Eve tumbled forward into hallway of the Mikomi, almost losing her balance. She was laden with bags, boxes, and hangers with clothes on them. The girl made it as far as the stairs, before falling in a heap of things. "Ahh!" she yelped, thinking of how to get up without spilling any contents of the spree her mother had taken her on. "U-uhm..reporting for duty, miss Suzi?" she turned over, and stared at the ceiling.
Suzi appeared next to Eve and frowned. "Welcome back. We are leaving for Taiie right now. Battle situation, strap up and get ready." Suzi smiled and disappeared. Appearing next to Kestral. "We can leave now. Eve is on bored." Kestral nodded. "Let's get this show on the road. Suzi take control of the ship, make sure our shields are up." He flicked the switch for a general announcement. "Alright we will be at Taiie in a round about five mins. Prepare yourself." He flicked the switch again, he turned to Suzi. "We have to make contact with the YSS-Confidence as soon as we get there."
Ghi had finished in the med bay for now, but seeing nothing else to do she continued to read through her data pads. Last time she'd only got in the way, so now she'd just do research.
Nodding a slight bow to Ghi he had left to head back to the bridge. "Suzi. What are we to expect when we arrive in Taiie? Combat? Space or on board?" He was stepping onto the bridge still waiting for some answers since he was still unsure about his station.
Suzi replied simply. "There will be combat, and most probably both on board the ship, and in space. Just be ready for everything."
Saeki was tangled up in her sheets, in a seemingly impossible position. Her arms and legs were splayed out, her head under the pillow, feet sticking out beneath her blanket. She was snoozing deeply, dreaming of catnip and grapefruit and sex. Normal Saeki stuff, that is.
Tom stumbled onto the bridge in a huff. "What the hell is going on?" He was just slipping the pants leg of his military outfit on top of a pair of black slacks. His vest puffed out, as parts of a coat he was wearing stuck out. His hair was slicked back nicely and he had a rose in his ear.
Eve re-hooked the bags under her arm, and hefted the boxes up. I won't even be able to try any of this on. she thought as she managed to clear the stairs. Her quarters were right near the bottom, and she nudged the pad with her elbow, after a few misses opening the door, and dropping all her things on the bed in a heap. Reaching into a drawer for a hair-tie, she walked into the corridor towards the sickbay, putting her hair into a ponytail.
Ghi was becoming bored with reading the highly technical data of the Irim gunship, and so when she heard Eve approaching she came out to meet her, "Well what can I do for you?" She asked smiling, looking up at the taller woman.
"Oh uhmm, if I survive this campaign can you see if I could get clearance for a NH-22C or..M or something?" the Geshrin looked down the hall and back up as she asked. Her mother had made quite the big deal about it when they had been out, once Eve had been able to recognize her, anyway.
"I'll see what I can do." Ghi turned around again to continue the conversation, "Why do you want it?"
"Oh, umm..combat effectiveness?" Yamazaki asked, her hands folding together behind her back.
"An admirable cause to be sure." Ghi commented, "The wish to be able to kill things more efficiently is one of the driving forces in our society." For some reason she was feeling really quite biter, although her voice was merry.
Eve winced slightly. "Oh. R-right. Well, thank you.." she turned aft in the hallway. "I guess I'd better get ready then." she mentioned.
Ghi shrugged and returned to the bay, and to her data-pad, she was getting really quite bored about this. She couldn't do anything. She idly pulled up the data on a few diseases and read through them.
Saeki bolted out of bed, spazzing for a moment before crashing to the ground. As she lay there on her neck, her legs up in the air, her uniform slightly ruffled from being slept in for several hours, she shouted "...ROMULOX!! TO THE MOUNTAINS!!" She leapt to her feet, brushing herself off, and then took off out of her room and down the hall, making a beeline for the bridge.
Kestral turned round to see Tom walk in. "We are heading to Taiie, we have a battle on our hands. I suggest you get totally ready Tom, you have about seven minutes." Kestral smiled. "Suzi lets get out of here, pilot the ship away from the docks and get us in to hyper space." He sat down, checking that all his weapons where ready for combat.
Suzi piloted the ship out of it's dock and moved away at a surprising speed, she loved the ship, it was brand new...well sort of. As they got further away she flicked the switch for hyperspace. "Here we go captain." They where headed for Taiie.
Not liking the idea of getting in power armour since he only had the minimal training for it and pulled out his 28A Nekovalkyrja Service Pistol and checked it's safety before holstering it and then checking his knife. "Sure wish I had a few grenades." He spoke more to himself then to anyone around him. Suddenly he remembered he had a Type 28 10mm pistol in his pack that he was issued free of charge and bowed as he headed off the bridge again. "Well then I'm going to grab a few more things and head to air lock 2 if that's not a problem."
Tom checked his hip for his gun, which was there. His pants were ok as is, but he pulled off the upper portion of his outfit and ripped off his fancy date coat, jogging to the barracks and tossing it in. Returning with a much better appearance, the Geshrin could only sigh. His date was ruined.
Kestral moved out of the bridge, and down the corridor. His destination of the mindy armour bay, he wasn't to sure what they where up against but wanted to be ready. Taking his holster of and his rifle of his back he got into his Phalanx, did the standard checks, and began to get used to the suit again. He strapped the holster back on and put the rifle over his back, he was now totally ready. He moved back to the bridge and sat down, there where only two minutes for they arrived.
"Sir, can I have... like an update of what I'll be doing exactly?" Tom asked with confusion etched across his face. "Everyone is decking out the big guns."
"Tom, I suggest you get the Phalanx on, we don't know what we will hit." Kestral sighed, by the sounds of it, it was two ships against...a lot more.
"Sweet, another ride in the power armours." Tom jogged off the bridge to suit up.
Making it to the Bunkroom where he dropped his bag he dug out the 10mm and the extra clip pocketing the clip and strapping the pistol to his left ankle. Snapping his fingers as he thought of something. "Suzi make sure no one uses the air locks I'm going to set up a few surprises for any potential unwanted guests." He bolted out of the room heading for med bay. "Hope this ship can synthesize some nitrogen trichloride."
Suzi sighed...â€
