Power Armor Bay
Mitsuko's blush had faded, although now she was looking rather pale. More than usual. She made her way to her assigned armor, the outdated Mindy II covered in scratches and dings. A scar still remained along one side of the helmet, along with a sizable dent in the forehead. The Neko silently shed layers of uniform, folding everything in a practiced manner and stowing it neatly in the locker assigned to her nearby. A rather large amount of that pale flesh was now on display, as the bare Neko inserted herself into that armor, too distracted by the possibilities she was mulling over to worry about concealing herself from the many faces, new or otherwise, in the PA Bay. The newer Mindys didn't require such a lack of clothing, but she'd stubbornly refused to update, even if it would've been more efficient. And less embarrassing.
Her glasses were the last thing to be folded and stashed away, closing the locker as she finally turned that bright, glowing gaze towards the crew members rapidly assembling. Eden and Iemochi's teams were congregating around their leaders, and she was already receiving questions herself. "Teien-Shosa has suggested the Kuma. Thank you for ensuring both options were prepared, Kiseki-Hei." She responded wirelessly to Kyoi as she began wedging her helmet on, locking it into place. "No extra supplies will be required. With any luck, this will be a short trip." Mitsuko highly doubted that, but she could always hope.
Lauren was falling in line as the others settled into their armors. Murakami stepped forward, waving them towards the connecting doorway to the Shuttle Bay. Perhaps the increased size of the two Bays had some merit, as most of the crew had been able to gather here and prepare without incident, and they certainly had enough shuttles to go around.
"Kiseki-Hei has the Kuma shuttle Tsubomikaze prepped for launch at the Captain's command. Single file through the airlock, take your seats. I will be joining our pilot in the cockpit." She motioned them past her, Mitsuko's armor seeming a bit old fashioned next to most of the newer models present. Her loadout seemed to be the most uninteresting, average selection possible, nothing standing out to give them many hints about what to expect from her.
