YSS Kaiyō II
Wardroom
1201 Hours
YE 40
Hoshi was quick and to the point, "Datapads away, put me at the forefront of your digital minds, please, crew..." She waited. "We have had many changes to our ship since our last mission. Eden," Hoshi said, then looked sideways and the volumetric screen behind her showed a memorialized picture of the former XO before she had become an NH-40,. "Teien Eden, has been," Hoshi said, "asked to assist the Empire in ways that she could not do on this ship. Some of you may feel like reaching out to her, but it is asked that her privacy be respected during this time." Hoshi's face had grown cold and stayed so, "Please welcome Taii Kaze "Kamikaze" Hikaru, everyone. She has recently been in and won a skirmish with some kind of deer people allied with Kuvexia, so ask her non-classified questions about that during lunch. We have a nice spread today, consisting of a portion of seared pork cutle—"
The Taii turned her attention away from the screen after an elongated glare at the portrait of the back hime-cut woman. She looked pointedly to the Chusa and Hoshi coughed, then murmured on.
"Boss, please let the cooks know they can bring out the meal."
Kamikaze turned her long and busty body to face the diminutive captain. A blue brow raised on her pink face and Hoshi spoke more resolutely, now.
"The Taii has asked I share mission details with herself and, by implication, this crew. I ask that she not strong-arm me further." The Taii's pearly blue and green eyes showed a look off incredulity while Hoshi went on. "We are reuniting with our fleet. Every crew member on this ship knows the YSS Kaiyō II and its predecessor were of the First XF and we will continue to be a ship that serves her Empire and Fleet. Expect no universal aetheric explosions or eliminating entire planets as they careen towards Core Yamatai, this time, Kaiyō crew, no..." Hoshi said somberly as Kamikaze's dimples showed beside a bright and peachy smile.
"We will be defending what we hold dear and exacting revenge for those of our people that cannot do so. We have taken up weapons," Hoshi said with a thunk of her pink fist against the table she sat at and on the volumetric screen behind her, a single kikyō bellflower bloomed over Eden's face. Inside of it was Himiko's face, severe and taut. "And with our weapons, we now fight outright. Not to learn or to explore, but to kill. Today, we will do whatever it is we do to fill our time in preparation to kill. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe even today, on this hour. Be ready to kill the Kuvexians that are laying waste to your Empire. Be ready not just to murder them outright, but to send a message to the rest of every universe, Kaiyō. This is who we are. Not only are we strong, but we are invincible. For every bone they may break on one hand, I will use my other to gauge their eyes and pierce arteries. I hope you keep your wits and wills on the same level that mine will be at when the time comes."
She turned sharply and Himiko's face was replaced with a moving video of Yui in battle, unarmored and near naked as she ripped apart and vandalized the bodies of her attackers with a zeal all her own.
"Some of you here," Hoshi said in a low voice, but by now Boss was broadcasting the speech a little louder than it was being said for the multi-tiered wardroom, "have not been with this ship long. A few of you behind me haven't even slept in a cabin of a ship of this namesake. I call upon you in this eleventh hour not with my heart, nor mind, but with my hand. Take it. Walk with me into the dark night that is war.
"You will..." Hoshi said, looking back to the crowd there as the memorialization of Eden reappeared. "Or, I will, see death when we begin this next phase of the fight. Friends, family, or we will die. We accept that as we move forward. We may be re-skinned and we may have more questions than answers after that. Our minds are large enough to ask the appropriate questions at the appropriate times. We may need to answer some things after and not before total defeat of the enemy, and that is our duty. Your ST this morning will not cover what I have said today, but sending updated file packets to Boss, our MEGAMI, for me to re-examine if and after I have been re-skinned is a common practice of mine. You can do this up to death on the battle field if your AIES is active or you are wirelessly connected to PANTHEON."
Hoshi looked critically at her hand in front of her as it moved, then pushed it down on the table to lay flat and spoke on.
"I ended that on a very cold note, but this is war and we are here to be tactical. We are not here to quiver in the dark of the night, we are here to tactically eradicate what goes bump, so that our civilian populace can live in peace and so that we can do those things we enjoy doing more than murdering. So that we can," Hoshi said and quoted herself, "'learn or to explore.' Now is not the time for that, though, so be prepared to think tactically and murder."
Kamikaze's expression had slackened and Hoshi looked to her. The Taii's brows raised and Hoshi spoke again, "I am not taking questions and will be alone in my ready room and am to remain that way."
"I will join you," Kamikaze said, scooting back her chair.
"No," Hoshi said, raising a hand with a sour face. "Taii. Arigato gozai..." She sighed, bowing, "Gozaimasu." Hoshi soon had left the wardroom through the bridge while Kamikaze sighed out and her shoulders visibly raised and slackened before she spoke.
"I will be on the bridge," Kamikaze-taii said and she exited the wardroom as two nervous cooks set the trays of cutlets, long green and purple beans, rice and carrot pilaf, and squid and mountain vegetable salad before leaving, as well.
