Mikasa Sorano walked out of the office belonging to Yui-Taisho. She was still trying to absorb the magnitude of the challenge that lay before her. I've been given command of the new Second Expeditionary Fleet. Reasonable with the war going on to expand our forces, but I'm supposed to set it up out on the edge of the sector. Starting with minimal resources, limited number of starting ships. Hell one squadron of Plumeria an outdated Chiharu-class Flagship. At least the Taisho was able to supply me with a Iori, of course until we get a dependable resource process in place, its production will be limited.
Exiting the building she entered the Classico that had been sent to bring her to her meeting. Before the car was moving she had her Isolated Computer Pad out and was reviewing candidates for her command staff. Not surprising that most of them are a bit low in the ranks. The losses we've been taken I consider myself fortunate to have a pool to choose from. she selected a few candidates from the list and connected her pad to the PANTHEON network to have their service records downloaded. While she was at it Sorano also asked for all the data available on System SX-04, and the planet Daichi. May as well learn as much as I can about where we're setting up operations. Once we get out there access to SAoY resources will being either from the south via the 1XF or a round about path cutting through occupied systems. Too much traffic from either route is bound to get the enemies attention.
Hide, Aid to Mikasa was waiting for the Taisho when the Classico pulled up. She opened the door and bowed as Sorano stepped out. "We have our work cut out for us Onikisui-Shosa. I have pulled a list of candidates for my staff, and for commanding our first ships. I want you to review the dossiers and organize them according to qualifications." Hide accepted the ICP, "Certainly Taisho, what is going on? Why did Yui-Taisho request your presence so early." she asked.
"We've been given a great opportunity, a challenge, an honor. The SSS has requested protection from the Star Army of Yamatai. So we are going to be their protectors, partners in exploration. We have been given the challenge of creating the 2XF, a fighting force out on the edge of known space. And we have to do it with very little support from the rest of the fleets." Sorano replied.
"So what are we going to do?" Hide asked, "How do you plan to put together a fleet without the resources of the Empire to support you?"
"I plan to scrape, scrounge, all that I can before we head out. The SSS is supposed to be working on gather supplies for us. And when its all said and done if necessary we will improvise. I have been given pretty much carte blanch to accomplish our mission." Sorano answered.
