RP: YSS Ryūjō YSS Ryūjō - Mission 1.2 The Eye Of The Storm

[BloodyScarlet]

Shuttle landing site
The pilot looked around the others on the shuttle and coughed "Hello all of you, The shuttle had a hard landing so it is best if you guys set up a defensive perimeter and um what is your name... that was it Sebastian, since you are a techie do you think you can check on this ship for us. Please make sure that ship can take off again when we need it to." The pilot knew he wasn't the highest rank on this shuttle but he also knew that they needed to do something and not just sit around "The enemy may already be converging on our position so we need to be prepared for when they come."

The pilot opened the hatch on the side of the shuttle "Now lets get out there and prepare, we will hopefully have the rest coming soon so as long as he defend we should be able to be rescued." The pilot went to the walls and opened up a couple of the survival kits "We have entrenching tools for those who can dig, we have our weapons and we have enough to hold out here."

He smiled as he grabbed a entrenching tool "I will let you guys decide who come out here with me and dig up some trenches for us to protect our way off this planet and out lovely Techie." He smiles as he moved out from the shuttle and looked around the planet "A forest can hide a lot against us so be careful we don't know who these people are or they are capable of doing yet." The pilot had walked to be about halfway between the shuttle and the edge of the clearing and starts to dig a defensive trench for the rest of the crew.

Ryujo
Takeyu sighed and got on comms with the escort team "Please hurry back, and let me know when all is secure and safe as we are going to move into that sector, I want to know our team is alright, we should be able to handle anything that happens."

He sighs as he looked around the deck and griped his chair as a message came through for him and he read it in private, it was about his replacement and when they will be getting there "We may have some new blood as well soon which will be good." He stood up and paced around the bridge and hoped that it was the right thing to do, jumping to the new system or if it would cause their downfall.

Escort Duty
The troop carriers were slow getting to the Ryujo which allowed the pilots escorting them to focus on their sensors to make sure no new bogies where sneaking against the transport. One of the fighters sighs "Everything seems to be clear, anyone have a good traveling story that we hear while we are traveling?" The carriers were getting ever so closer "Okay fighters, carrier pilot here, we will increase speed to the Ryujo so we don't waste anymore of your time" as the carriers increase speed the radars started to pick up bogies but their was no other visual of these bogies around the fighters.

A small ship had jumped in then away from the fighter and looked like a scout to see what was happening out of the system but that didn't explain why there was steadily growing amounts of bogies coming on the radars, the fighter pilot from before spoke up "Guys are you getting these reading, can anyone see anything!?"

YSS Ryujo : Hanger Bay 5 : Slot A

Errowyn "Hellcat" Yomeobito sat on the edge of her Kawarime with the radio on to tactical to listen in on what is going on as her craft was going through some maintenance due to catching some debris from her encounter with the Bogey that nearly killed the CAP. It had seriously disabled the combat effectiveness of it. She was glad that those that survived were rescued and brought back to the Ryujo.

She and the deck crew were talking about the replacement of the current Captain. At least the rumor of it. "I would wager, and it would be a shame to take your money," she looked up as the weapons cart pulled up to re-arm her craft with missiles. Looking over the load out she smiled as it was an aggressive one, with the standard defensive measure package.

Then the radio came to life with chatter. She fell quiet and listened. She looked to the connecting bays of 4 and 6. She could see the Kawarime with the damaged wing being worked on in bay section 4. The back up Kawarime was in the ready slot just like hers. Then she looked to Bay Section 6. That Kawarime had a shattered cockpit which definitely killed that pilot. There was the replacement on the A slot but no pilot been assigned to it yet. It sat forlorn, yet ready to go with its complimentary combat load.

She perked up at hearing the talk about Bogeys, wishing her Techs moved faster in getting her Kawarime ready.

YSS Ryujo : Bridge

As time passed without the Chu-sa giving any further instructions to him, Kakeru started to wonder if the captain had forgotten about him. Fighting the urge to fidget, he finally gave in to his desire to do something and gave a "polite" cough to remind the Chu-sa that he was still there.

"Chu-sa dono, normally we would have about 3 weeks to prepare a proper preliminary recon but we were in a hurry so right now, we have no information at all about our enemy. I can try to do a HALO (High Altitude/Low Opening) jump into the city itself and see if I can get some intel on who or what we are fighting with and their capabilities. Just knowing what we are fighting with would be a great help to our units?" Kakeru suggested. Right now, they were fighting blind, not knowing who or what they were against. Even a single vid or photocapture of the enemy would change them from a "faceless foe" to a "known quality", alleviating a lot of the fear of the unknown that the soldiers at the front would be feeling.

 

[BloodyScarlet]

Hanger Bay 5

The techs work quicker with the acknowledgment that their will be serious problems if they don't get a move on, Ships launch as soon as they are ready to go. When Errowyn's ship was ready to go the techs move away and smile "All ready for you to go and fight Ma'am" they salute and leave the ship for it's pilot. With all the ships ready to go the techs make some final adjustments to a couple of the fighters and prepare for the worst.

Space

Outside the Ryujo all there was around was weapon fire and ships from both sides of the fight, the fighters against what seemed liked materialized energy, one of the fighter yelled "Can anyone see what is attacking us!?" the enemy seemed to be everywhere and no where, but every so often a fighter got a target and a small white and gold fighter would appear with a scorch mark then disappear again. The radars were pointing out where the enemies where but the fighters couldn't concentrate on that as they were all getting shot and needed to dodge while trying to shoot and check on the radar where these ship were.

A small shuttle appears in the middle of the firefight and maneuverers around the battlefield as a woman spoke over the comms "Hello YSS Ryujo, seems like there is some trouble, good thing I have come now" the half snake woman smiled "I am Chusa Gorganis and I hope after this fight I can meet you all for a chats." She growls as the shuttle gets hit "Hey watch it pilot, we have more people here that are needed for this ship."

As the ship dodged attacks from both sides and Sibyl noticed that there had to be an easy way to deal with these ships "I expect you guys to work out what to do to deal with these fighters, I can see the radar is showing where they are, maybe you guy can work together." She said this coldly as she watched her new fighters flying by themselves around the battlefield, she sighed and turned to the others on the ship "I picked you two up because you both showed promised for this ship and I expected that you won't disappoint in your duties, as both of you are welcome additions to the ship."

The shuttle comes to dock in the Ryujo soon after with multiple burn marks and Sibyl exits "Please make yourself acquainted to the ship, but I expect you will be needed very soon so may be best to stay here, you are both medics and the pilots may have use for you when they return to the Ryujo."

Bridge

Takeyu looked over to the person who talked and sighed "I am sorry for ignoring you there sir, and that is a brilliant idea and I support your offer but as you heard there is a new Chusa coming up so you may have to run it by her."

Sibyl entered the Bridge and looked around "Ah feels good to be in my natural habituated, and Chusa why hasn't there been a recon team sent in to see what our enemies are capable of, we have soldiers firing blindly out there because of it" she slithered over to the SAINT and circled them "You will do sir, tell me what you think of sending a small force planet side to recon what is going on, I can tell you are intelligence by your colours." she looked over the room"I of course will go down with the squad as not to cause fiction with you Chusa Takeyu" she saluts the captain and turns back to the man in front of her "We have a medic ready to go down in the Hangers and hopefully a few of the pilots will com, is this agreeable with you?" She checks her datapad "And it seems some of the crew is already down planet side, what is going on with them?"

Takeyu sighed, this new captain was what he had heard, she knew what was going on, sooner than she should, but that was probably the MEGAMI and then she goes and makes a plan without actually discussing it fully.

 

[Rhysis]

Ryujo, shuttle docking

Shoi Kohosei Lucas Zion's head was spinning. Not only had he taken the leap of going to medical school, then added extra training on top of it to become an expert in a diversity of races, but now he was taking on his first duty assignment after joining the Yamatain military to follow in the pursuit of saving lives.

He'd gotten used to the looks. A Nepleslian cyborg in medical school in Ketsurui no lori was unusual, to say the least. Thankfully, his internship and residency had been done in Central Uesureya, where a greater diversity of species existed. Not only did that make him somewhat less of an oddity, it also afforded him the opportunity to gain experience treating people from many other planets. He was even allowed to stay on there as an attending physician while he continued his studies.

The others called him crazy when he announced he was joining the Star Army. His passion for saving lives and the exact precision he was able to achieve thanks to his cybernetic augmentations made hi one of the best doctors that hospital had. Plus, he'd be giving up the wealth and prestige he'd accumulated. Just to further drive home the point, he gave his money to his parents to invest, donated his house and vehicle to the hospital, and resigned immediately.

Now, having completed his training, he was on a shuttle, with his new captain, nonetheless. Why he was being assigned to the Ryujo was clear. "It'll be a great chance for promotions." He'd been told. He didn't, really, care if he never saw a promotion in his life. True, it was standard practice for a Kohosei to see Shoi right after their first mission, but that wasn't his concern. He was there to preserve life. Anything else was second to him.

Good thing, too. By the looks of the battle outside, his services were badly needed. "Aye aye, Ma'am." Was Zion's response to Sibyl. Her thoughts didn't quite line up with his, but she had no way of knowing that he already memorized the layout of the ship. Deck four was easy to find from here. Nevertheless, he could get there with wounded if it was needed. Taking his new captain's suggestion, he set his few belongings down against a wall and waited for the inevitable injured to arrive.

Space

This was it. Tora didn't expect to be immediately thrown into the fray when he completed training, but the danger excited him regardless. Unfortunately, it was a wrong kind of excitement.

Strapped in a seat aboard the shuttle with the few others on board, he gripped his knee with one arm and had a hand on his pistol holster with another. Like that would help anything. He seemed obviously anxious as the shuttle zoomed closer to the Ryujo - And cringed when the little shuttle took a hit, his face frowning deeply. He looked towards the other two nearby - Both of them officers. He studied them both most of the time while looking out to space, trying to decipher what was going on. He knew there was some kind of attack going on, but who or what, he could not determine.

While he got himself a bit more comfortable in his seat by swishing his tail a bit to the other side. He remained in such an anxious position until Chusa refers to him and the other officer, of which he responds with a curt "Aye, ma'am", in coordinated unison with the other Nepleslian. He began to unstrap himself as the shuttle enters Ryujo's hanger, grabbing for his duffel bag stowed nearby.

He did come to the Star Army to help other soldiers in need, but he has a slightly more selfish attitude, to fight on his own accord; The adrenaline rush was always enjoyable whenever he found himself in a battle. He suppressed this thought as he exited the shuttle; There's no need to die carelessly day one.

Ryujo

He agreed with the sentiment that injured men and women were soon to come, and decided to stick around. He came up close to Zion, few feet away, while he sets his duffel bag down. For a few course moments the little Minad looked away and familiarized himself with his surroundings before turning to Zion. He gives a small, warm smile before making some small talk. "Hi! It looks like we'll probably be around each other a bit, considering we're both medics."

YSS Ryujo : Battle

Errowyn dropped into her fighter as the canopy closed. She was dropped down into the launch area. Once aligned with the exit, she hit full after burners. She shot out of the launching tube and cutting across the incoming shuttles path that held the new Chusa. Leading the other two fighter. She quickly transmitted the data she had gleaned during recon flight of the planet and chasing down the probe that almost wiped out the CAP.

She "saw' with both visual and electronic eyes and flew with a thought as she streaked into battle. Ignoring the other Kawarimes and other fighters, she closed in on the bosy. Once she had target lock she fired as she gave chase against the enemy fleet of fighters. She watched the enemy ship vaporize as she was lining up another shot, sending an anti-ship missile into another enemy fighter watching it explode into space dust.

Hellcat gave orders to fighter pilots she recognized over tactical, getting them organized quickly as possible as she flew helter skelter amongst the enemy fighters. She growls as energy brushed across her 'metallic skin', as dove and swooped, spun, climbed, looped. Two more of the enemy blossomed into brief fiery flowers of being vaporized from her guns or missiles. Or by their partners.

With the information that Hellcat and transmitted to the Ryujo's fleet of fighters, the tide of battle turned. She was in the Zone and racking up kills. Sometime taking out enemy fighters when the opportunity presented itself without getting target lock.

She cajoled, encouraged and set up runs for the friendly pilots to whack out the enemy fighters. Who ever these guys were, never met 'Hellcat'5' in battle before and they was dying by the now rallied SAoY Fighters.

With the battle shifting farther out from the fleet, rescue shuttles were abled to be deployed to recover the wounded and those ejected before their Kawarimes became dust.

=========================
Planet side - Broken down Shuttle
=========================

Sebastian Wells, Santo Hei to the Ryujo, had been injured when their shuttle had crash landed. They had thought that their landing site would have been more secure, but sadly that was not the case. Her crewmates that were on, at least some of them, were badly injured. Just as she was. Still, she did her best to fight on with the others to make the shuttle itself as secure as possible. That was about 24 hours before help arrived and was she ever relieved!

As the pilot of the ships that were sent to rescue the shuttle came out and introduced himself, she watched with stoic features as he first addressed her. Her! She was low on the totem pole, but apparently he was briefed on the crew here and knew that, in spite of her just being an armorer for the ship, she had more knowledge than that and could easily work on it. She nodded at his request and went to work.

She moved slow, but she moved. Her mechanical arm was damaged, but still functional. Her side had a wound that was field dressed, but she would work through it. Her father trained her well in that. Her other arm had scratches and burn marks, but still she worked. When she heard the pilot divvy out the rest of his instructions, she had to frown a bit. Pretty? I am not pretty. She shook her head and went to work on fixing up the shuttle now that she didn't have to focus on fighting and surviving.

 

[Rhysis]

Ryujo - Shuttle Docking

Zion nodded to the Minkan. "Seems that way. And if you're the other new medical personnel, that must mean that you're Santo Hei Tora Gakusha, right?" Zion held out his hand to Tora, in greeting. He'd made a point of learning as much as he could about the personnel with whom he'd be serving. It would do no good to be surprised by the race of those you were meant to be treating, only to find out that you didn't have the necessary equipment to do so. Their captain, for instance, was a Separa'Shan. Not only that, but she was a Venis. The AMTD wasn't equipped to deal with Separa'Shan biology, which meant that if she ever needed medical treatment, there would be no option but for him or, if he was able, Tora to deal with the issue. That was something he planned to remedy as soon as possible.

"You can call me Zion."

The cyborg went over to his belongings and retrieved a couple medical kits he'd pieced together himself, then set up a makeshift triage station. "Most of the crew of this ship are either Minkan or Neko, but they vary in which version, so be careful. However, there are a few Yamataians and Nepleslians in the mix, as well. How experienced are you with varied races?"

 

[Cookies]

"Right." He gladly takes the Nepleslian's hand and gives it a vigorous shake before letting go. "I hope we can work together well, Zion."

He observed as he began to create his little station; Getting the idea, he decides to help him with his own supplies and gear to make it a little bigger, setting it up alongside him.

Tora nods as he listened to Zion as they finished up, and responds nonchalantly, "I can handle pretty much anyone, or, well, anything, you toss at me. I just can't get too complex when it comes down to surgery, you know? It will probably be better if you led in that and I assist. I'd need different tools for the more, uhh, 'exotic' races, though." Zion would probably know who he was referring to.

He's performed surgeries, sure. He's performed surgeries on more races he could count - The training camps could not teach him that. Most of the knowledge and experience through the medical field was gained as a disciple of his intelligent mother. It was not nearly enough to, say, pry a piece of lead that's stuck right in some poor fool's cranium. He hoped he wouldn't have to do that.

 

[Rhysis]

Shuttle bay

"Oh that's not a problem, at all. I can teach surgery on most races pretty easily. But you're right, Chusa Sibyl Gorganis has a unique biology as compared to most Star Army personnel." Much like the business-like captain, Zion focused on his duties more than anything. Her rank was to be respected, but he wasn't intimidated to speak her name when talking about her. In his mind, he had no reason to be.

He continued his observations. "You have to know where the humanoid ends and the reptile begins with any Separa'Shan, but when dealing with a Venis, which the Chusa is, it's even more critical. They're more serpentine than the Pythus. Don't feel bad about not knowing much about their physiology. The AMTC can't even treat her, at the moment. That's something I hope to..."

He was cut off by the sound of the first fighters coming in for treatment. The battle still raged outside, but those whose ships had been crippled came back when they could no longer do any good in the fight. This was the reason Lucas Zion had joined Star Army. The moment the ships arrived, he opened the craft and helped the pilots out, aiding them over to the triage station in pairs. His friendly demeanor vanished, and he went straight into emergency treatment. "Tora, triage them in priority order. Only emergency cases go to the Medbay. Most of these are Minkan or Nekovalkyrja and should need minimal treatment. Anyone who can wait needs to do so."

There was one pilot, in particular, that Zion didn't wait for the triage process. A Yamataian man arrived who had so much metallic debris imbedded in his body that Zion guessed he had, at best, minutes to live. Without time to even wait for a patient platform, the cyborg hefted the man in his arms, and literally ran him, full speed, to the medbay, allowing his mechanized legs to act as a shock absorber. Yes, taking the full impact of his and the pilot's weight along with their speed was damaging to the mechanisms in his legs. However, the mechanical workings of his artificial limbs could be repaired. If the pilot was jostled too much, he could not be.

Zion hurriedly got the man into the medbay, gave him a strong sedative, cleaned and sanitized himself, and began the process of removing shrapnel from his patient's throat, where it had severed a carotid artery. Not all types of shrapnel could be removed the same way. The metal that was in this man's body had the potential to do more damage on the way out. It required the finest of detail. His artificially enhanced hand-eye coordination served its purpose in this endeavor. As soon as the metal fragments were removed from the most critical areas of the pilot's body, Zion applied cellular spray, and transferred him over to the AMTC for the remainder of the job.

He quickly cleaned himself up and ran back to the shuttle bay where he checked to see what progress Tora had made.

YSS Ryujo :: Space Battle

Errowyn began sending Kawarimes and the other fighters of the fleet back to re arm and get some repairs in before returning to battle. She began to pick up the enemy tactics. The energy signature and volumetric fighters were distraction so that the real fighter could attack the otherwise distracted Yamataian Fighter crafts. She spread the word as other top pilots were also deducing the same thing. They passed the word on. It moral lifting when 6 enemy fighters disappeared when the real one died in a fiery death and in the vacuum of space. Then it was her turn return to re-arm.

Hellcat flew into her bay after radioing ahead, alerting deck crews what she needed. It was nice to take a breather and eat. Coming up into hanger, she looked around through her cockpit canopy at the wounded awaiting to be treated. She opened her canopy as the deck crew swarmed her craft, re-arming it and getting her snack as she sat on the lift.

YSS Ryujo :: Hanger bay -5 / Battle

As soon as the shuttle was unloaded and Hellcat 5's was re-armed, He eased the Shuttle in tight next to the Kawarime, seeing she was a bit off center which gave him room on the lift. She blinked at seeing the shuttle eased next to her. But then they was dropping down to launch.

"Shuttle, 5, on my mark we launch together." Errowyn contacted the shuttle pilot as the lift dropped with the two crafts rather quickly. "3... 2... 1... Mark!"

Both crafts hit afterburners and shot down the tube, both pilot trusting the other for their expertise to clear the tube in a dual launch. Once clearing the ship, they spilt apart, giving each other maneuver room and the Shuttle falling in as wing as other Kawarimes joined up from their launches.

Shuttle dropped back into the pocket of the V formation and followed them till it had to pull off to go respond to an emergency beacon of a fighter pilot in need. "Thanks for the escort. Good Hunting."

Hellcat and her wing rejoined the battle with vengeance.

When the damaged fighters came in, there was no question on what he would see next. He helped open the bay doors for them as he escorts the injured men and women to the triage station, saying quickly "Aye sir" as he is given the order while Zion scurries off with a critically-wounded individual. He watches only for a moment in awe before returning to the situation at hand.

Whilst he sorted out the soldiers amongst the station, he quickly planned out internally his course of action. There were about a dozen injured who have clambored in, and luckily, none of them appeared as totally wounded as the poor sap who turned into a pin-cushion. From what he deduced, he found mainly lacerations, burns and other nasty bits that were inflicted. If a fighter were to be taken down entirely, well, the pilot inside would surely immediately die if the internal hull that nestled the pilot was penetrated.

Most were only slightly injured. One, however, another Minkan, was bleeding profusely from a long slash along her shoulder, drawing against her arm. He approached her first, making small talk to distract her from the pain she was probably experiencing. His calm demeanor relaxed the Minkan as he worked, as he noticed some small bits of shrapnel embed in the flesh. Well that's just wonderful.

Tora gave the Minkan a sedative while he sterilizes himself and slaps on some gloves on his hands. He works to remove the tiny little bits out of the Minkan's wound with a simple pair of tweezers. Once finished, he disinfects the wound, stops the bleeding, stitches it up and applies a gauze pad for good measure.

He worked on the Minkan quickly, only a matter of a few minutes. The next patients would not be as troublesome at all, and he almost finished clearing out most of them by the time Zion returned. At the time, Tora was simply examining the remaining three soldiers, who appeared unfazed.

================================
Planet Side - Brokendown Shuttle
================================

The rescue pilots all worked on creating trenches to ensure the safety of those near the damaged shuttle. Even as they were there, stragglers did make their way in, some able to join in the defenses once they were given stimuli to do so. In the meantime, there were enemies coming as well, though by the reports of those straggling in it would be some time before they made it to the crash site.

"Sebastian, darlin', how's it coming along in there?" The pilot that first introduced himself came over to check on her. He could only see her lower half sticking out from under the shuttle as she worked and he knew that she was fighting to remain conscious enough to get the job done. She may be slow, but as far as he could tell she was moving fast enough. He kept an eye out for anyone coming from the outposts, but he was still concerned with the mechanic.

Sebastian, on the other hand, had just finished the repairs she could do down below and scooted out from under the shuttle. She looked up, her bright green gaze taking him in as she said softly, "It's almost done. We should be able to leave in about half an hour."

The pilot nodded and looked rather relieved. So far, there was nothing for them to worry about. At least, not on the ground yet. "Good. Hopefully we can get out of here before the-" He was interrupted by shouts coming from the other side of the make-shift camp. "Sir, Sir! Enemy spotted! We got 15 minutes before they arrive." With a scowl, he looked to Sebastian apologetically, "You heard them. Your time is cut short. Do what you can."

She nodded and sighed, "I can get it to at least take off. Hopefully any other repairs I can do as we head back to ship, if need be." With a nod to each other, the two split off to work on their own missions. Him to get everyone rallied to defend where they knew the enemy was coming. Her to get the ship off the ground ASAP.

 

[BloodyScarlet]

Space Battle

The Battle raged on terribly for both sides as the enemy ships blasted apart lone ships of the Ryujo's team and the teams that were working together managed to destroy ships on the enemy side. A fighter flew beside Errowyn and the pilot smiled as he got Errowyn on comms "On the sensor there is something that isn't moving like anything else" he then gave her the coordinates and there was something surround by the fighters on the radar their was no easy way to get to.

As more of the enemy fighters were destroyed, more signals joined the unmoving thing in space, it seemed they were protecting it when they realised that the crew was winning.

YSS Ryujo

Sibyl sighed not getting an answer from the SAINT she slithered away from the Command Deck "I am going down there without you then, we need those troops back up here, we need some information of this stuff." She slithered away and went down to the hanger again "You two, the medics I came with, I need you to come with me, we are going down there to rescue that crew with a shuttle" she growled lightly "We need to NOW" she headed to the shuttle they came in on.

Takeyu leaned back in his chair "And the Viper is here, I hope she takes care of this place right and not like what I have heard about her before." He sighed as he watched the battle outside and sighed "Men be careful, Sibyl is leaving the ship to help the away team, so please be careful when firing."

Broken-down Shuttle

There was a scream as a solider got hit by a plasma shot straight in the chest as the man collapsed, more shots were fired and there was shouts from the woods, the pilot swore loudly and looked at Sebastian and sighed "Can you fight? I don't think we can finish with this fight happening, unless you are sure you can do it" he took cover and protected her s gold and green figures appeared in the gaps of the trees whenever one was seem men fired hoping to hit them, it each hit a clang and a whirling sound happened and when fell over it exploded in a small radius.

Ryujo-Hangar

Zion didn't waste any time in obeying the instructions of his captain. He pointed to the troops awaiting treatment. "You three head to the Medbay. Use the AMTC for treatment. Start at the ATU and do not deviate from its follow up procedures."

Each of the three remaining patients nodded at the instruction and headed to the Medbay for their respective treatments. Zion grabbed a few minor surgical implements, first aid and emergency medical supplies that he'd need for an away mission, which was substantially less cargo than most medics would take, considering a large portion of what he would generally use was implanted in his body. He didn't bother giving instructions to Tora. If the man was even halfway worth his salt, he'd know what to do in order to follow Sibyl's orders.

Zion followed quickly behind the serpentine form of the Chusa and re-boarded the shuttle from which they'd just recently departed. "Do we have any information on what to expect on the surface, Captain?"

 

[SmokeEmpress]

Broken Shuttle

Sebastian had just shut the compartments that would protect the engines on the outside when the enemy came at them. She looked back and reached for her own weapon, aiming to shoot at the others, but she was weak from losing a lot of blood and from having to focus on the repairs. She sighed as she said. "It's ready. Let's get out of here as fast as we can." She tucked her weapon away as well as the tools she had used and clamored inside the shuttle, staggering as she tried to not faint before getting into a seat. She had to leave it up to the pilot, unfortunately, for she was unable to do anything else for the time being.

As she got in, she looked for the first aid kit and, upon finding it, gave herself a stimulant to help keep her awake in case she had to make any other repairs as they flew. She did know that the weapons on board should work...but that didn't mean nothing would go wrong.

Space Battle

"We can't attack it, what ever it is. Pass the word to be alert for Friendly fire for the Big ships!" Errowyn replied back to the Fighter at her side that was now her wingman.

She switched frequency to YSS Ryujo. "We need the Big guns. Coordinates for fire." She transmitted her display of the Unusual Large disturbance that remained concealed from her scanners and the fighters she was with. She had lost way to many pilots from the fleet of Star Army Warships. But they were winning, but at cost of the inexperienced ones. Even few of the veteran Combat pilots had met their fate.

She switched back to the fighter tactical frequency overriding communication. "Attention all fighters, Hellcat speaking. Stay clear. Hopefully the fleet ships big guns can give us an edge. Fall back. Don't get suckered, let them run if they are going to run. Hellcat out."

Errowyn hated to give such an order. But there was times even she knew it was suicidal to charge forth to bring the fight to enemy. Only thing she and the rest of the Fighters could do a holding as they fought the rest of the enemy fighters. She hoped that the rest of the fighters would follow her orders regardless of rank. But she knew a few of them would have to learn the hard way.

Errowyn switch frequencies to the Evac/Rescue shuttles, "Stay behind us. Don't respond to help by those that are going after the big object. Until we get the support of the Big Ship's Guns." Another order she hated to give. Since when she had become responsible for the lives those that were out here, when she would've just dove into swarm of fighters that was guarding something that was fouling up her scanners.

Tora made haste as he grabbed whatever essential supplies to bring along with him. After Zion gave orders to the remaining three personnel, he followed him in quick order, power-walking to the shuttle.

He set the supplies down in the shuttle, and took at seat amongst the men/women aboard. He said nothing, his hands together on his lap as he listens to what goes on around him. He would only speak until spoken to. He did seem disappointed, however, an expression clearly marked on his face. Tora did not expect to be thrown into fire so quickly; At least take him out to dinner first!

When Zion made his inquiry towards Sibyl, Tora turned his head expectantly towards her and listens for her answer.
