Kyoto, Yamatai
1100 hours local time
On the military side of Kyoto, the well-traveled and battle-tested YSS Eucharis sat on her three landing feet in a 3-walled docking bay nestled into the side of the main military spaceport, with her dagger-like main gun thrusting out into the air and her tail facing a large, open armored door that led into a garage area filled with shipping containers, various starship parts piled in a corner, some utility vehicles parked on the side, safely tucked away from the torrent of pouring rain coming down from gray clouds set against the darker and seemingly endless skyline of the Kyoto megacity.
A loud hum of hydraulics filled the dock as the thickly armored cargo ramp assembly pushed out from under the Eucharis' tail and rotated downward until it came to rest on the concrete with a brief scraping. At the top of the non-stick ramp stood Nitô Hei Victory Kuroki with her hand on the door controls, dressed in her navy blue working uniform. She looked out at the spaceport garage and took a deep breath of the rainy air, and then went to the crane controls, extending the crane over the ramp and then running from the ship to a forklift in the garage. She began loading new supplies onto the ship, starting with a box labeled Uniform, Coverall, Type 36. OD Green.
Wardroom
Hanako stood at the end of the table with the crew gathered around. "I wish the greatest success to those of you who are moving on to other assignments," Hanako smiled. "This commences our shore leave in Kyoto. You all have my permission to disembark whenever you are ready. Those of you who will remaining on the roster, please get permission if you plan to travel outside the city. Dismissed!"
