Continue to laser the most damaged drone!

Go into PCASS storage, and see whats in there

[Tiruin]

Kira started into a run before skidding to a halt after five steps. She was not given clearance to enter those doors. Or, at least she thought she didn't have.

But, the thought of vindication was too strong. Somehow, Dylan was also in the vicinity so what made the difference of two pilots?

P.C.A.S.S. Something that she didn't know the meaning of. While they may be suits for combat, they may also be something else entirely.

Only one way to find out, she mused as she returned to a run.

Kira > PCASS Storage 1

Say Hi to Dylan.

If it is a suit storage, get in one and get my way out into the battlefield!

[Taricus]

Continue to laser the most damaged drone!

[Haspen]

Mission 1, Turn 27:

Erava: 4 + 3 = 7

Pshaaam!

(70+10-20=60>9, hit! Dmg: 78 -> 39 shields, hull)

And another hit!

Harpe: 3 + 3 = 6

(70+10-20=60>44, hit! Dmg: 80 -> 40 shields, hull destroyed)

Harpe then scores a hit as well and the Cobra Drone dissappears in cloud of flame.

(Harpe: Yet another kill!)

ViperDrone8: 5 + 0.5 = 5.5
CobraDrone2: 1 + 0.5 = 1.5

As the Cobra was destroyed, the Viper had to attack Erava alone.

(60-25=35<39, miss!)

But missed.

(90-20=70>62, hit! Dmg: 140 -> 70 shields, hull)
(90-20=70>38, hit! Dmg: 128 -> 53 shields down, 75 hull destroyed)

It was obliterated by Scylla's cannons just moment later.

Viper VIII destroyed by laser artillery

Mission complete!

Kira&Dylan:

Just as the duo got closer, there was a loud beep coming from the speakers.

"Attention Hangar crew. The battle has been won. Prepare to open the hangar bay door and take two suits inside."

The engineers, upon hearing the message, began frantically putting on suits, and those without them, were crowding at two small doors.

"Hey you!" Tyler shouted at Kira and Dylan after spotting the pilots. "Stop staring at the storage door and get through the doors with others! I don't wanna see you gettin' blown in the space!"

---MISSION RESULTS---

Dylan: 3 kills, retreated, 0.5 skill ranks gained. New Rank: Novice Pilot.
Erava: 1 kill, 1 skill rank gained. New Rank: Novice Pilot.
Harpe: 4 kills, 1 skill rank gained. New Rank: Novice Pilot.
Kira: 1 kill, retreated, 0.5 skill ranks gained. New Rank: Novice Pilot.

[Taricus]

Skill point into Rifles please

[Tiruin]

As Kira viewed the results, her heart was filled with shame and disgust at her performance, along with the general incompetence of her state.

She couldn't even hit those damned drones as well as everyone else did, despite having trained in accuracy, and even taking a nostalgic emergency fight in the VR machines. She was even faced with the death of an ally; too close for comfort, as she swore she could see his person as the suit exploded into silent fragments.

Why...couldn't she be any more useful than she was before?! Damnit!

Why wasn't she the one to die on that fateful day. It was better than seeing everything you tried to succeed in, and fail at.

She just hoped her body wasn't showing how she felt as she...awaited other briefing.

This was useless.

[Haspen]

The corridors of the upper decks were in dissarray. Engineers and damage control teams were fixing the panels, adjusting electricity nad changing light sources into unbroken ones.

The briefing room, however, was in rather perfect state.

"Welcome, welcome. Sit down." It was First Officer Sergei Romanov. THere was no sight of the captain at the moment, as he 'right hand' eyed the entering pilots. He had several crystalline tablets and data pads in his hands.

[Tiruin]

Sit down and listen to what the First Officer has to say.

Silently.

[Twi]

Harpe grins madly at nothing in particular. That is, until she sees Kira, prompting her smile to disappear.
(Skill rank: Rifles, duh.)
Go to the briefing room and sit next to Kira. Try to look calm.

[RAM]

Sarah took the first available seat and glared at the officer.

[Haspen]

//GAH! Why all those posts weren't showing up in my unread replies!? Dx

"I congratulate you on your mission, pilots. We don't have time to mourn for our lost comrade. During your battle with the drones, we had a surprise attack from starboard - several bomber drones and few fighters. Whilst we managed to deal with them with timely arrival of Odysseus, there were light damage to the upper decks and several wounded, amongst them Captain Lydia. She is currently in sickbay."

"I would like to welcome Sarah Galloway, your newest teammate. Odysseus had too many pilots for now, and thus she was transferred. Her suit of choice is Stargazer." Here, the First Officer looked briefly at Kira."

"Given your performance, I'm promoting you to a military rank of Novice Pilots. The Quartermaster have already sent new uniforms into your bedrooms with proper shoulder badges."

With Odysseus here, I'm currently debating with the Captain if either we should take on Odysseus duties and rendevous with cruiser group near Tau Ceti III, or maybe we should go deeper into asteroid field. Given the emergence of Tsuan suit, it is now clear that there's a Tsuan outpost. So far, the Captain is undecided. If any of you have any suggestions, I would be glad to hear them, now."

[Erava, Harpe: +1 point into Rifles]

[Tiruin]

Kira's senses perked up with the mention of a Stargazer, but was dismayed to hear it belong to another. Then was calmed to hear that it did belong to another. She wasn't feeling right at the moment, with the scars of death etched in her memory.

"Excuse me, Sir. We cannot directly assault the Tsuan outpost along with the Odysseus, can we? A surprise attack perhaps?

Forgive my query, but if not, then I cast my vote with the rendezvous. We need to inform our allied fleet of the events that transpired here."

[Haspen]

The First Officer shook his head.

"Not really. The fleet is going to attack several outposts. We weren't included in the roster and we were going to perform sensor sweeps andvortex patrol duty. It is by coincidence that Odysseus arrived late, they had minor problems with their vortex engine. As I said, either we or them can go and check the asteroid field. If-"

"First Officer Sergei Romanov, please report to the sickbay." The computer voice interrupted the officer.

"Any other insights?" He asked, ready to leave. "If not, you're free for now."

"I came here to kill Tsuans. You found Tsuans. I don't see any reason to leave..."
