The SS Atuan floated above Dawn station, having just taken on new frames and the recently repaired existing frames. The Ashigarus, it seemed, could really beat the crap out of each other. In a way, this was good, but, in a way, this was bad. Mass producing a test model was an odd way to make money, but Murakami Kensuke had thought it a good idea. In any case, Arah Tenner had a job to do, and that was get back the stolen goods. Sure, the model was open market now, but that didn't mean they could just let a somewhat expensive machine be stolen, along with a former employee whom had been paid rather well and cost the company quite a bit.
And so, the Atuan was tasked with finding this lost mechanized frame and retrieving it.

Arah sat in her chair on the bridge rather unenthusiastically. leaned over to one side, she lethargically rested her head on the cushions, barely glancing at her screen. strangely enough, the woman moved, activating a comm line to the Barrack. "Frame team, make you way up here. that's the old and the new people. We need everyone here now."
