Chigusa's mind clicked. The call was almost like a sort of trigger - Chigusa's defensive mechanisms reacted automatically. She rushed to the armor bay, and within a few minutes was undressed and in a Mindy. She spoke over the comm system to Kotori.
"Awaiting orders, Taii."
Chigusa, I don't mean to be raining down your parade (as I've already made you lose one post today), but there are a few things wrong with the above posts and I'd like to give you the opportunity to edit it before we move on.
The above quoted text has the Chigusa react to a situation mentioned, which is good. However, the next action has her committed to taking
minutes to dressing up in a Mindy power armor and then talking to Kotori.
Minutes are a long time in battles. first of all, if a pilot isn't ready to launch within 60 seconds of battlestations, there's a problem somewhere (the Mindy has to get its modules outfitted too, and that's the job of the armorer too, which adds some time to this).
One minute is enough for the Miharu to get to the site of the battle and start getting shot at too. People on the bridge will be doing something else through that minute, and that mention of being ready for orders will fall kinda flat since other participants on the Miharu will not chronologically be on the same level.
I understand what you are most familliar with are Sakura JPs and, with the speed those progress, you sometime have to cram as many actions as you can (Kotori was known for her initiative and how quickly she got things done - I know where you come from ^_^; ). However, the Miharu is a single post-based plotship with very occasional JPs. Therefore, I advice any players (including you), not to jump ahead in time like that: it's just not to your advantage. Let me be the one doing that; that way, you can never screw up ^_^
Besides, what happens if Kotori doesn't want Chigusa to be boarding her Mindy? What if she gives an order to have Chigusa go help in the subdeck instead? Would Chigusa board the Mindy only to be told to get herself out of it and thus waste precious minutes of her time?
Don't worry about it. It's no big deal. The point is that you can make smaller posts which would declare intent, but not necessarely the result of the action. Like so:

With perhaps the addition of:
"MEGAMI, please inform the Taii I'm suiting up."
...so Kotori will become aware of what Chigusa is doing and perhaps comment on it.
