A Leader's Deeds
1)
The Mobile Doll system is in our hands. New information from the state... this day will be... interesting...
[A way to deal with the Festum, possibly other Alien menaces that may have similar abilities. Cheng approves without a doubt. And to add to this he's looking at some schematics to boot - one that is awaiting his perusal and approval for production.]
The Mengde Cruiser... hm... an ambitious name.
[With the Federation looking to replace their old junk with new ship designs, the out of date Salamis had to go somewhere. This design was... to put it bluntly, what happens when you weld two Salamis together by their top halves and relocate the bridge. The 'mated' ships were refitted with several internal sections redesigned... but overall the structure of the ships remained the same. Large amounts of projectile and missile weaponry was in use in the design - though there was an alternate lay out that mounted at least three beam cannons.]
[Hangar space for a squad of up to eight Combat Frames/Prominence Armors...]
[Gucun didn't have a dedicated space force yet unlike the Federation and the Divine Crusaders. This design would be a good step so they wouldn't need to Piggy-back on allies or use outdated designs.]
[Cheng shook his head at some of the other redesigns of aged ships... this was the only promising one really. A shame.]
2)
[It seems that a number of the surviving Thaumata Pilots that had survived the battle at the DSSD station have went missing. The man responsible? None other than the Chairman General of Gucun - Hua Cheng Kwan himself. It would seem that he has recruited them and had those willing to work with him split into three groups - one to return to the State along with a few members of his Original Bodyguard detatchment, another to a small group of Gucun troops posted in space to help them in training in an unfamiliar environment... and the last and least numerous to take up rank for the casualties from the Giga-Float a long while back - There was little time to get additional replacements from Gucun after all...]
... I assume you have words for me?
[Cheng looks... stern to say the least. He figures that the moment someone found out about this questionable, if not... reprehensible action - they'd chew him out. But either way he's going to explain his reasons and stay firm on his decision.]

Many other factions have craft capable of dealing out fire support and maintaining troops...
They need my expressed approval... since Han Zhi has never been in space its more out of experience than delegation matters.

Most of our travel on Earth itself had been done solely by land and convoys - as part of Bian Zoldark's Alliance we had to depend on our allies for transport, or utilise surplus craft.
no subject
Sounds like you're looking at the big picture, Cheng. I'm sure you'll be able to get a good foothold just like everyone else...
And I'll be sure to put in a good word for you to Miss Herrera so when the next-gen Prominence Armors are complete you'll be able to get first pick of them!
no subject
[But one has to remember that the big picture is made up of many little pictures after all...]
Thank you Julia.

[Devon isn't even bothering to get angry. She just looks around to make sure their kids aren't around - they're not, fortunately. So she takes a step forward and slams her fist against the wall. Loudly.]
Cheng, have you gone insane?
no subject
No. I haven't. Simply leaving these men and women to rot would benefit no one and may lead to more trouble than its worth.
[He does not break eye contact at all. No. He's remaining firm on this.]
I took those who could be salvaged and left the extremists to their fates. We need manpower. Experience. How many pilots in Gucun have experience in Space Combat?
[A rethorical question. They both knew the answer.]
We have no one trained in space combat but ourselves. Thaumata as an entity is defunct, they have nowhere else to go.
Many of the pilots that have been cleared joined because they wished to protect humanity from an extraterestrial threat or had nowhere else to go or were gulled by Phillips' oratory or all of those.
It... would be better this way.
no subject
[Devon pauses grimly. There's a difference between Ascenders and Thaumata, even she has to admit.]
I don't like this.
no subject
[Cheng doesn't have to say what was the worst case.]
I know and I expected reprimand, even assault by members of the crew.
But I have reasons for this.
[He pinches the bridge of his nose and closes his eyes for a moment. As if the great weight of a decision was still pressuring him.]
I ask that you trust me, if not my decision. Both as your husband and as Chairman General.
no subject
I know. If not for this trust, we'd never reach as far as we did.
But make sure the ex-Thaumata behave. If they do anything suspicious, put them under surveillance.
Oh, one more thing.
If anyone from the Chalice questions you, ask them what they did when Christine Diaman joined their ranks.
Her origin is the same after all.
no subject
[Surveillance was a given of course... though he has to wonder if using Christine as a counterpoint would be enough arguement along his others.]
True. But I worry that some only gave her the chance because she was found in a.... damaged state.
[A broken, crying mess. Oh yes Julia, bodily harm witha body.]
no subject
From an objective point of view, there's no difference between her and a hardened soldier.

It will take time to train replacements and at this point we do not even have pilots who know how to operate in space...
And it is presumtuous to think that Thaumata is completely comprised of fanatics...
no subject
no subject
[A reasonable worry.]
no subject
You know your own business. I just... look, I've seen how long true believers can wait and play reformed. And we both know how much damage an... enemy on the inside can do. That's just the deliberate, conspiratorial stuff - this could taint Gucun's future in space before it begins, both in fact and in others' eyes.
