shasse
Riku Tanaka
Hanna Madsen
Wyatt
Halsie Nighni
Mark
Click to expand...

The Shosa said, "Murakami-juni and Sacre-heisho, please see me. Everyone else, suit up. If your name was not called, you're on standby or otherwise at your duty station."
 
To put it more honestly, the ex-technician of the IYS 0071 was not just "evil"; his counterpart was just as gray in personality as this one. If anything, Walter had a assumption that this universe's Walter would be happier over in his Yamatai, judging from how he personally feels about this version of Yamatai. Then again, the "Dark Hyde" already has a few gripes with this version of Yamatai that stick out like a sore thumb, compared to the more beautiful, simpler Fort Miller.

Those who had met the raven-haired technician more personally would know that he's humble, kind, caring, and definitely introverted. Others who had met Walter on the field could point out while he was still inexperienced, the Minkan was fairly effective on both missions he had been on; he's straight forward, stays as close to the mission objective as he can, and showed respect for anyone who's above his rank first before bias.

There may have been reports of Walter Hyde being more aggressive and secluded to others when he first arrived to Fort Miller, but he definitely mellowed as he got to know Ayenee and fall in love with the endless possibilities of the beautiful world. That place is where he would like to retire when all this is over, when he had served this Yamatai for as long as he could bare.

His expression remained unchanged, even as he hung onto every word the Captain said.
