Onboard the YSS Phantom
Two Days after Drill
At first glance, they could have been stars hanging in the sky. At second glance, they were satellites drifting across the abyss. At third glance, they were weapons of destruction. Messengers of death who flew quick and true, piercing the heart of the enemy with lances made of light. Angels of Death.
To Tachibana Hayate, they were guard dogs who had nothing to do. Nowhere to go. And so grew fat as they waited for the enemy to come to them. But when they came... Who knew what would happen? Fat dogs could not run quickly, and were helpless as the sheep were slaughtered by Wolves.
He had plans for them, but for now he had to focus on his own wolves. The tamed beasts ready to be unleashed on the sheep at his command. They waited patiently for him to give the command.
"Wild," He requested quietly from his seat within the Command Bridge, "Patch me through on a Task Force-Wide band so I may speak with the crew of all ships."
"Hai." The MEGAMI's voice whispered into his mind.
"Soldiers of Task Force Phantom, this is Tachibana Hayate-Taii speaking. I have requested and received permission to commence operations against the SMX and NMX forces. You have thirty minutes to prepare your crew and combat teams, and then we will fold to a secret location from which we may strike the enemy. For Yamatai! For the Empress!" He paused to let it sink in. "Remember Daichi, South Gate, and the cowardly assault on our forces and depots that began this new war. Remember. That is all. Tachibana-Taii out."
The transmission cut, and Tachibana was alone, smiling in the command bridge as ships began readying for battle.
----------------
As soon as Tachibana's speech ended, Wild appeared before Takeshi and Sakaki wherever they were aboard the ship while off-duty.
The MEGAMI's preferred volumetric projection was a Wildcat with long claws and scruffy hair. Its ears were trained forward in attention as it 'spoke'.
"Arkase Oshiro-Heisho requests your presence in the Power Armour Bay immediately. You are ordered to prepare for combat operations. You will be briefed upon arrival." And with that, the cat disappeared.
