Hikaru went over the take off prep, and got the ship ready as he did so. However his eyes kept going over the snowy forest that they were parked over. This world had been his prison for a year it was hard to remember a day when it hadn't snowed or something awful had happened to him in this place. He looked at the screens that showed him the outside, and felt a small tinge of something deep and hateful inside of him. Something angry that he had to come back to this world. After going through the prep to make sure that the seeker was okay, and ready for take off.
After a little while longer he huffed, and decided that he couldn't take standing in the seeker alone, and walked outside. His flight suit helped, but after a year in this place he found it strangely didn't affect him all that much. His body didn't shiver as he stepped outside, and he didn't really have all that much of a change. He had been meaning to go to a doctor about the fact that his body had been running colder, ever since he came back from this world.
He just kind of assume he had adapted, even though he was pretty sure that wasn't at all how adaptation to an off terran world worked. If anything his body should have run hotter, not colder.
He shrugged and walked outside, following to the smoke and fire. "Hey, Kiyoko!" He called out across the snowy forest finding her in the company of another man.
the fact that he didn't recognize the other or his uniform raised a few red flags. Kiyoko didn't seem hostile towards him, but even so Hikaru's hand went to his service weapon. It was one of those better safe than sorry moments.
"Who's the new guy?" Asking more than willing to shoot him. Why was it anytime another man stood alone with his sister the first impulse was always to shoot the other person? Cause you are insecure and get jealous way too easily

Kiyoko Ino Alister IV; Forest August 28th 4566; Late Evening
Kiyoko noticed her brother pop up as she was conversing with the Major. She shrugged as her brother drew his weapon. "It's alright... MSA is here supporting the Federations operations here... So by you coming out I guess we're ready to go... This place is hella cold; how'd you stand all this cold oniichan...." Kiyoko defaulted back to the older brother thing as they had agreed even though calling him that was probably not the most professional way to address him during work; she did not care though as her brother was close to her and that is what mattered to her. She did wonder if he would shoot someone though if she tried to like get somebody else into their games. She remembered her brother didn't like the idea at first but was he open to it... She would need to find a better place than a snowy death wasteland to ask him such a question. How could people live on this planet; it was like spring was one month here and the other months it snowed and was cold as fuck.

DFS Lavie Locker Room August 28th 4566; Late Evening
Upon arrival back on board the Lavie Lumi who had replaced her avatar form in joining the team back up to the ship was changing with Emily. Yumi was there as well; Yumi was quite disappointed in that she really did not do anything this mission; she wished she was of more use to the crew after her Captain was captured and nearly raped but thanks to an MSA strike force was saved and what was with all these powered individuals; did the use of gems really cause a rise in those with powers… She was concerned about this thing most of all and she wished she could interrogate one of the FSF sympathizers to gather this information yet basically all enemy units either were destroyed or had retreated. A nice way of putting that this battle was a slaughterhouse. Lumi could tell something was on the woman’s mind but did not inquire further as she believed it was something she could not help her with. Lumi instead made a comment to Emily as she wanted to learn why someone with her skills was just a backup helm pilot and shuttle pilot; she felt the woman could be of more use with her skills. “You are quite the efficient pilot… You could have qualified to be an AMC pilot with your skills; why did you join the regular fleet service would it not have made more sense to join a service where your piloting skills would be used to their maximum ability?”
Emily had completed her sonic shower,and started to change over, drying off her body back in the community locker room. She was placing on her undergarments as she heard footsteps walking into the locker room. At first she was not sure who was walking in. "Thanks, but I like flying the starship," said Emily as she reached for her uniform, pulling on her pants. She was physically tired, after wearing that damn armor all day. When you wear it, you do not realize how heavy it is. Her body was tired and a little sore, but nothing a good nights rest would not cure, but she had no doubt, the crew was going to party tonight.
"I see... I guess it is safer though..." Lumi replied as she herself went into the shower. Water was a thing she enjoyed but sadly only certain rooms had actual water showers; most crew and such had to do with sonic showers. It was passable for cleaning purposes however. She cleaned herself in short order almost like a marine would; it took her minutes. Yumi whom was still dressing when Lumi came out; apparently still preoccupied said to her. "Did you even have enough time in there?" "Such things are not worth extra time..." Yumi just stared at Lumi. She was strange indeed Yumi thought even for being an extension to the ship she seemed only chummy with the Captain and First Officer... Well there were a few others but still. Yumi returned to her own thoughts as Lumi changed. She did not know if there was anything else to say to Emily as not much conversation other then that required to complete their work occurred between the pilot and herself.
"Any word on an after party? Asked Emily, wondering if she needed to make an appearance at the lounge or some other location? She was a little tired, but she was still new and wanted to fit in, unlike her brother. She was a people person and Lumi was the first person to come up to her, and actually talked to her. There was no hidden motives or agenda's in her tone. Which Emily appreciated. She came from a large family and there was always some plotting or scheming going on, or struggles to over come. It was nice, that all she needed to worry about, was herself for once.
Lumi finished dressing and sat there thoughtful for a moment after Emily spoke. “After-party… Hum…. I don’t know actually… If there were one it would be in the lounge I think though… I know a party would be fun but I don’t think it would serve any other official purpose so I believe it would be optional.” Lumi knew of parties as she had been to some before herself and did find them fun but wondered why they would have a party after a war… Soldier morale or something… She would have to ask someone about this. Yumi finishing her use of the room left seeing as she was not really needed or wanted apparently by the occupants of the room; she was use to it though and so she just headed to the intel office to gather what she could on her query about FSF.
"I think that's the most depressing thing I have ever heard, even the klingons know you celebrate after a long fought victory. We can not choose to put our lives on hold, just because Darius Maximus is a tool and his people follow him so blindly. We won, we should be celebrating Miss Trouve, until the late hours of the night." She said with a big grin on her face, hoping that Lumi and others in the locker room, heard her rally cry for a party.
"What do you want to do, I want to rally a few of the troops. Come on Miss Trouve, let get a few drinks in at the lounge, what do you say?" She asked, hoping that Lumi would come around, and celebrate the night. Emily at first did not want to go out, but now here she was trying to rally others to go to the lounge, her speech motivated herself to go out and celebrate. It seemed like war, had everyone a bit on edge and down, it was slightly depressing.

Hukari had called the ambassadors whom were already on board the Lavie to meet with her to discuss Trinity, combining forces and plans from this point. She knew she would need to stay with the fleet and eventually return to Earth but she wanted to take this time to strengthen her new Special Forces Unit.
She knew she could trust Yuka and her people. She also knew based on the MSA’s involvement in the most recent battle that she could trust them, the Kiru Alliance’s Forces also sending a ship showed she could trust them… She had a group to finally make up of ships for Trinity save for the Lavie itself but would her new allies accept this role; the same went for Dom and the Captain of the Providence. In this case Hukari waned their allegiance she would NOT order her soldiers or her allies to take part in this if they did not want. Once everyone was set up in the room she spoke.
“So everyone; this battle went as well as can be expected… Before I begin explaining why you are here today does anyone have any questions for me?” Yuka had also come here and Yukari had made her way into the room as well. She figured since once Sakura and Wren arrived at the President's quarters she was not there so why not participate in this meeting herself. There would be other things to meet about later but considering all the Captain's invovled in this meeting it must be important.
Fleet Captain Dylan Gand and the Major in charge of the MACOs was there with Captain Gand serving as the Manticorian Systems Alliance rep.
Sarah Gillman was still waiting to hear back from Dom Martinez, she was waiting on the DFS Providence. She noticed the the DFS Phoenix jumped back in, but they were not in the main battle enagement, she walked into the room with Hukari and the other digniaries.
Sarah walked over to Hukari. "Madam President, its great to see you again." She said, trying to make small talk.
"If Darius were less of a problem I would be doing better Senator Gillman but as is life; or mine at least..." Hukari said sort of shrugging off the annoyance of Darius taking planets "randomly".
Dom walked in wearing his dress uniform. He was not really fond of the uniform. He came in with his first officer, Miyoko Yarrington. She was also in her dress uniform as well. Dom noticed Sarah in the room, talking with the President. He wanted to talk to Sarah, but Captain Layton had yet to give him permission, to talk about the fact that Paul was the mole.
"Alstair IV has been liberated, we could celebrate that victory." Suggested Sarah, as she just caught a glance of Dom. He looked good in his dress uniform. She wanted to know how his mission went? But she knew he had been on a special assignment, but did not know what the mission was.
Miyoko looked to Dom. "You should talk to her." SAid Miyoko, noticing Dom, continuously observing Sarah. He turned around and looked at Miyoko. "I would love too, but we are under orders." He said.
"You can atleast say hi to her, plus I want to meet the president." Said Miyoko, wanting to meet the President.
Hukari brings order to the room by speaking again. "So as everyone here knows I am Hukari Carain President of the Galactic Federation. The rest of you likely do not know each other though... So... introduce y ourselves." Her first glance was at Yuka whom was purposefully placed at the left end of the room. Yuka tilted her head thinking to herself. "Wait... I'm off-duty I just came ot see what was going on... damn you... oh welll.... Might as well since I'm here." Yuka then said. "I'm Yuka Layton; I command the
Dom shook his head no, he motioned for Miyoko to sit down at the table. He put both of his hands on the table and listened to what Hukari had to say. He noticed Sarah sitting down as well.(edited)
Gand straighten himself up to his full height of six foot six. "I am Fleet Captain Dylan Gand, commanding officer of the Manticorian Systems Alliance Fleet Starship Challenger and overall commanding officer of all MSA units in this conflict." He said in a respectful tone. "I will represent Senator Krinn of the Alliance in this matter."
Gand then indicated the man next to him, "This is Major A.M. Weaver, he is in charge of all the Alliance ground based operations for the Alliance here."
Major Weaver simply nodded, his dark eyes going over to Yuka and regarding bher with a concerned look for the briefest of moments before his entire expression became unreadable again.
"Lieutenant Commander Domingo Martinez, Commander of the DFS Phoenix, attached to Trinity Fleet" He said as he went on "this is my first officer, Lieutenant Commander Miyoko Yarrington" he said pointing to her.
"Sarah Martinez Senate represenative and Senator of Earth 2." said Sarah, as she took her turn.(edited)
Yuka tilted her head over at the Major. She still had no idea who he was but he again seemed like he knew and cared about her. Who was he.
After the others had introduced themselves Yukari stands and says simply; almost as simply as Sarah responded. "Lady Yukari Solaros Commander of the Hentori Space Forces and Ambassador to the Federation." She then seated herself again her sword still at her side like always.
Hukari nodded at the group "Right then... Have you all heard of Trinity?" She asked knowing they all had but wanting to get an understanding for the people in teh room.
Gand shook his head slightly.
Dom had never formally had attended a state function at this level, it made him uncomfortable, however he wanted the fast track to command and to change the way we fight the war. He sat in silence waiting for Hukari to move the meeting forward. He shook his head in agreement to the president's question.(edited)
The major on the other hand simply nodded as a slight smile cracked onto his face.
Sarah knew of the fleet, she smiled and nodded her head yes. She tried not to look at Dom, but she wondered how his mission to the Mempa System went? She knew he went there a few days ago, and he just came back from an undisclosed area.(edited)
"Alright so... we have some new members to the Federation here... Now Trinity's mission is to be the sword and shield; sort of our final defense and act as my personal enforcers... We are looking to expand its operations... After this battle I am sure you see a need for such a thing?" She asked looking at each of the people in the room.
Gand didn't say anything but looked at the Major who simply shrugged before the fleet captain turned back to regard the president.
Yuka raises her hand. Hukari looks over at her and she then says. "Um... So; I'm off duty and it seems like this meeting is for diplomats... Why am I here?" Hukari smiles at Yuka. "Because I asked you to be." Yuka stops talking
Dom shook his head in agreement and so did Miyoko, meanwhile Sarah was listening in closely to what Hukari was saying. Dom smiled when he heard the president put Yuka in her place.(edited)
"How do you think we should expand Trintiy?" Hukari then asked the group hoping to get more out o them then just being yes-men and women.
"Beyond the obvious," said Dom, as he took a breathe. "We need to seek volunteers and think more outside of the room, people like Captain Layton, Colonel Thornton, Commander Carain are a good start. But we need more starships and commanders willing to step up and create new ideas, the type of ideas, we would never consider."(edited)
Gand shot a disapproving look at the Phoenix's "captain" at his smirk before he returned his attention to the president.
"Hence Ambassador Mika coming to us..."Yukari finally said referring to her world's visit by the Federation's Ambassador.
"Though the comment about he people in this room was a bit mouch; you have the correct idea... Adding adidtional personnel, ships and ideas to the fold is indeed the point. Thank you Lady Yukari, Captain Marteniz. So what would you all say to contributing something to the greater good then ladies and gentlemen?" Hukari said; it was not a question she was making a statement as if prodding them alll to give of themselves for the greater good.
Dom was curious how the Ambassador was going to respond, and if Yuka would speak up again. He was the junior captain in the room. She lead Trinity Fleet. Meanwhile Sarah was sitting back and listening, so was Miyoko as well.
The major leaned forward, "The alliance has six major shipyards capable of producing capital ships, plus a specialized yard for more..unique cases." He explained in a simple tone. "If that helps, ma'am?"
"Alright; but for now to expand our forces at this moment..." "You have the Iris my lady."Yukari said to her assuming she was getting at the people here proving their aligence ther.
Yuka whisled a tune in her head; this meeting seemed like id did not need her.
"Capital ships are not the only answer, we need smaller vessels like raiders, drones, fighters, mechs to fill in the gaps, the Phoenix, just recently kept a single carrier off balance, with our last mission. We destroyed the primary target and left the carrier in shambles with 200 drones." pointed out Dom, wanting to prove his point. "Capital ships are a must, but we need more ships, support vessels, cruisers, and small craft."
"More than ships though Commander we NEED quality people... We cannot fill our ships with cadets."
"We were in and out within 10 minutes, before the FSF could call for reinforcements. " Said Dom, proud of his crew. The crew luckily was well a combat experienced crew, with a new captain.
Yuka finally spoke "So what you are saying while beating around the bush is you want everyone here to serve is that it?" Hukari looked back at her scowling at the girl but she nodded.
Yuka pulls out knife; cuts throught eh politics
Miyoko shook her head in agreements to Hukari comment.(edited)
"Do we have a choice, Captain Layton?" Asked Dom. He went on looking at everyone in the room, "this was war going badly, we need all capable officers to put aside personal ambition and fight for a greater good! The President's ideals are just and sound."(edited)
Sarah debated on chiming in. But Dom had a point. She was not a soldier, she was a politician. But his point was crued and straight to the point.
"I cannot order you to do anything though Commander that is why this meeting is even happening... The same goes for everyone here." Hukari replied.
Gand shook his head, "One can point out the negatives, kid, so how about one focuses on the positives instead?" He counterpointed the younger man's "point". "We have a means of producing ships and a need for a cadre of trained officers and crew..wars are not always won in the field."
Hukari looks over at Yukari whom spoke when given permission now. "She requires a multidiciplinary force as Major Gand just stated... She wants your permission to assign you to her force... As I already said Madam President... You have our sword... It would be an honor for the crew of the Iris to serve you."
"He has a point, Commander and Madam President, this fight will be fought on several fronts, the front lines, the political arena, the individual worlds. Darius allowed his personal ambitions to think he was the universal answer to the galactic civilizations poltical issues. We need to find new officers, train them, have them join your fleet. Trinity Fleet is a good start, we need to expand on it." Chimed in Sarah.(edited)
Major Weaver couldn't help but chuckle as he looked up at the now "Major Gand"
"So thats one..." Hukari thought. Yuka smirked. "Aren't we already in Trinity..." Hukari looked over at Yukari again noticing the mistake on his rank. Yuka Hukari and the now informed Yukari all seemingly chuckling internally at Weavers comment.
"Only way to solve personal ambition is to seek ways to destroy them, the president's ideals of a perfect utopian, holding ourselves to a higher ideals is a good first step, it will limit power mungers like Darius, from ever rising to power again." Sarah suggested. She felt like the topic of the political rank was taking away from the directive of the presidents vision.(edited)
The major simply looked over at the woman and said "Do you not hear a call to arms when it is called?"
The major motioned with his left hand at the president, "She's wanting us to come together for something bigger and you bunch are arguing AWAY from the bloody point!"
Weaver then looked up at Gand, "and you wonder why I turned down being a colonel?"
Yuka sighed internally. "This is why I don't like rooms full of politicians..." She thought to herself as it seemed an argument was about to brew.
"The call of arms is part of the issue, as you said earlier, we need to look at all aspects, what is the point of Trinity, to take the fight to Darius, but what is its overall goal, to bring peace, sadly through force of arms. The President has a vision, one that could end ambition." Said Sarah.(edited)
"And a call to arms does not mean weapons... As the Kiru Ambassador said multi-diciplinary." Hukari retorted(edited)
"The Senator is right, I believe in the idea of a perfect utopian, sadly in war, everything is a weapon. Even our own ideals." Said Dom. He was not proud of that fact.(edited)
"We need to find away to convince others to volunteer to join Trinity, to see the bigger picture, we need people to put aside personal ambition and fight for something greater than their next position of power. I am open to ideas, as I am sure the president is?" Said Sarah looking around the room.
Yuka clears her throat. "K... So I get two of the people in here are talking heads but seriously; there is only room for one... Lat me translate what the Senator and Presdient are walking over each other in this room on... You the folks in this room helped fight this war; we want you to join our fleet and help us stop further war. Do you accept; Yes or no..." Yuka said matter of factly resting her head on her hand while resting her arm on the table.(edited)
The major allowed himself a smile before Gand nodded slowly, "If we didn't want in, we would not be here." The tall man said as he motioned to himself and the major. "Senator Krinn sent a small but elite task force here as proof of that."
"You can count on Earth 2, to continue to contribute people to this war, it's our hope we can change the face of the galaxy, not for ambition of power, but for the betterment of all mankind, and all species" said Sarah, allowing her political jargan style approach take over.
Hukari looks over at Dom seeming to be looking for an answer from him; his ships first mission was only a trial run. She wanted to know if he wanted to continue.
Dom noticed the president looking at him and Miyoko. He smiled but remained quiet, he had nothing more to offer, his senator was on a role! Not much more he could offer, that she had neglected to mention.
Yuka notices the staring contest. "Alright..." She stands up and goes to the middle of the table. "So Gillman says we have the support of funding and personnel from the senate. Gand says his ships will stay, Solaros says her ship is here, I'm not going anywhere... So Provy Captain and Commander?" She points at Dom. "She wants an answer."(edited)
"The Phoenix is ready to serve, my crew stands ready. We will fight the good fight. We are not going anywhere. We are ready to fight, and watch Darius fall." Said Dom as he looked to Yuka. With a cold stare now at her. It was clear, they were sizing each other up.(edited)
Hukari pats Yuka on the head. "This is why you will be such a great commander for Trinity." "Eh" "Effective August 28th 4566 you; Yuka Layton; are hereby appointed to the Office of Commanding Officer of Trinity Special Operations." Hukari says to her.
Yuka stares at her. " You're insane..." "No... You helped lead a fleet into battle, saved a planet and can coordinate these meetings better than us politicians can. I'd say that qualifies you for the job." The two make eye contact.
Dom smiled, he had hoped that Hukari was going to do this. It was part of the goal he and Sukara had planned for Yuka. Despite her ill feelings for Dom, she was a great military commander, and he would trust no one else in that role, well not at first. But he trusted Yuka. His smile was a half smirk but a 100% sincere!(edited)
The major's gloved right hand creaks as he makes a tight fist as Gand nods with approval at this. "It's a fair assessment, she didn't use any flowery words." He said, putting a voice to his approval.
"Alright then each of you will be sent your orders... You all will make the Federation most proud with your work. I'll be in touch." Hukari headed out of the room after that. Yukari nodded then got up and left herself. Yuka really needed a drink now. She hurriedly leaves before anyone could stop her heading fo the lounge.
Sarah got up and left the room, after giving a small bow. Dom and Miyoko stayed in the room.
The others had left, he looked to Miyoko.
Gand nodded and tapped the major on the shoulder while giving him a questioning look at which point the major simply nodded and headed out of the door that Yuka had used as the fleet captain left the other way.

Hikaru Ino Alister IV; Forest August 28th 4566; Late Evening
Hikaru listened to his sister, which caused him to take his hand off his weapon, and for the moment be fine with the presence of the other male. The fact that she called him the older brother did help of course ease that tension he had been feeling for a while now. When she asked if the seeker was ready to return he just nodded his head. The Mech was ready for the return flight to the Lavie, but at the same time he didn't really want to go back just yet when it was peaceful. "Spend a year in any environment and you start to get used too it. I think it took me a few months but by the second or third I stopped freezing, and was more focused on my job than I was the frigid hell that surrounded me."
By that point he had seen enough of the world to know that it would never actually get warm, and that he was going to be stuck there until the day he died. It wasn't until Kiyoko had recalled him that he had even started too think that there was an alternative possibility to dying on this planet.
"The hardest part of living here was starving. The plants that grow here are hard, tasteless and often need to be boiled. The animals that live on this world can be predatory and are as likely to eat you as you are them. If ever there was a place in this galaxy that was the front runner for the ninth circle of hell it would be this one, one star out of ten would not visit again." Hikaru shrugged and looked around for a moment.
"The Seeker is ready for departure she just needs her pilot, so you can take us back anytime you want Imoto."

Ithilwen "Wren" Aranel Shuttlebay; DFS Lavie August 28th 4566; Late Evening
She glanced at the offered hand a moment, then grinned. Believing she had it right, she gently grasped the offered hand with both of her own, and bowed until her forehead touched the woman's hand, and she straightened back up. When her skin made contact, it shifted to a soft purple hue before returning to its usual myriad of shifting colours.
"You can call me Wren. Titles aren't important to us...oh! Unless it's important to you, then it's fine." Said Wren, and she smiled at Sakura.
Allowing the woman to lead the way, the tiny Fae'lan trailed happily after her, careful not to bounce or jump too much. The gravity on this ship was different than what she was used to.

Lumi nods as she leads the way with Emily. "I guess I can help with that; I have never really done the whole party thing for something like this... I can see the use of it though so yeah; lets go." Little did she know a party was already ongoing. When they arrived in the lounge there were a number of people already mingling; from pilots to operations people and ground troops. Lumi observed the party waiting for Emily to say or do something.
Sakura had taken Wren to Hukari's quarters. The President was not currently there and her staff told Sakura that she was in a meeting for some of the Trinity command personnel and a couple of the ambassadors. The staff suggested the two of them wait and told Yukari to go to a specific room as she was needed. A short time passes (You can talk to Sakura if you want or we can just come back to the President meeting with the two of them when she comes back.

After the work finished getting Kirin stable and allowing him to work he was acting as security for the support team. he was given a simple job to make sure hothing happened to him. Once the battle was over and everyone had returned to the ship Kirin was called to an office that was just set up.
Once back on the ship kirin reports to the office that he was called to. Warrent officer Dragmawl reporting in. 'salutes'
Risa was in the office; as he entered she nodded at him. "It's been awhile Kirin... Please sit..."
"howdy mam long time no see since our last encounter on earth, how have you been"
"I'm okay; but I am here for you... So I was given information that somehow your mana being sealed inside of you for so long created a tumor... The medical reports say that they resolved the tumor and the stint is still in you to block the magic power release but still... We do not want that level of energy to build up inside of you so it happens again... I am here to help you release some of the energy and maybe release the stint a little bit to allow you to potentially release seome of your magical energy."
kirin walks up to the chair takes a seat in it and ask, "what kind of idea would you have in mind for the minor mana release so the tumor wont get worse?"
Risa stands and comes over with two purple gems. "Hold these in your hands and close your eyes; envision your power being transferred to this... While I adjust your power seal." She said as she pulled out a strange looking medical device.
kirin replys, "couldn't i have done that with the stone that i had when i got here? and what is that device called not a big fan of needles." opens his hands out in a meditation form with his palms up word
"It is not a needle; its a scanner or moreover it can configure your stint thing; people think they are just release valves but really this device can be interacted with; there is technology inside of it that interfaces with the non-physical realm... Basically with your power. As for using your own gems; yep you could have but not while your powers are sealed; You would have had to asked Yuka's permission to release yourself... Not exactly very helpful in this case... "Oh hey; im in pain and going to die can I release my powers."" She said; the last bit as if mocking someone asking such a stupid question or making such a stupid request.
"i wouldn't say such a thing it might be more on the line of mam could i release my power into the ship gem drive to supercharge it." in a joking way knowing the answer to it
Risa made the adjustments; it took her about ten minutes of tinkering with the thing aiming it at his neck. She then looked at him coming back around to face him. "Alright; try this for me close your eyes and try to put your power into the gems." "How does it feel?" "it might take some effort at first but after that it will bet easier just like using thems." (Using gems)
kirin closing his eyes concentration on the gems letting the energy flow freely thru his body into the gems, the gems start to glow starting out dim and gradually starts to get brighter the longer the mana transferred is happening, until he feels like he isnt sick or light headed anymore. kirin replys, "it looks like it worked but i am not how much of my mana i transfured into the gem and what the capacity of the gem can hold up to i know that some have a limit on them the smaller they are."(edited)
"The limit is honestly something neither you or I could ever meet... It is complciatedd but yeah basically we would have to like funnel energy into these things for thousands of years to fill them." "Any other questions for me?
"umm how often would i have to do this process and if i do manage to fill the gem should i give it to the engineer to use or keep it for a future battle like for minor things?"
"Keep the gem; as for how often; as often as you feel; your body will tell you when its full... You know how you felt like when your summons needed to come out and whatnot; its similar to that... A feeling you have."
"oh so kind of like a gut feeling but less destructive right?
"Correct. Any other questions?"
"If not go practice; outside of that you aare free to go." Risa said chcking one thing she needed to go off her list.
"not at the moment but i think i might have to go and study some magic books that are for minor usage of the mana flow instead of mass usage of it."

<START SIM> Yuka was heading to tehe lounge when she stopped outside for a moment and thought about how it was annoying that she was just given a harder job. Her life was annoying. She then went into th elounge. There was a party going on here. She purposefully sat far from the rest of the group wanting time to herself right now... She could use company but not a whole room.
Yuka ordered a drink; a long island iced tea. After getting her drink she closed her eyes leaned back into the chair in the booth she had taken and sighed in relief and contentment as she began to sip from the rather large drink.
The major followed Yuka to the lounge and debated to bother her or not but then he realized that he would have to do this sooner or later before silently moving over to Yuka's table and, while her eyes were closed, slipped into the chair directly in front of her and waited.
Yuka continued to sit there relaxed thinking she heard something from her more in tune ears. She initially ignored it that is until she took another drink and opened her eyes. She noticed the guy whom was sitting across from her; the Major from the MSA. "Oh; its you... You still have not exactly told me who you are yet you know..." She sets her drink down then teases. "If I didn't know any better I would think I have a stalker... Sorry though;I'm as one would say taken..." Yuka looked him over though seeinf if she could see his intent.
"Not so much a stalker, Yuka, that could've been me with my..date last night if you want to call it that." The major replied with a faint grin before it disappeared with a thoughtful look replacing it. "If I may it's good to see that you're doing alright."
"Uhuh... It is still nighttime... Late but you know it is night... So you trying to say something with the date comment..." She trailed off and then his comment about her doing well sort of annoyed her. "Thats like the third time you have said that... Should I know you from somewhere; who the hell are you?" She crosed her arms. (I assume he looks different though in this history she never knew Andrew except for during her childhood; they never reunited in this time as she met Emily and then Em disappeared then like two/three yeras later Yuka ended up here) DocReno - Last Sunday at 8:49 PM (yep, the Andrew in that story is kind of blonde but this one is a brunette.. different timelines) RisaXSeph - Last Sunday at 8:50 PM (and if he were not messed up by battle here he might look more like her dad) (A younger version of her dad but still)
The major undid the glove from his right hand to reveal a metallic hand before he then removed his uniform jacket. "It's alright if you don't remember me, Yuka, but let me ask you a question.." he started to say before he draped his jacket over the chair next to him before he returned his full attention to her. "Tell me, does lighting still scare you?"
(And how I thought the family structure is his mother is Andrew layton's sister; that way it makes sense that the last name changed; she married a Weaver) Yuka noticed the metal hand. She didn't say aything; it was actually starting to annoy her that he was beating around the bush. "Does..." She glared at him. "Why would I tell a stranger such things... Seriously you are a stalker or some overly obcessed fanboy aren't you... gosh... Didn't know I would attrach pervs who would stalk me so much they would know about one of my old fears... and for your information Aidan and I at the beach; him showing me the morning senset after a storm broke that... pfft..." She was about to get up and leave. She felt like something was a mis though. She stared at him some more and shook her head. By this point her father walked in. Drew came over to Yuka as he could tell she looked upset. Drew looked younger than he should have but disappearing after the fire and ending up here a few years arlier he was closer to Andrew's age then he shoudl have been.
(hes Aidan's age; he should be older then that but time travel)
The major listened to Yuka's words and was about to say something when he noticed the other man come in at which point he slowly came up to his own feet. "No bloody way..you're here too??!"(edited)
Drew saw his sisters eyes in the Major though he knew to not discount anything; after all his long feared dead daughter was alive so anything was possible. Drew found it cirous though; he was he; he knew he had something to do with his sister. "So; are you her son, grandchild?" Drew asked. Yuka stared at her father confused. "eh?"
The major let out a dark, dry chuckle. "You would know, you were there the day that I was born...uncle."
"Andrew? ... If only Hikari made it... Yuka; this is your cousin Andrew Weaver." Drew explained to his daughter. Yuka tilted her head in disbelief. She mumbled some things about Jim and people meddling with time.
The major simply looked over at Yuka and offered up an embarrassed smile. "I..I wanted to break the news to you gently, Yuka..all things considered." He offered up gently.
Yuka was curious as to why her father mentioned her mother. Then her cousin's response. Yuka shook her head. "No... It's fine... I'm sorry I was rude." Yuka said taking a bow seeking for giveness. Drew chuckled pulling her back up. "He's family there is no need for that Miss Formality..."
"Especially not with me..like you saw in that meeting, cousin, I am the last person to stand on any form of formality." The major said with a slight chuckle before he shook his head. "I did think that asking you about that the lighting would help but all it did was piss you off."
Yuka sighed. "I'm a bit touchy on my past... Julain was killed... mother is dead... Until I found dad and Em-chan I thought I was completely alone." Yuka explained. Drew nodded. "So you two... connect... and one thing I have learned here is to not discount anything... Everything is posible here... I am going to go get something to revive myself for a little before I rest; after all being the only fire supression person on board my job is quite literally never-ending." "Just like at home... always working..." "It is the life of a fireman dear Yuka." Yuka shook her head as her dad headed off.
The major couldn't help but chuckle again before turning to face Yuka. "So..want to play catch up?" He asked with a faint smile on his face as he motioned to the chairs.
"Er... Well... Why not... I still have this drink to finish...." Yuka said seeating herself again and returning to the alcohol. She was staring right at him though. A memory of the boy appearing in her mind very vividly of the lightning he had mentioend. "What happened to... Your; everything?" She asked as he looked very different.
The major sat down again himself, "If you're wanting to know how I got here, your guess is as good as mine." He said with a slight shake of his head. "I have been here long enough to make waves in the alliance." A waiter came over and he simply order a pint of bitter before turning back to Yuka. "Or were you asking about my hand?"
"Everything." Yuka said simply.
The major nodded slowly. "Well after you and your parents supposedly dead in the fire, the rest of the family just kind of..went odd." He started to explain with a faint shake of his head. "I went to college, got my degrees and then wound up here."
"Now by wound up here you mean sorta like me in just like... woke up in this fucked up place..." "Emily got all tortured and stuff... I was lucky to have been found by civilian EMTs." "Then I got debriefed by TSS field officers and their team transferred me to a reintegration facility... I still think Earth is a dystopia..."
He nodded in agreement, "I guess that I am kind of lucky since I woke up somewhere in the headlands of Northwind by a recon unit on excercises."
"Yeah; I mean a recuirter stalked me and acted like my friend once I got moved out of the hopsital of sorts and I was moved into an apartment; they were um... well they thought something about me was different and... Jim Olend the bastard had everything to do with it... I suspect he convinced the scientists to toy with Emily too... Why can't we just go and break his arms and legs again..."
The major accepted the pint mug before the waitress headed off. "Be thankful that you didn't have my life here, Yuka." He said before taking a pull. "I was apart of the sector forces for the Manticore system..fought my way up the ranks before...well.." he started before he set the mug down to pull the sleeve up his right arm to reveal that his entire arm was metallic. "So do you want to ask the usual question?" He mused
"Er... I don't care that you lost an arm... it is like my eye... They did fix it though so I take it your arm was by choice otherwise they would have replaced it..." As she spoke of her eye she put her hand over it and opened and closed her fingers in front of her eye
He couldn't help but chuckle, "Sorry it's just I get the usual question of why don't I just have it regrown or something like that, Yuka." He said before noticing what she was doing, "Ah, the family with missing parts stays together?"
"We were not diabled at birth but I guess so... Missing eye and missing arm, father missing his wife... This whole crew is broken though... its a broken heram... since like half the girls on this ship which are most of the crew all want a peice of Aidan... At least from how they act around him... Except Sakura... and the Ino girl but then again I consider the Ino twins an exception to the rule rather than something to include in that."
The major nodded, "Fair enough, so why isn't anyone after this Sakura girl?"
"Shes attached at the hip of the chief of intel... Though I would guess if someone wanted her she would openly sleep with them... She is too permiscous for her own good ya know..."
"Maybe or maybe she's finally with that one guy?" The major offered up before taking another pull from his mug. "So.. anyone special in your life??"
"I thought that was something to say when I said everybody has the hots for Aidan... Er... the Lavie's XO... he's my fiance along with Emily...."
His eyes widened just a little bit before asking, "Congratulations and how does that work?"
"Er well the whole process. We each commit to each other... As for the relationship itself; its complicated cause like I'm super into Emily and Aidan and am with the both of them a lot but their relationship is a little less... Developed."
Andrew nodded, "Why is that?"
"Er... Shes not exactly into guys... he is the first shes ever been with... Plus... I kind of made... her... do it..." Yuka seemed pained when she said that but she would be lying if she said she did not feel that way and as much as they talked about it she still felt that way.
Andrew studied her for a moment, his dark eyes studying her face before asking "and how much does this Emily love you?"
"You mean you dont know Emily; I assumed when you asked me if I was the Yuka who was with her that you knew her?"
"Work with me here, Yuka."
"... I was planning on killing myself... I felt like life was not woth it anymore; until I met her... She pulled me through and we were going to propose but... She disappeared."
Andrew nodded and then motioned for her to continue.
"When she disappeared I just sort of gave up on love and finished uni... after school I applied for grad school but then I ended up here...I met a cool girl who was epic but she transferred assignments; I still don't know why... then I met one guy whom is a giant robot reptile thing; he and I got together; but I thought there was love there he saw me as a mate; not a wife or anything... Aidan consoled me and then... We got closer especially after that guy left me. he and I got into the swing of things then Emily came back to me."
Andrew nodded as he waited for her to continue.
"That leads us to here... Well that is my relationship history; my stuff with this ship... Well RINZ and I were being hunted by FSF soldiers who wanted to voertake the galaxy. The Lavie rescued us... That is really how the current conflict started; it drew their galactic conquest plans into the open. Julian was killed in a battle after we recovered a station from an FSF strike team but all that happened as I was made Captain; for the time I was not Captain I just eh... You know saved the world... Anything you wanna ask me?" Yuka drinks more of her tea.
Andrew ran his metal hand through his hair, "I meant with Emily, how did she come back into the picture?"
"She was assigned to the Lavie as an intel officer... She and I reunited and I felt guilty; so I told her about Aidan and I. Shhe thought I was rejecting her but I told her no and took her to Aidan to talk; he assumed I was oging to tell him I cheated on him wit her and that I did not want to be with him anymore... That lead into a massive argument... And me being my... lovely emo self..." "One thing led to another... literally... and They made a plan to have a three way relationship... I thought they were going to cheat on me with each other... I seriously am an idiot ya know..." She laughed at herself
Andrew shook his head, "You're not an idiot, Yuka, but what do have is two people that love you enough that they are willing to go outside of their comfort zone to be with you." he explained in a warm tone, "makes me envious actually."
"I'm a... hey... thats mean! You say your little cousin is stupid...." She acts hurt but then smiles. "Heh... There are still some pretty good people here or if you want to have me help get you hooked up.... Little Yuka-chan can help..." She teased.
Andrew couldn't help but chuckle at that, "Maybe one day, but right now we're talking more about you." He said with a hint of a smile.
"But I want you to talk about you now... Other then what I have said things were pretty dull..." She replied; she didn't want to talk about any of the stuff that happened with Julian and consdered anything that was not action packed or related to Emily, Aidan or her friends as dull and not worth mentioning.
"Alrighty, but we are coming back to this alright?" He pointed out.
"Coming back to what... Em and Aidan are um... covered alrady unless there is something specific?"
"These people make you happy, you don't think that I can't see how your eyes light up when you mention their names or that quiver in your voice?" He said gently and warmly. "You have become the lovely young woman, Yuka."
Yuka tilts her head. "Then whats the problem if I wanna help you find love too... It is fun..." She finishes the rest fo her tea as a server comes and replaces it with more.
"Nothing, I just can't find anything stable that's all." Andrew explained as he took another pull from his mug
"Well... Lets go find you someone dear cousin... Thinking of it now I remember that lightning storm... You helped me so you deserve me to repay the favor by helping you with something... This..." Yuka said as she continued to drink.
Andrew then smiled softly at her, "I'm family, it all part of the service " he said warmly. "..and thank you."
Yuka smiled at him again nodding. "Yeah; so you wanna talk more later about you cause you don't seem too prepared... I just wing most of what I do honestly."
"It's not that I'm prepared, I just don't think that I can meet anyone that's willing to be with a.." he started to explain before motioning at his right arm. "a half man if you will?"
"Half man... What do you mean?
"A lot of women tend to do the whole pity thing when they see my arm, Yuka." Andrew explained. "none take being with me serious." He then let out a dry chuckle, "Some of the women in this era really are prima donnas." RisaXSeph - Yesterday at 10:51 AM "You saying that about me eh?" Yuka said winking in a manner that was a mock insulted. "And look; if somebody has a problem with you cause of the whole ar m thing send them to me... I'll set 'em straight... You know they'll wish they only lost an eye..."
Andrew sighed and shook his head, "There was this one girl that I was interested in, Yuka, and I mean like I believe she was the closest thing to a real crush that I had in this era...and she didn't want to be with someone like me with the whole arm thing, she was fine with everything else BUT the arm."
“ i’m sorry but you know you can’t just let that type of thing you know direct your life. I almost killed myself because I lost Julian... Then I met Emily... you’ll find someone and they’ll be miles ahead of that girl that’s definitely for sure.” She replied trying to console him
Andrew listened to Yuka's words and nodded, "It hasn't directed my life but after that I just kind of gave up on romantic things and focused on my career." He explained before motioning at his rank tabs. "Major at my age and one of the senior officers within the entire MACO command structure, not bad eh?" Even though he sounded sure and confident, there was no mistakening the fact that his lack of a someone special in his life had made him a little.. hesitant about the whole idea after what might have been years since his last relationship of any sort.
"We will have to fix that... You don't give up on romance just because you are disabled and besides that arm still gives you full function... There is NOTHING wrong with you... Anyone who says there is well; is someone who is not worth your time... And Captain commanding basically a fleet... You should be impressed with your little cousin... Heh." Yuka wanted to help him an dso she figured she should keep an eye on him to make sure he didn't go down the road she did.
"I am proud, extremely...I was about to hit that one guy for smirking at you during the meeting." Andrew said as he recalled Dom's actions.
"... I was trying to tell him how do do things right but he just took my advice and spit in my face... Now he'll likely not do any better then he has; career over friends... sad..." Yuka said finishing her second tea then deciding she needed to stop with drinking.
"Well he was smirking when you were told that you couldn't leave the meeting." Andrew said as he had to fight hitting the smug man with his bionic hand. "Does that entire bunch really have such a high opinion of themselves??"
"The President... Er... I'm basically the head of her elite guard; I would expect she not allow me to leave something that important but the others... Yeah some of the fleet level people are super smug... That Yukari girl just seems like its part of her job to be like that; nobility and all arastoricies... Heh... Anyway you should go do something if you plan to go out and search for people before long so you don't get stuck with nothing..." Yuka sai dattempting to encourage him to go out and search for fish.
Andrew shook his head, "I actually meant that bunch with the Phoenix, Yuka, that whole group seemed to be in complete denial about a few things." He said by way of an explanation. "They were trying to make it sound like we're going to make a forced utopian confederation or some shit like that."
"Well there are some who believe that Earth is a utopia... Personally the whole "You are a good citizen; we will provide you anything; don't think about it" seems a bit suspicous to me... a bit dystopia... There is a difference between peace and keeping society docile."
Andrew nodded, "Earth is not a utopia and I try to avoid it like the plague since the last time that I was there but that Phoenix bunch is trying to sell something that I know Dylan isn't going to buy into." He explained
"They believe in the political idealigy that the President's interior ministry toats... Hukari... Wants to have galactic peace but realizes that even in this pease some armarment is nessecary. Si vis pacem, para bellum."
"One such example of this; I read this world's history in the one month I was in Delta Force's basic academy... In the 31st century the UFA government completely shut down all military services believing such disarmorment would stop war entirely." "They were wrong."
Andrew nodded in agreement, "I know, stupid isn't?" He quipped before flexing his hand.
"And that is why the Federation Constitution allbeit peace wanting it still has provisions for a permanent security foce... And Lady Hukari created Trinity so she always has a defensive force. it makes sense..." "In both of our cases though... palma non sine pulvere" "Anyway I'm gunna go but you should... You know... Go do something fun... enjoy yourself.... Feel the sand beneath or feet or whatever..." She stood and gave her cousin a kiss on the cheek. "Always remember if someone won't accept you as you are then they are not worth your time; its something I have been trying to teach myself for awhile now; use it... Maybe it will help you more than it has me." She pokes him on the forehead then heads off walking toward the door slowly.

It was the day after the planet had been liberated and several groups of MSA security forces were backing up Federal medical and engineering teams with trying to get some of the planet's services back up and running.
Aidan was in a prefab building that was now his make-shift office on the planet. Paperwork never stopped, it was all just paperless. He moved to the constantly going coffee maker. Refilling his mug, he added a splash of cream and took a long pull as he reading the next ten items in his inbox.
Major Weaver walked through the assorted buildings until he came across one in particular and ducked into it, the bionic MACO caught sight of the subject of his search "Colonel Thronton?" He asked.
"Thornton", Aidan corrected, not looking up from the paperwork. "What can I help you with?"
"Major Andrew Weaver, head of the Alliance's MACO forces..was curious if you wanted to get out of here and grab some coffee." Andrew said before motioning at the paperwork, "Or would you rather be bored to tears?"
Aidan chuckled. "Okay Major Weaver. Bored to tears about what? I can be bored right here." He indicated the large coffeemaker. "Help yourself. But I could use a walk or some food. Again, what can I help you with?"
"Well for one if our respective groups are going to be working together, I thought I might get to know my opposite number a little bit better." Andrew said as he went over and grabbed a cup of coffee. "Even though I keep turning down the rank, you and I are technically the same pay grade..I just refuse the rank and title so that I can stay in the field."
"I get that. But then I seem to always find my way to the front, one way or another. Hard to lead from the back." AIdan quipped.
"So I am handing all of this off to you or do you have an ulterior motive for seeing me?" Thornton asked Weaver.
"True, which is one of the reasons why I haven't taken the rank yet." Andrew said as he took a sip from his cup. "You seem to have a much more professional head on your shoulders unlike the ponce that I met last night that commands the Phoenix."
Aidan stifled a laugh at that. "He's an Eagle." ( Old military term for someone after the rank no matter what). "Whether that Eagle flies" Aidan shrugged."This is my career. The rank is nice, but to be honest, I don't care if I go up too much farther. Like you I need to be at least close to the action. Not flying a desk."
Andrew nodded, "I just love the Eagles, don't you?" he snorted back a laugh before taking another sip of coffee. "Come on, let's grab a bite and some real coffee...this stuff will make you blind I think."
"Who said that?" Aidan laughing at his own joke. "Let's go find something palatable. Has to be a few local places nearby or do we risk the mess hall?" Aidan asked.
"Up to you, I am good either way." Andrew admitted.
"Local. I am up for a little variety I think." Aidan picked a direction while asking his VX for local restaurants.
Andrew nodded as he finished off his coffee as he followed Aidan out of the prefab and onto the city's streets.
The two talked small talk as they walked with purpose. A small brick building with smoke coming out the back came into view down the street. The smell of something like mesquite filled Aidan's nose. "That place. I can smell the awesome from here." His VX said it was called, 'The Spicy Smith'. You game Weaver?"
"Sure, just don't eat a hole in my credit line..got a feeling that I may have to support my cousin's wedding in the future." Andrew said with a faint grin.
"Ya know I don't think I have paid for more than 3 meals after a liberation." They walked in and the place grew dead quiet. A few seconds later, they were greeted warmly by several patrons and the owner. "Sit sit." The small black woman said. I'll get you menus."
"They try but every little things helps people get back on their feet." Andrew said as he removed his jacket to drape on the back of his chair, revealing his metal hand to Aiden's view.
"I'm not judging, but any reason you haven't had that hand regrown. You have a bat signal in there or something?"
Andrew held up his hand and flexed it. "This has been apart of me since the last war, gave it up to save a friend..so, no the thought actually has come to my mind." He said in an honest tone before undoing the cuff long enough to reveal the entire arm was the same way.
Aidan shrugged. "I can see where it could have advantages The little woman was back with menus. Selections of local smoked meats and normal bbq sides. They prided themselves on several local jerked versions. Hot spiced meats.
Andrew nodded as he started to look over the menus. "Perhaps..maybe a little." He said with a faint smile crossing his face.
"I'm gonna let you decide, little mama at least for me. Something hot. Hotter the better. Some greens if you have them and a side." Aidan said.
Andrew picked something that resembled a combo platter of different meats. "And spicy please, if it can melt metal the better." He offered up with a smile to the owner.
"So. Now what? I don't know how long the Lavie is going to be in orbit. Could be a few days, could be hours, could be weeks,though unlikely. The transition is the most important part now." Aidan said.
Andrew nodded, "I know that a couple of Alliance ships are going to be assigned here which includes one of our heavy destroyers and a strike carrier at least." He said, remembering the briefing from earlier."If that helps?"
"Some. From what I understand one of the reasons that big bastard, the Providence is here is that she carries an industrial replicator on-board. So we should be able to get these people some relief pronto. At least until more supplies arrive."
Andrew nodded as he ran a hand over his chin. "So after the our respective ships leave here then everything will be covered." He offered up in a hopeful tone.
"We aren't leaving anyone out in the cold. It'd be too tempting a target to just come back.So it'll be a staggered pullout is my guess, but that's all up to the President" Aidan offered. Aidan VX'd his location to his own troops while pulling up Major Weaver's file. Nothing came back that raised Aidan's concern.
The platters arrive. Weaver's has an assortment of something resembling chicken wings, but larger, sliced meats in a green sauce, and some ribs. Aidan's is a thick roll filled with over 3 inches of sliced meats, a small avalanche of cooked collard greens or similar, and a side of potato salad. She brough a pitcher of sweet tea and two milkshakes.
"You keep this up, I'm stealing you for my camp." Aidan quipped which made the small woman smile.
Andrew bowed his head respectfully towards the little woman as he accepted his platter from her.
Aidan sampled the greens and added a bit of salt. He bit into sandwich and some extra sauce dribbled down his chin. He chewed the bite and the heat rose to his face. Nothing he couldn't handle yet. Felt good. He knew why she added the milkshakes. In case it was too much for them. "So any plans I need to be aware of or you need help with?"
Andrew tried some of his and let out a very happy sound as he crunched meat and peppers under his teeth which only served to increase the heat even more. "Well of course there is more...Aiden." he said with arched grin. "So may I ask you a personal question?"
Aidan was thoughtful for a short moment. "Sure, why not."
Andrew's look became a little guarded and thoughtful. "So what do you think of Commodore Layton?"
Aidan chewed through another bite of his large sandwich. "Loaded question. Honestly. She, like any Captain, has innate ability. I have seen her do some amazing things. She also has some shortcomings again, like any Captain, which I do my best to minimize. Why do you ask?"
Andrew studied the other man, "What do you think of her as a person, screw the ranks and what not and tell me from the heart.." Andrew said before taking another bite of his own food. "If I am going to be fighting under her command at some points from now on, I'd like to know what you think."
"She'll always have your back. Not a quitter. She can be.....temperamental sometimes, but I've never seen it happen in non-personal matters. My advice, don't judge the book by it's cover. She looks like she just got out of college.....looks are deceiving. You want her in your corner and you can trust her." Andrew sighed before fixing the other man with a serious look. "I am asking you about the woman, not the person sitting in the center chair..what are *YOUR* personal thoughts on her?" He asked simply, getting to the point. "Is she a good person, do you care about her...that sort of thing."
"Oh...do I care about her? That is a different question. Yes, she is a good person. She likes to save everyone. Which to me is a bit misguided, but not a horrible trait. Yes, I care about her. We're involved." Aidan said finally.
Andrew nodded, watching and gauging Aiden's reactions. "So what kind of person is she and what did you mean by she wants to save everyone??"
(two a's no e) "You have to realize she isn't from this century. Part of the whole time rip caused by overpowered idiots. When I first came aboard, I saw her and thought, I am so screwed. This is a child controlling a starship. To be honest, at times she is. But she also has a maturity not found in many people. She's caring, thoughtful, and ....flaky. I trust her with my life. Every day. Without question. As a 20+ year combat vet, that should tell you all you need to know about who she is. Otherwise, I don't get what you're asking." Aidan offered. Then added, "She also knows more about many parts of this universe even I don't. Which also says alot. A resource you should not take for granted."
Inwardly Andrew was shaking his head, "What are your intentions towards her if I may...when you say that you are with her are you willing to stand by her and her missus?" He asked simply, testing his reaction.
Aidan started to change color. "Just what the fuck are trying NOT to say." He kept his tone even, but it was pretty clear he was getting mad.
Andrew finally allowed himself to smile, "I take it that my uncle didn't do this with you?" He asked simply as his smiled disappeared just as quickly. "You know, the time honored tradition of gauging someone marrying into your family?"
If anything, Aidan got redder. "In the future, don't do that again. You have something to say, say it. To my face. Pretty shitty way to interrogate someone. In the guise of camaraderie." He put down his food.
Andrew held up his hands as a way of apology, "Actually it was a mixture of both..I will freely admit that I could have handled that part better.." he said as he lowered his hands. "I guess two thousand years later, I am still trying to look out for her "
His color started to fade, but the mood lingered. "Ya think?" Aidan attacked the pile of greens and snagged some potato salad. "Look, I was married. My ex-wife cheated on me, more than once. I found that pain in ass cousin of yours near perfect, though she can be a flaky damned mess. I love her. Satisfied?" The tone was more aggravated but he was venting.
Andrew nodded, "Yeah but can you understand something from my point of view ,Aidan?" He said as he looked at the other man evenly. "I think that she may have mentioned the fire that killed her mom and that her dad was thought to have died in?"
"She did, and somehow he's here, So are you. While I am glad the universe threw her into my path, I didn't think the whole family came over in the rip. It's not a bad thing, mind you. Just odd." The Marine added
Andrew nodded, "I spent the next couple of decades thinking that she was dead too after the fire, imagine my surprise when three years after I wound up here to hear rumors of a kid in command of a starship matching my dead cousin's description?"
By then Aidan had finished the sandwich, greens and had a few bites of salad left. He thoughtfully sucked on the milkshake. "I am glad to know she isn't as alone as she thought she was. Does she know you're here?"
Andrew nodded, "Yeah..why else do you think that I would ask those questions?" He continued eating as well, as he enjoyed the heat that was hitting his tongue. "It was funny, Dylan was trying to get me to talk to her while he was having issues with his problem."
"Who is Dylan?" The small woman was back, checking on them. "No little mama. I am very fully and very happy. I think we'd like the check now." She disappeared to get the order completed.
"Fleet Captain Dylan Gand, the head of the alliance forces in system and my immediate superior." He explained as he finished off his food.
Realization dawned on him. "Didn't know the first name." Aidan took the check and filled out a tip that dwarfed the meal by an order of magnitude. "You deserve it little Mama. He also scribbled a personal contact email. "You need anything. You let me know. Food this good is hard to make, and I believe in rewarding hard work." The woman tried to give it back, Aidan refused and threatened to double it. "Feed the poor, buy a vacation. It's yours little mama." "So did you have business to discuss or are we done here?" Aidan asked.
"For the most part done with the family stuff, that can wait a while." Andrew said with a faint grin as he also left a sizeable tip behind as well. "Did have a question concerning this Emily that Yuka mentioned however that has got Dylan all a tizzy."
"What about her?" He wasn't tipping his hand just yet after the previous session.
"Aside from being a superior officer, he is a friend of mine and he recently found out that he is Emily's nephew..two or three generations separated." Andrew explained as he slipped back into his field jacket. "He..is curious about her for one."
"Only two or three generations.Interesting." He drained the last of the shake. "It wasn't my idea, but Emily, Yuka and I intend to get married." He waited for the shock. "In face, I almost left Yuka over it." Aidan added.
"Well it's hard to be exact since a lot of records on his family was lost after one of the wars, but what little his was able to get from Earth was that much." Andrew explained with a nod. "And yet that Quartermaine family trait that Dylan is renowned for came through in his super great aunt??
"Well, tell Dylan and yourself, I love them both. It's an interesting situation, but I am adjusting to it. Emily and I were coerced into this. If you know Yuka, you know how she is. Emily and I friends first and I care for her very much"
Andrew nodded, "Truth be told, the last time I saw Yuka she had pig tails and was wearing a Sailor Moon shirt with a stuffed animal of some sort." He explained before he stopped in his tracks with a depressed look on his face. "I think she was...four or five?"
"Then it's time to fix that. Plus it will make up for your behavior today. I think she thinks she's alone for some reason. It'll help everyone. Go see her." Aidan said plainly.
"We actually talked for a while last night, Aidan." He said, trying to shake his mind of the painful memories. "She is more interested in me finding someone, kind of did after talking to her."
"Sounds just like her. My opinion. Run." He said jokingly. "Save yourself." He added more softly. "Then again. Yuka is now my reason to get up in the morning." He shruggged.
Andrew nodded as he thought back to the dark haired Japanese girl that he woke up next to. "Tell me about it, I met a really cute one last night... don't know about my chances yet though."
"Congrats and good luck. Gotta grab love where you can find it; Soldier's life is rough on marriage. But with Em and Yuka, I think we have it figured out. Mostly."
"Cool, with any luck Dylan can walk Emily down the asile one day at least." Andrew admitted with a wry grin.
"Yeah....not sure exactly how that is going to work yet. Yuka had to practically fight me to take Emily at face value. I don't share my woman. That took some time to work out. That right there proves I love her. What guy turns down a threesome?"
Andrew nodded before he stopped and placed a hand behind his right ear. "Yes sir?"
Aidan knew Weaver was getting a call.
Andrew nodded at the silent call before he looked up into the sky to see a swirling gateway open up and a large starship appear. "I was wondering when she was going to be allowed out."
Aidan wanted to say, "What are you talking about. He noticed the gate appearance." Nothing the convoy couldn't handle if it was hostile, he thought to himself.
Andrew motioned at the ship's outline, "That's the Red October, she's one of two ships of her class and was being kept in reserve in case things did go wrong during the battle." He explained before turning to look at Aidan. "It's like a mobile assault platform..but instead of fighters, it carries specialized strike frigates."
"I don't know what a strike frigate is, but good. I'll usually take more instead of less in the way of firepower."
Andrew let out a chuckle, "Fair enough, but if the October has been called in then I am possibily going to need to head back to the Challenger for a meeting or some such." He explained before giving Aidan a serious look. "In case you haven't heard this before, Aidan, you're a good man..the right kind of guy for Yuka."
"Thanks. I'll let you get back to work. If you don't come see Yuka soon....I'll be removing that arm and beating you with it. Got it?" Aidan offered.
"I just got her back, do you think that I am just going to let her go?" Andrew asked with a slight smile.
Aidan held out his hand. "See you soon Major"
"Colonel, good luck." Andrew said with a smile as he shook Aidan's hand.

Yuka had left her office after meeting with Risa following the meeting with Andrew in the lounge. She wondered what she should do for the rest of the night as Aidan and she had been together. Seph had been drinking a bit and had decided to head to engineering. She was tinkering in Scott's lab on this strange... It looked like a pop up tent; it was actually some kind of containment field. Nobody knew what it actually did anyway. Sakura and Lumi were in the lounge still enjoying the party that had started without Emily M knowing even though she wanted a party (TAG Emily M)
Scott is in the bunker working on a proof of concept for his ship, he made Tardis tent (its bigger on the inside)
Seph finished her testing of it and it popped up; its interrior was now expanded.
Seph this is probly insane to make this tent
Yuka wondered if she should go back to the party, go see Em or Aidan or go hide somewhere and read.
Niklas pushed a pallet of parts that just arrived from the supply depot. He was eager to get a start on his new body.
Dylan Gand stepped into the lounge after the meeting, his uniform jacket slung over one broad shoulder as he enjoyed the fact of how easy everyone seemed to be enjoying the victory.
Erik was in the corner at table. Decompressing after combat operations was new to him. He held a simulated whiskey. He even had Niklas program in the effects, though he could turn it off.
Dylan noticed Yuka and nodded to her but otherwise respected her need to be alone after the meeting.
Sarah being prepared to leave with Cole had wandered to the cargo hold looking for her bags not knowing they were already loaded into a shuttle had began searching through containers. She found a human sized cargo container. She shrugs and knocks on the container. It was like some metal that looked like it was a few thousand years old. She in banging the box broke a... was it dirt or rust or something... Well there was a logo she had never seen on the box. "Hum..." She pulled out a tool from her belt and started to cut the box. "Why would they put peoples supplies in this thing..." Yuka looked over at Dylan and nodded back at him. "Evening... or would it be well no... hum... yeah good evening... Hey..." She had a thought and VX'ed Aidan to wake him up. "The crew started some like post-battle party; you probably should get up and come enjoy yourself you know." She then called medical and Petell answered "You should have Emily wheeled down to the lounge she needs some R and R." Petell scoffed over the comm "Captain are you insane... Well I guess I could allow it if you ensure she stays down..." "Yeah yeah... It will be fine... trust me Doc..." he shakes his head repeatedly.
Dylan looked around and headed to one corner of the lounge and sat down to people watch.
A nurse came in to Emily's private room in medical. "Ma'am do you think you are doing well enough for a short scroll around the ship?"
"Yeah yeah." he said aloud, then replied to her text."Be there shortly." He grabbed a quick rinse and changed into a short sleeve sweatshirt, tucking the compact custom pistol with gem grips into an in the waistband holster. He pulled the shirt over and checked his appearance. Spotless. As an afterthought, he took his pipe and headed to the lounge after slipping into sneakers.
Upon him getting half way there Yuka seemingly appeared out of nowhere. She walked up to him. "Hey... The crew started a little party..." She said putting her hands in her hoodie pockets.
seph what do have we done to this universe with all our creations
"... Our creations have made the universe a better place... Just like all the evil ex-senators I have killed." Seph replied to Scott as she laughed.
like my getting the horny ship ai a human body
"Then there is all the marine ass I have busted for not listening..." "That is most def making the world a better place." "Lumi... She needs more horny in her life..." Seph said as she enjoyed another drink.
"yes she does" Scott replied
Emily looked at the nurse and gave her a smile. "Aye, I definitely could."
"If you get too tired let me know and we can come back." She said as she helped Emily to a wheelchair.
seph lets activate the ai itc gave me
Emily waved off the wheelchair, "I need to use my own legs.. please."
Sarah continues to cut the box realizing there was only a lock keeping it sealed and so she cuts the lock. She opens the rusty box seeing... It looked like a rusted old android. "Hum... This is not.... bags..." One of the logistics people comes in doing his rounds and sees she opened this. "The fuck..." He sighs. "Powell to security I need a security team to my location..." Sarah noticed the guy and shrugged. "I was looking for my bag." "You mean the one which is in a shuttle packed up?" "Seriously?" "yes... "Seriously"" He said with a scowl putting his hands on his hips sighing. Meanwhile in medical the nurse moved the chair out of the way and helped her up if needed.
Emily closed her eyes and took a deep breath before pulling herself to her feet, enjoying the feeling of her feet on the deck again after a few days. She started to sway just a little bit which was common for those in her condition but she managed to right herself and slowly took a few steps forward.
A security team came over to the cargo bay and secured the box. They then took Sarah back to the duty officers office to rip into her a bit. The officer of the watch in security calls Yuka and Aidan asking them to requesting they come to the cargo bay.
Just as he arrived, Aidan hears the call for from Security. He sees Yuka and says, "you up for this? I can probably handle it."
seph are the quarantine functions for the bunker computers still working?
As Emily almost fell the Nurse extended out her hands to help steady her if she needed. "Are you alright to continue; let's try a few steps... Good... Are you up to go?" She asked.
Seph nodded. "Everything is all good and this tent is good. Yuka heads to the cargo bay sighing hoping Aidan came with her; why did duty always fuck up her plans.
damn right this type of gem could make the olympus project happen
Aidan walks in stride with Yuka, putting on the XO face. "At I got you babe."
lets plug in the ai seph
Emily nodded, "Yeah..I could use a stop by the lounge if that's alright?"
"I wonder why we are needed though..." Yuka said as they arrive. Security was waiting for them and upon arrival. "captain we have found a strange object in the bay; one of the SAD Officers on the ship found it." Yuka follows the security officer to the box. She sees the old android. "Okay... it has no bombs or anything?" "Correct madam Captain... Instructions." "Call engineering... Why were we even bothered for this..."
Seph after finishing all her other work was drinking and then when Scott told her to plug the AI program in she did so. "Lets see if this damn thing works.."
The nurse lets Emily lead the way to the lounge. Security calls engineering and arranges with Ensign Kobler to teleport the android to the engineering machinery lab.
Emily walked slowly and carefully to the lounge, slowly getting her "sea legs" back as it were until she was hardly using the wall to help keep her steady every so often.
The Ensign comes into Scotts lab "Sir we had a strange android sent in; it is in the robotics lab." "Would you like me to bring it here?" he asked Scott
The AI boots up, a bunch of what would probably seem like archaic code scrolls on the screen very quickly before an AI interface shows up on the screen with what looks like just a simple red LED circle. There was nothing for a moment, the LED seemed to glow with an ambience. She realizes she is no longer in her normal body as she cant see anything and can sense very little if any at all. She feels like shes in some kind of void. "...Wha... where...where am I?" the AI said. The AI had a female asian type voice and seemed very disoriented. It has been a very long time since she was activated, literally thousands of years.
bring me the drive the ai is on Scott recieves a random email from itc and decides to open the email
"Odd...why would an android require it to be taken here. I don't like this." Aidan said to Yuka.
the email sends another ai into the bunkers secure partition
The ensign brings a a team of engineers into the lab and they try to open the robot. They cant. The team calls communications to see if anyone can assist with this. communications sends a message to both the chief of operations and chief of robotics to have them come to the engineering lab.
alongside the recently activated ai
Lumi interested but also uninterested in the party decided to head to the lab. She arrives in engineering humming a song as she was sort of drunk. She goes into the lab and stares at the android searching through her database before even touching the damn thing.
The AI check's its internal time/date system and realizes literally thousands of years passed by. "...What....its 4566!?" the AI exclaimed. The realization soon dawns on her that her companion cannot possibly be alive with so much time going by. But soon feels a presence with her. As the other AI came online it too spoke. "Onyx...?" the other AI said. This voice was male. She instantly recognized it. "...Scotty? My owner Scotty? Is that really you?" Onyx asked.
Erik sees Lumi leave. "So much for me being important" He drains the glass and goes offline.
Lumi after searching through the database she calls Nik; this would be something he had to see. A 2500 year old robot would be an interesting study. The Ensign then says to her. "Lt. The Chief wants this things hard drive." "Can we have the body?" "I dono..." "Would be such an interesting study... Eh... Well time to open it up... then we can play with robots!!!" She knowing the specs from the Skynet database opens it up pretty easily and pulls the drive out removing it then handing it to the Ensign. "This AI should be an interesting find; some kind of sentient car AI from the skynet wars..." She explained to the Engineer whom shrugged not knowing what that meant. Lumi finds more information... She calls Gainz "Do you know of a Vanilla... These records say you do... I wonder though... This AI... Hum...." Lumi sends Erik some information on this new AI. The ensign brings the drive to Scott. "Sir here is he drive."
Niklas walks in and in a commanding voice yells "STOP!"
Scott plugs the drive into the partition with the other ais
The engineers watching Lumi work look over at Nik.
He waits for everyone to turn a look. "Take a look at your behavior. This might be sentient. You can't just dismantle it like some unwanted Christmas toy.
"Yes its me..." the Scott AI answered. "Oh my god....It is really you...how... How is this possible that you are like me? You were human." Onyx asked. "It's... a long story...I'm just glad you still exist." the Scott AI answered. "Me too.." Onyx said relieved. The AI's stopped talking out loud, seemingly going into a deeper state of connection.
As soon as Gainz got the call he instantly teleported over to Lumi without hesitation. "What about Vanilla?" Gainz asked
"Security protocols sir; we have ensure its safe before activating it unless you wan tot take responsibility for its activiation if it kills everyone." One of the engineers says to Nik.
"This..." Lumi points to the android body tlaking to Gainz
"That doesn't mean take it apart first! What if you geniuses damage something and it can no longer be functional or fixed?!" "Ever thought of a force field and a tricorder?"
"I know how to fix that if that happens." Lumi said to Nik "On eof the databases found on Earth in the Skynet computer core refers to this specific model." Lumi replied
"...." Gainz paused for a moment staring at her. He instantly knew who she was. It was like getting hit with a vietnam flashback, an immense amount of feelings surged in him from his past. "I'll be...god damned..." Gainz simply said.
Scott hearing a yell outside the bunker comes out and askes what the hell was the yelling
"Concerns about disassembly of the unknown android sir." One of the engineers replied.
"Is she...is she still alive?" Gainz asked
The order was made by me to protect the ship and analyze the ai
"What does the database tell you about this model before we go further?" Niklas asks Lumi.
"Unknown thats why I assume anyway Scott wants to check her AI." Lumi replied to Gainz and then replied to Nik. "She is the sentient AI of a car form the looks of it..."
Yes the ai is in with a couple of ais that itc sent me
"It is indeed Vanilla...I would recognize her anywhere... How in the hell did she end up here?" Gainz asked.
"An aircar? Why would a 1000 year old vehicle needs to be sentient."
The skynet wars were over 2500 years ago
"that container was from the old ship from Mr. Neliis..." Lumi explained to Gainz then she shrugged at Nik's statement. She did not know how to respond to that.
"Neliis...who is this guy?" Gainz asked. He seemed quite interested.
Niklas wonders silently why he was even called for what amounts to a glorified talking toaster on wheels.
Scott heads back into the bunker and checks the console for the ais Scott pokes his head out and says come on in lets see about this new ai
The 2 AIs in the other room seemed to be linked together communicating on a deeper level. They cant really sense anything outside of their housing but they can sense eachother.
"its history..." Lumi said to Nik seemingly happy. "We need to study the past to know how to do better in the future."
Niklas pulls out a tricorder with a snap of his wrist and starts scanning the relics
The last AI installed starts booting up, it has a similar bootup to the Onyx AI. There was a pause for a moment and the other AIs took notice of this one. When the AI fully booted up a blue looking circle joined the others on the display. "Wha?" Vanilla said. She had a very similar reaction as Onyx did. Very disoriented and it didnt dawn on her the scale of time that has passed yet. "Wow...is that you Vanilla?" Onyx asked. "...Wait...Onyx? Where are we...I cant feel my body...I cant feel anything..." Vanilla said. "I...dont know..." Onyx replied
A transport lifter lands in the shuttlebay of the Lavie containing some personnel whom wee allowed to come over for the party and meetings to bring people up to speed on what things are happening. Dr. Nezri, Ahura and the navigator girl exit the Lifter and Yukari is there to meet them. "Hello... Doctor... being a perv as always are we?" "Anything for you Lady Yukari." he said in a seductive manner. "No..." She said with a scowl. The navigator went off to the lounge.
Ahura is beside her, following her lead as her protector as they entered the area. The ship seemed very interesting to him. It was a long time since he has been in a ship similar to this.
Scott calls communications can you contact Ahura and Dr nezri and request they come to the engineering bunker
Aidan goes to check on Emily,
Nezri follows Yukari and Ahura seemingly interested in what they will do. Yuka sees Emily enter the lounge taking herself and Aidan back to the lounge; she was sort of annoyed security called them for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON.
As soon as Gainz hears a voice that he thinks is Vanilla he enters the other room where the other AI are held in a closed off partitioned system. Vanilla starts to realize its the year 4566 as her systems come up to speed. "What...no...this cant be right...It cant be 4566. Where is Gates? Where is Dan?" Vanilla asked. Onyx couldnt answer, she had a bad feeling both of them were probably dead.
After the system completes its initial scans to verify that the AI's are not hostile or there to attack the system it gives them access to sensors and read only data.
Can you ais identify yourselves? Scott asks
Aidan goes over and lightly kisses Em on the cheek. "Good to see you up."
"What is going on?! Where is he! He would never leave me... Who are you people?!" Vanilla asked. She started to sound frantic. She knew something was very wrong. "My name is Onyx." Onyx said simply. She didnt identify herself with any model number and for an AI so old she didnt speak like anything of her era. The other AI replied. "Well...I guess you can call me Scotty." Scotty said. He was an odd case, a strange AI that seemed to have human origins. The process to digitize his consciousness seems to be a mystery. Vanilla however, was being stubborn. She wanted answers before she answered any questions.
Communications sends a message over the intercom calling Ahura and Nezri to engineering. Scott gets a call from the other engineers that he is needed in engineering to work on something with the engine. Yukari follows Nezri and Ahura.
Scott walks out to the engineers to see their progress As Scott is working with the engineers Yukari, Nezri and Ahura arrive outside engineering. Yukari was staring at the ship as they walked. She was still amazed by this place. they then enter the door the engineering.
Scott seeing the different uniforms asks them who they are
As soon as Gainz walks into the room Vanilla gasps and is like a deer frozen in headlights. She instantly recognized him, how could she not. He looked just like her lover, but she knew this wasnt Dan. This was the thing Skynet created to hunt them so many times. Vanilla screamed all of a sudden and was freaking out. "What the hell are you doing here?!?!" Vanilla exclaimed. "Vanilla! Vanilla...god it really is you..." Gainz said. "You did this!! What did you do to Dan?!" Vanilla shouted. "Vanilla please...its going to be hard to accept...but your senses are not lying to you. Its 4566...all that was thousands of years ago..." Gainz said. "No...no you're lying...why are you doing this...where is he...." Vanilla said, her voice sounding sadder.
Nezri and the others are sent into the lab by an engineer.

(People can still do backposts but here is the story moving on... After this and political stuff people will be getting shore leave... Consider this the final part of the battle for now... Shows how truly evil the FSF folks are... Aidan is off ship and Andrew is on the way back to the fleet; needless to say other characters are elsewhere since they were kind of doing their own things... Lots of people are trapped in their rooms, the lounge or Scott's lab. Enjoy this folks)
After the night of AI activations, reuniting family members and a bit of time to let loose it seemed that no one expected what was about to happen the Captain thought. Tere was standing next to him after her body had been restored overnight. The miracle of gems; the Captain looked over at his commander. “At least we understood the Commodore was a turncoat... It only cost half the task group… and our entire ground force… So what brilliant plan did you have milady.” Tere glared at the Captain as they overlooked the fleet; they were the second FSF ship that had “joined” the Federation forces. The fleet seemed to trust them as they fought their comrades for them… it was all part of her plan though; except getting shot… That was annoying and the appearance of the Kiru ship; MSA… while she did not specifically expect them she knew the Federation always had cards at its disposal and tended to not fight with honor having forces come out from behind you and stab you in the back. “Are your assault teams ready Captain?” “They are already in position ma’am.” “Good; lets turn this into a blood bath. I don’t take kindly to being shot in the back by some smug Delta Force wannabe… Little bitch; make sure you bring her to me before you bring the President and her staff. I want to play with the little whore who shot me from behind…” “We will try ma’am though it is possible she is not on board the Lavie.” “Do you bastards at least know who she is?” “Erin Mizriki the Lavie’s Chief of Security.” “Good then if you know who she is you can find her for me… Make sure I can play with my new toy before we move on to the main event my boy otherwise you won’t be watching your comrades die in battle; you’ll be joining them.” The Captain sent the signal.
On board Admiral Bryce’s ship a couple security officers walk on to the bridge looking at their other security officer companion. The four draw weapons and gun down everyone in the bridge shooting them with weapons set to kill. They then seal the bridge but keep the XO alive. “So Commander… How about you-“ “I’m not doing anything for the likes of you… Killing-“ “Oh that’s fine; I just wanted you to send Admiral Bryce a message in hell for me… This for for demoting me…” The former security chief then blew off the XO’s head. “Besides the second officer and medical officer are on our side anyway… We have control of this ship.”
On board the Lavie Sakura was on the bridge when Zoe spoke. “Commander… I think we have a situation…” Just then the door opened and Jessica along with three marines walk into the room… The security officer goes to draw his weapon but is shot before he can as he could tell by the look on their face. With the fewer people on the bridge though. They stun Zoe and the person at tactical and the helm station. Sakura had went for a gem and taken out one of them. Jessica aims her weapon set to kill at her. “Now now; just because you’re the President’s cousin does not mean I won’t get pleasure from killing you… If you survive and see that idiot Koto again tell him he was right all along… It really did take awhile for you people to trust us though.” “Cut it with your monologue bullshit… You’ll never take the ship…” She stuns Sakura. “Fine; I wasn’t interested in you anyway… Men did the fleet yards team planet the virus?” One of the officers whom was there sealed the bridge and then checked. “Yes ma’am.” “Activate it…” “Aye.” Suddenly all the Lavie’s systems start deactivating and rerouting other controls to the bridge with no way to override them. Upon the shift change of engineers in engineering which was right as this take over was happening one of the engineers shot the night person and sealed the doors to the labs so Seph and anyone else who was left in them were not trapped inside. All the quarters and other offices on the ship sealed themselves and then the Captain got control over the Lavie’s systems from his ship. Lumi whom was now in her quarters with Erik felt this intense pain in her head as all this was happening; the link to the ship activated itself and the AI part of the ship was trying to tell her there was a problem but with this virus… She sat up and woke Erik. “Something is not right.” The voice of the enemy Captain then came over the fleetwide comm as the virus was spreading form ship to ship. “This is Captain Kelus Marquis of Faith Special Forces Sixth Inquisitorial Division In the name of Field Marshal Maximus I claim this fleet as our own… We have your President hostage on the Lavie and control of one of your carriers; I would advise against any further attempt at resistance. Your fleet and the MSA Forces are to disengage and leave the system; any attempt at resistance will be met with the death of your most prized personnel. My forces are prepared to give their lives in exchange for completing our objective.
Yuka was already on her way to the bridge for the shift change along with Trent and two of the normal bridge staff. Their lift arrived just as the door was sealed so the system opened it anyway as the request preceded the lockdown. As the door opens Jessica turns glaring at Yuka aiming her weapon at her. Trent instinctively drew his weapon as did Sena and David. One of the other FSF agents fired at the lift and hit Sena stunning her. Trent fired and Jessica dodged. Yuka drew her gem and burned one of the FSF folks as the other at the Ops station stunned her. Jessica shot Trent as he shot her and David returns fire only to shoot a console before he himself is shot. The enemy officer then comes over and bashes David’s head into the wall of the lift repeatedly. “You fuck; learn your place…” he bashes his head into the wall again and grabs Yuka sealing the door after he grabbed her seating her in her chair but tying her to it so that they could use her when the stun wears off.
Meanwhile in the President’s VIP quarters the two marines guarding her office are shot by a squad of resistance fighters from Tyrone’s group; the group he and his security forces were looking for as they knew there were more traitors among them. One of Hukari’s security detail heard the fire and reported an emergency as he drew his weapon. Yumi woke Hukari and Mike while Marcus secured the door to her quarters as the others in her security detail stood by the main entry door that the FSF loyalists opened and a firefight began.
Erin and Kiyoko were on two of the MSA ships when they awoke normally to go about their day only to realize that when they woke the Lavie was engaged in a fight against itself.
Yukari was with Ahura in their temporarily quarters. She used the manual door override. “So the enemy has the dishonor to conscript the Federations own people against them… Dear let’s say you and I pay them a visit.” She opened the door manually grabbing her sword and putting on her uniform coat. As she got outside three FSF traitors were patrolling the hallway; they see her and prepare to fire only to be met with electricity from a yellow gem. “I don’t have time for you bastards…” She then heads for the lounge with Ahura using tubes as she had reviewed the ships schematics; always needed an escape route… Another thing she learned in her time on her own away from Ahura. Upon arriving at the door two FSF guys were there; her sword soon met the neck of one of them as the other drew his weapon. Yukari knew Ahura would have her back and she just grinned at the soldier. “How about you have some value for your own life and just open this door?” the guy nodded. Once he ended the code she flat-bladed him as the door opened to a large number of the crew trapped inside the lounge.

Emily Martinez was in the lounge with a few officers They were relaxing and enjoying the night. When the klaxons went off. Emily was a little confused why would the klaxons going off this late at night? Shortly after hearing the klaxons, she could hear fire fight in the corridors, at first she knew she was a sitting duck. Someone or some force was invading the DFS Lavie, she knew what she had to do.
Emily could hear out a few officers screaming. "Report to your battle stations."
But no message came across the intercom. She fled for the door, trying to get to her assigned duty station, during this time of crisis. But the path was blocked and a big fire fight broke out on the decks of the Lavie, she fled the other direction. Trying to make her way to the armory. She needed a weapon. She was not running from the battle, she was trying to get a weapon to help in the defense of her ship.
Emily did not have to travel far, there was two down officers one of them had a rifle the other had a hand phaser, she took the gear off the two fallen security officers. After confirming they were dead, and quickly put it on their gear and started to head back towards the weapons fire. She would have to mourn the loss of life later. Right now she needed to help in the defense of the ship.
Emily went charging towards danger, she opened return fire on the enemy forces, but they were quick, avoiding her cover fire. They were slowly retreating. She was very scared and angry at the same time. Who would dare attack the Lavie. They were going to regret that decision.
It was clear they were trying to regroup. Emily wondered how bad the invasion was, she assumed this was an invasion. All she knew for sure was, hostile forces were attacking the Lavie.
Emily noticed Yukari, she had barely met her, but she was the closest thing she had to an ally she could trust during this crisis. Emily continued to lay down suppression fire, as she made her way over to Yukari’s position.
“Emily Martinez, CFO, how how bad is it Ma’am” asked Emily.

Emily Martinez was in the lounge with a few officers They were relaxing and enjoying the night. When the klaxons went off. Emily was a little confused why would the klaxons going off this late at night? Shortly after hearing the klaxons, she could hear fire fight in the corridors, at first she knew she was a sitting duck. Someone or some force was invading the DFS Lavie, she knew what she had to do.
Emily could hear out a few officers screaming. "Report to your battle stations."
But no message came across the intercom. She fled for the door, trying to get to her assigned duty station, during this time of crisis. But the path was blocked and a big fire fight broke out on the decks of the Lavie, she fled the other direction. Trying to make her way to the armory. She needed a weapon. She was not running from the battle, she was trying to get a weapon to help in the defense of her ship.
Emily did not have to travel far, there was two down officers one of them had a rifle the other had a hand phaser, she took the gear off the two fallen security officers. After confirming they were dead, and quickly put it on their gear and started to head back towards the weapons fire. She would have to mourn the loss of life later. Right now she needed to help in the defense of the ship.
Emily went charging towards danger, she opened return fire on the enemy forces, but they were quick, avoiding her cover fire. They were slowly retreating. She was very scared and angry at the same time. Who would dare attack the Lavie. They were going to regret that decision.
It was clear they were trying to regroup. Emily wondered how bad the invasion was, she assumed this was an invasion. All she knew for sure was, hostile forces were attacking the Lavie.
Emily noticed Yukari, she had barely met her, but she was the closest thing she had to an ally she could trust during this crisis. Emily continued to lay down suppression fire, as she made her way over to Yukari’s position.
“Emily Martinez, CFO, how how bad is it Ma’am” asked Emily.
Yukari secured the lounge and the weapons the two enemy soldiers had she gave to some of the people locked in the room. They then distributed the weapons that were in a lockbox. She left coordinating with these folks to their own command structure but when she went outside one of the ships crew; she had seen her during the party had approached her.... Was she an ally Yukari wondered this only for a moment until Emily spoke. "I have no idea... Lady Yukari Solaros of the HSF Iris... It seems from the looks of it though that the enemy has secured the ship somehow; traitors among us I guess...

Yukari said as she made her way waving to the woman as she headed off. One of the security officers in the lounge comes out with a group following behind him all armed with a phaser or laser rifle. "Ensign we are making our way to secure the armory... Care to join us?"
"Lead the way," she said as she gripped the riffle tightly. She was a bit on edge, and her mind frame was in fight mode. She quickly glanced over at the settings of the weapon, and noticed they were set to vaporize. She re calibrated the rifle to heavy stun. No doubt they will want prisoners later she thought. She was not sure who was leading the invasion, she assumed it had to do with the attack on Alstair IV. She wondered also if the DFS Phoenix had been boarded as well? She tried to stay focus on the task at hand, watching the six of Yukari. Tag: Yukari
