Mira was in the lounge after having herself some rather lewd dreams. What was with her and why… like they just escaped from some enemy and yet she was on about being her usual messed up self. She stared into the cup she was drinking a sweet coffee out of that wasn’t native to earth. “I really need to not quit my day job… at this rate I’ll be writing stories about myself…” she made fun of herself.
[13:02] Ivan&Ally: Soft footsteps as Chan's personal droid explored the ship, approaching the lounge. Chan herself was going through the data and experiences they had on their planetside adventure together with her A.I: Serena. Sometimes Mira could hear the bot speak as Chan's neural interface had an active link with the droid and thus anything she said, the bot repeated(edited)
[13:06] atsumari: As the droid arrived at the door Mira looked over at the obvious robot. She recalled the last time a random droid was on the ship from logs; it ended up exploding. “Uhh… Are you going to self destruct like the other one?” Mira asked temporarily drawn away from her inner battle of keeping her composure in the face of lewd thoughts. This was a welcome distraction even if the robot could potentially explode.
[13:07] atsumari: (it was a long time ago some guy came as a repair droid and blew up)
[13:11] Ivan&Ally: The droid briefly stopped speaking what appeared to be random sentences, turning its attention to Mira
"Oh, not at all ma'am, this is Chan's personal droid."
Some static as Chan took direct control

Chan: "My apologies, my droid was exploring the ship while Serena and I were going through the debrief of our activities on the planet, this thing doesn't have a self destruct function I assure you"
[13:15] atsumari: Mira blinked staring at the bot. “Oh you’re the little robot that we met down on the planet… So either your master is like me and cage bound or just highly anti-social… also like me… Hum… so what is your objective anyway… I mean sure you are following us… but to what end?” Mira asked.
[13:18] Ivan&Ally: Chan: "Neither actua-"
Serena: Liar
Chan: "Well a bit-
Serena: Alot
Chan: "-of the latter. I actually enlisted in the Trinity armed forces after the evacuation of Earth, but as you can tell, after the evacuation of Earth... So I was sort of on my own trying to locate friendly forces, then I got sidetracked with alien remnants and technology. We picked up a distress signal and the rest is history"(edited)
[13:22] atsumari: “Damn… you are a long way out… almost as unfortunate as me… but from the sounds of it at least you have an AI to keep you company… Before I met these guys I was on my own and my poor little dinky ass ship was adrift… no more fuel reserves… my dumb ass self would’ve been stuck unknowingly in space monsters land and I totally would have become a tentacle monsters tasty treat.” Mira smirked then chuckled at her own circumstances that will seeming unfortunate were actually very fortunate for her because with her illness being treated she actually was able to no longer be trapped in a bubble.
[13:27] Ivan&Ally: Chan: Then we have somewhat similar pasts, though your story sounds a lot more grim and reminds me of someone else's past who was in my former unit. Minus the monsters
[13:31] atsumari: “ I mean I’m over it… If you asked me a couple weeks ago how I felt I would’ve told you that I still am not over what happened but… i’ve found some really good friends here and… possibly even a replacement for the one I lost… Uh… anyway I don’t remember if I introduced myself down on the planet… I’m Mira Lowin. I command the tiny survey ship that’s in the hanger of the Lavie. Right now while here I am doing maps for them and helping operate some of their stellar cartography equipment… since I guess they don’t have a space mapping person on the crew… kind of seems strange for a large ship like this to have those type of facilities but have nobody to operate them… whatever though it means pay for me and a place to stay.” She said with a smile.
[13:37] Ivan&Ally: Chan: Chantelle Singularum, former Wolverine 2nd Lieutenant and current commander of my personal vessel: the UKG Judgemaker, Serena came up with the name.
Now that you say it, it does feel like the ship is operating with less than a skeleton crew. Like it feels that the crew had the wrong assignment and got a large ship instead of something like a corvette
[13:40] atsumari: “ my understanding is that their some sort of special operations unit. So I guess a bunch of their members end up doing multiple jobs because they are special forces… That also means that they don’t have a lot of bodies though which kind of sucks… good people none the less though. Between The Federation Senate trying to kill them and they’re being repatriated under the council; you know TUC the corporate space UN… heh… At least they’ve got people bending over backwards to help them when politicians that only want to control the populace try and kill them…” Mira shrugged(edited)
[13:44] Ivan&Ally: Chan: Sigh No matter where I go, politicians remain the same. I hate politics, its bureaucracy and corruption... Though I must admit that without some political arm twisting by my father I wouldn't be a Wolverine or have this ship. Just your average civilian worker or crewmate, maybe a military police officer. But still one of the lows humanity can offer.

I don't know if our people are even comparable to the humans that founded my home nation, so much time has passed and things have changed alot over the years.(edited)
[13:50] atsumari: “ yeah I mean with earth being attacked by the bugs it really… I mean the galaxy was screwed up in half but with the federation being dominated by the bugs any real attempt they had at stabilizing the galaxy totally went down the shitter… and opened up opportunity for even more corruption then was there before. All in all regular people get shit on and the fat cats get money… though I’m not sure what they’ll do with that money when they’re dead. So are you just planning to like stick around this ship like I’m doing… or do you have something else in mind?” She asked trying to understand Chan’s goals.
[13:55] Ivan&Ally: Chan: We have all payed the price with the evacuation of Earth, abandoned by those who were supposed to keep us safe.

I left family and a bright future in the Wolverines behind and came to Earth just a few years before the evacuation. A young adult, still trying to figure out who I want to be and what I want to do, wanting to reinvent myself on Earth, unfortunately recent events have forced my hand and I enlisted into the force, I guess the military is my calling. A long-standing family history.
[13:58] atsumari: “I just ended up here by circumstance… Sounds like you have bigger goals than I do… I’m just a girl trying to survive in a hostile landscape while still having as much fun as I can in the process. Uh… hopefully…”
[14:00] Ivan&Ally: Chan: Having some fun and positive vibes are important in situations like these, keeps up morale and hope. Making our situation just a little more bearable. I've been trying to contact my former unit, fortunately bonds aren't forgotten do quickly.
[14:03] atsumari: “I see… you should probably talk to the general about that one because yeah I don’t really have any decision making authority here. I’m pretty sure that these guys would be willing to help you with that though. Thornton seems level headed from my encounters with him.”
[14:05] Ivan&Ally: Serena: She's not a social person
Chan: Authority or not, doesn't mean we can't enjoy a nice chat.
I care little about one's status, unless it's a senior rank but then you have to.
Serena: That's not what happened when you insulted the ministry.
Chan: Shush, that's politicians
[14:09] atsumari: “I’ll send him a message then to set up a meeting with you.” Mira suggested. “Social or not you are doing a pretty good job conversing with the lewdie of this place; if you can chat with me without wanting to remove your soul from your body you’ll survive Aidan Thornton.” She smirked.
[14:11] Ivan&Ally: Blank stare before blinking
Chan: Um, right. I'll umm, be looking for him. Have a nice day?
[14:13] atsumari: Mira nods. “Cool I’ll message him… don’t be a stranger… I’m always just drawing lewdness or writing nothing in particular while wandering around so you’ll find me again as long as the space tentacles don’t get you.” Mira returns to her coffee bidding Chan’s bot farewell.

Mira went to the bridge to do today’s shift; yay for her. She thought. She was tired after all the magical huberbubub she had to do and hoped today would be easy. She really hoped no war happened today and nobody tried to kill them. As she reported Haru was there in the command chair fiddling with an object similar to Scott’s coffee making death machine except it seemed to make other drinks that were not as deadly. She was attempting to construct some sort of an energy drink with the weird contraption.
[15:15] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: (Haha…Scott’s koto coffee thing returns)
[15:15] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: (in a less deadly version)
[15:18] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: (One of our players created a coffee machine that creates coffee that kept you up for days and potentially caused your heart to explode… Basically meth)

[15:22] Tuncecine: (oh cool Kevin's here I'll have ryuji go over there.)
[15:22] Aya (Chan&Aurey): Chan sat inside her ship's small personal quarters, she's been looking at her omnitool for the past few hours, tracking an approaching blip on the nav screen, it's still a few lightyears out
Serena interrupted her
S: It's gotten close enough for identification, a very old Durham Corvette, with the old 40mm Bofors and 20mm Vulcan for defense. Still awaiting IFF signal.

Chan: It's most likely not Nesher, probably a national guard law enforcement.
Chan lets herself drop backwards onto her bed with a sigh
[15:24] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: (Yep; it’s likely kev is who was helping Mira just as an NPC because she’s been learning how to use her whole healing shit to… magic stuff… well and Maki is here too but her power is different cause Mega but yeah I mean she could help teach too)
[15:26] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: As an unknown contact appeared on drive tactical which was manned by one of the new relief crew looked up. “Captain unknown vessel approaching.” Haru responds only half interested “Shields up hail the vessel?”
[15:26] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: (does a channel open)
[15:27] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: (or does it just flat out ignore people lol)
[15:28] keving: (Hopefully it doesn't ignore hailing)
[15:28] Aya (Chan&Aurey): (Usually on a different type of Comms. But there's the universally accepted Comms aswell for cases like these)
[15:28] M82A1: Dawn, having finished her tea break and done a small amount of system maintenance on her own mainframe, reports to the bridge as soon as the new contact was picked up.
[15:29] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: (this ship is out in unaligned territory it would transmit through all available frequencies) (edited)
[15:33] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: Mira coughs. “Uh… alert conditions?” The officer at tactical looks confused. “… might as well just have the AI do this shit at that point…” Mira sighs and uses her own console to set the ship to tactical standby since the ship was an unknown. (Chan’s ship would see the Lavie entering defensive mode now)
[15:35] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: An announcement from Lumiere goes over the Lavie’s intercoms ship wide. “All hands yellow alert. Report to standby stations; this is not a drill.  Senior officers to the bridge” (edited)
[15:37] Aya (Chan&Aurey): Chan: Serena.

Serena on an open mic
S: IFF identified. Durham-class corvette: UKG Renaissance. Carrying priority one HVI. Codename: Valkyrie, returning from Sol System survey.

.. Purple Pandora...
[15:40] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: “Captain Sumimori of the Lavie… pardon; say again… you said that that ship was surveying the Sol system… UKG… so your agency?” Haru asked over audio.
[15:40] Tory Trace: [im a bit confused on where Tory woudl normally be at. On the bridge at the engineering console, or in engineering itself?]
[15:41] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: (if he was on shift he either would’ve been an engineering or if he was off shift he would’ve just been chilling somewhere but during an alert condition he would return to duty)
[15:41] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: (any time and alert condition happens every senior officer returns to duty status)
[15:42] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: (that’s the importance of alert conditions hence why Mira said something… if that were an enemy and tried to attack them they would need everyone at stations)
[15:43] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: (it’s like general quarters on an actual warship in the real world) (edited)
[15:43] Tory Trace: Tory heard the yellow call while he was in the canteen drinking some coffee. Seems like something has happened and he set off for engineering. He arrived in the large room shortly later. "All personnel accounted for?" he said to the staff on hand
[15:47] Aya (Chan&Aurey): S: From the Sol System, yes.

"Valkyrie" was the first commander and mentor of my unit with focus on the current commander, this was long before I was born however.

The hail is answered
V: UKG Renaissance, if you are expecting a fight you will be disappointed.
[15:51] Aya (Chan&Aurey): (Suddenly so quiet
[15:52] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: “Renaissance I’m Captain Haruka Sumimori of the TFS Lavie. Please state your purpose; are you here as reinforcements for Judgmaker? I mean I don’t mean to disrespect but the request for assistance was a considerable time ago. All is well now as you can see.” She said smiling over the now active video link if they activated it. “Stand down alert status.” She said to Dawn at the operations console Since the newbie at tactical didn’t seem to know what he was doing.
[15:53] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: (Poor new guy is in doghouse with captain Lel)

[15:59] Aya (Chan&Aurey): V: I came to see what one of my own is doing so far from home. Earth is still not safe if that was your intent. Adapting well to life in space, Chan?

In a nervous tone. You could say that ma'am. 

V: I did notice a distress signal but this old scrap isn't exactly a fast cruiser or much help.
The Renaissance exits FTL off the port side of the Lavie's bow, not far from the Judgemaker either
@♤Oscar♤
( Was going to but I'm having a hard time finding my place  )
[15:59] Aya (Chan&Aurey): 
[16:00] keving: Kirin heads to the docking bay to wait for alignment of ship
[16:02] Aya (Chan&Aurey): (Question how large is the hangar?
[16:03] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: (You’d use a shuttle likely or teleporter)
[16:04] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: (or… I’m kind of confused as to reference of how big your ships are in comparison to mine)
[16:06] Aya (Chan&Aurey): The Renaissance deploys a Raven dropship, heading towards the Lavie

[16:11] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: ( if the Providence ever comes it’s like three or four times the size of lavie lol… and the city ships are behemoths compared to lavie… I mean considering they are you know cities but yeah)
[16:14] Solar Tech Superhero: Aidan wandered onto the bridge, coffee in hand. He was just observing. His duties had become managerial in nature, which he hated. So a trip to the bridge to seek something other than looking and filing paperwork.
[16:15] Aya (Chan&Aurey): The Raven entered the Lavie, extended its landing gear and landed. The left side door opening with a quite tall magenta haired woman disembarking

[16:15] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: Aidan sees The new ensign at the security station seeming to struggle to do his job in the very most menial tasks

[16:16] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: (Kev she’d be where you are since you’re in charge of the security team that’s there)
[16:20] Solar Tech Superhero: Since it wasn't mission critical, Aidan slide over to the Ensign. "Relax and go through it one step at a time. Rely on the other around you if you get confused. No one learns this in a day. It'll get easier with time."  Inwardly he rolled his eyes. The people around him seemed to get younger all the time. He chuckled to himself since he looked 21 again.
[16:20] keving: (Gotcha)
[16:22] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: Mira cancelled the alert since it seemed Dawn fell asleep. The ship returns to not being ready to kill shit.

[16:26] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: (totally sounds like something the army would say we’re ready to kill shit, we’re not ready to kill shit)
[16:26] ♤Oscar♤: Oscar finishes his morning coffee as he listens to music, then gets into his normal, more "formal" attire and heads out of his quarters. 
He overheard that something was going on so he made the decision to head over to the bridge, though fortunately/unfortunately for him his powers started going out of control again, causing him to blink to the bridge as soon as he blinked his eyes.
Confused, he asks Aidan who he sees over on the other side of the bridge; 
"U-Umm.. May I ask exactly how I got here..?"
Oscar awkwardly gets the words out of his mouth.
[16:26] ♤Oscar♤: (Bruh this is the only thing I've written today  )

[16:34] Aya (Chan&Aurey): Nothing too much out of the ordinary when it comes to the ship. The lady stood at a length past 2m/6ft 7.75in. Wearing black non-combatant clothing, a service path on her right shoulder with nationality, date of enlistment/entry, service branch, rank, codename and blood type

Maki appeached the security team looking rather dumb just standing there being stared into by the newcomer. Maki shrugs then offers a salute. "Makigisa Tahoshi from SNIEF on assignment to the Trinity Forces here on the Lavie. I assume that command asked for you; would you like me to take you to our bridge?" She asked.

Maki was as talkative as ever if it didn't involve stars, food or Atsikai. Upon the lift arriving on the bridge she exited gesturing for her to exit.

[15:23] Solar Tech Superhero: Aidan wanted to smirk at Haru's comment but merely nodded.
[15:26] ♤Oscar♤: Oscar is leaning against the wall, holding a small flask in his hand that contains a coffee flavoured health drink made by himself. 
He takes a look at the newcomer from head to toe as they exit the elevator.
"Well that's a new face if I've ever seen one, welcome aboard." he says while giving a warm smile towards the new person.

[15:28] Aya (Chan&Aurey): Aurey: Aurey Simulacrum. Codename: Valkyrie. Yes, you could say that. I've redirected one of our vessels to our location.
[15:32] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: "Redirected; good word there; I like that..." Mira commented from the holosensor station. She turns to the group from  her screen. "I'm Mari Lowin; I help these guys with flying stuff and operating their mapping computers... I also captain my own ship similar to you and your friend... comrade; whatever she is to you... except I have no spiffy AI.... All you newfangled lot and your advanced AIs..." Haru shakes her head. There was nothing she could do about Mira though. "Right.... Well... what are your intentions Captain Simulacrum?" Haru asked getting directly to the point.
[15:37] Aya (Chan&Aurey): Aurey: General Simulacrum. I went to come and see how one of my former subordinates are doing, earlier than scheduled but one doesn't simply ignore a distress signal.
[15:41] ♡ ♪ Atsu ♪ ♡: "Oh General...-" Mira was about to make some comment but Haru's hand in the air stopped her. "Okay... So just as was confirmed over comms you are just replying to when we were at Rema. Frankly I am pretty surprised that the communique actually got through given the hard time we had contacting our teams on the ground. Alas here we are now... Since you know that your comrade is fine General; what will your next steps be; are you interested in coming along, were you just going to report your findings to your superiors; is there anything you need from us?" Haru asked.
[15:46] Aya (Chan&Aurey): Aurey briefly looks towards Oscar
Aurey: Thank you, specialist Kashima.

Turns back to Haru
Aurey: Administrative business is not my style. Just treat me as a "military attaché" in the broadest sense. Some minor cooperation between our Armed Forces wouldn't hurt.
[15:47] Aya (Chan&Aurey): (I plan to get more personal (like backstory) as time progresses)

Aurey: A "business trip"
[15:53] Solar Tech Superhero: (for that matterm what is a shief)
[15:56] Solar Tech Superhero: "Vague." Aidan said plainly. "Wanna tag along fine. Don't be in the way if we have to shoot things. Action tends to be attracted to us like a magnet"

[15:58] Solar Tech Superhero: (Sorry. Aidan doesn't respond well to cryptic answers. He's been bitten before)
