1) // ACTION //

[Ever since that fight with those strange time stopping aliens, Tohya has been soul searching. Thinking, trying to figure out what was going on. Something was changing about him, and he wasn't really sure what. So he had been scarce lately. He wanted to spend some time away from the Cytron, it was... the effects it was having on him were... scaring him.]

2) // JOURNAL //

What happened? I suddenly felt a lurch and then I fell over and uh... I think I hit my head. I woke up with a splitting headache and the Chalice was a mess. Ayame says I'll probably be fine, but she wants to keep me under watch so I'll be in the med bay if you wanna talk in person. But seriously, what did I miss?

[Video, Hangar]

[Calvina is currently ignoring the fancy new sounds the captain is providing and busily glaring at and focusing a camera on Bellzelute. The machine is currently lacking three limbs, a head, and most of its already minimal frontal armor. At least some of it was salvageable, but the mech is about as close to totaled as she'd ever seen something get while still staying functional.]

[Calvina keeps a camera from the hangar comm station trained on the mech while she makes a comment.]

And that is why you do not charge unknowns in a lightly armored high-mobility mech. It's only by the grace of our enemies leaving a lot of usable salvage that Bellzelute or Coustwell are going to fly any time in the next six months. This has been your training for this month, unless I decide to bring people along when I'm getting used to the third unit in this series.

[She switches the video feed to a filtered channel, speaking quietly under the noise of the techs dragging supplies from the transports aboard.]

[Filtered to Tohya]

Katia was about as vocal as usual about the people we fought, but between the physical similarities to our mechs and how scared the girls were when they saw the enemy, I think we've finally run across the people who created Bellzelute, Coustwell, and Granteed.

[Once again the stray boy was out on the deck staring out at the ocean, despite coming somewhat clean he was still hiding several things. He didn't know the reason why he was continuing to do so. Ever since he had come back from his Gramps' other lab one name in particular was bothering him.]

GreAT...

[Even if he had a name he wasn't able to find out anything about them on his own and he didn't like it. Several stacks of books sat next to him though in the end they didn't help at all.]

[Tohya seems relatively unphased by the whole situation. Traveling around with his father and living on his own, especially on the exodus, he has lived through situations where he had less food than this. Strangely, he isn't gorging himself on the sweets at fairy park. Rather he is taking them aboard ship and stowing them who knows where. Care to approach him about this?]

2) // JOURNAL //

While I know most of you are going to fairy park, I have a project I have been thinking about. And since the repair crews don't have that much to do with the parts shortage, now would be a good time to do it.

I think we should install teleport relays in more locations around the ship. Places that would generally be considered less important to teleport to directly like the arboretum and the gym. It would not only make travel more convenient, but it would also have tactical benefit in the case the ship gets boarded.

More importantly right now, it would help cut down on walking time, which would help preserve precious calories. I don't know if the command crew will allow it, but we can at least discuss what everyone thinks of the idea on the forum I made for this post.

[Public channel. And Josh is in the kind SRS BUSINESS mode that you know is only followed by neckbearded rantings.]

I've heard that one of you... or possibly even several of you is in possession of the worst movie ever created. It's been a ~~sidequest~~ goal of mine to wipe out this bane that not even Second Impact could kill, and I won't have mediocrity dwell in the ship.

Those possession of the movie, you know who you are. Destroy it.

We can at least do this much to better the world.

(OOC note: Josh may hate the 2011 The Thing movie but I thought it was actually pretty good! Just clearing that up.)

[The Rushbird returns to the White Chalice surprisingly completely undamaged. It was easy to put together now that the explosion and subsequent 'depowering' of the Rushbird was all a sham.

However as Ichitaka exits the cockpit he doesn't look happy in the least. While his plan had somewhat fallen apart that wasn't what was bothering him. Anyone that got close enough could hear him whisper. ]

Some people here are despicable...

[The other unfortunate thing was that his plan to try to reveal the mole completely fell apart due to what had happened but he could only talk to a few people about that.]

Dita, something big is about to happen, and I think I'm in the middle of it. I want you to come and witness it by my side. I'm going to be in the War room.

This is Kamille Bidan. To all parties invested in the defeat of the Titans, we're having a strategy pow-wow in the War Room. Please come to the War Room as soon as humanly possible. I repeat...

Francesca Lucchini didn't often set out to cause some fun, but she had woken up with a mission in mind. One that would take careful planning, and a lot of work.

Of course she's going to half ass it.

As in only take half the pair. She makes sure not to do it to anyone on duty for the day, but somewhere in an unused portion of the ship there's a pile of shoes. Only the left shoe, remember half assing here!

In place of the shoe she left directions if you can decypher them, on where to go to get your shoe back, of course she's not going to be there, she doesn't want to get lynched for a prank! Good luck finding her!

[ Char seems to be writing another letter, this one by hand. This one is addressed to... yeah. You guessed it. ]

Dearest Haman,

I hope this letter finds you well. I want to say first and foremost that I do not want you to worry about me, though I'm sure 'worried' isn't the correct word to describe your current state of mind regarding me. It is likely that you already know where I am, and what I have been up to recently. It is for that reason that I believe sending you this letter is paramount and necessary.

I know I am in no position to ask any favor of you whatsoever, however, I believe it is necessary to ask that you please do not take any action regarding the Titans. I know that is bold of me, but I want you to know that the White Chalice will deal with them when the time comes. Zeon involvement with the resistance movement would serve only to discredit their current progress, and would place the colonists in further danger.

Second, I want you to know that the White Chalice are not your enemies. There are good people onboard this ship, and they are not affiliated with the Federation in any way. In fact, at this point, I believe it would not be entirely inaccurate to call them enemies of the Federation, due to their opposition to the Titans. While there are ex-Federation soldiers onboard this ship, they abhor the current treatment of the colonists, and are working to help them as I write this.

Third, I want you to know that I do not consider myself an enemy of Zeon. I will always believe in the ideals of Zeon Zum Deikun, and I will always believe in the idea of a free and independent nation of Spacenoids. While my reasons for leaving Axis are my own, I do not want you to think of me as an enemy of Spacenoids. I believe Her Majesty Mineva Zabi will be a great ruler one day, and it is my wish to see her become a strong and benevolent figure that Spacenoids of all walks of life can look up to and admire.

I know that you know why I left Axis, Haman. I know you understand that while I will always care about you and wish you only the best, that I must, in time, bring myself to forgive you for what you did to Natalie. I know that, in your heart, you know that what you did was wrong. I hope that someday I can forgive you, and that perhaps, we can work together again to build a safe place for Spacenoids to live in freedom.

All I ask is that you do not harm the people of the White Chalice or intervene in the conflict with the Titans in any way. I have the situation under control, and that, while I may not have forgiven you for your betrayal of Natalie, I would not lie to you. Please try to understand my reasons for asking this of you.

Yours,
Char.

[ Satisfied, Char leaves it on the table, and stares down at the piece of paper with his chin resting in his palm. Feel free to sneak a read over his shoulder; he's pretty distracted. ]

Since he had boarded the White Chalice, Yuunagi had been particularly focused on repairing the damage dealt to the Straybird. To anyone that passed by and glanced his way, he seemed to be in a rush.

Fortunately for him, the parts from the Graife residence brought onto the White Chalice by Ichitaka were sufficient to complete the repairs.

"The sooner I'm done here, the sooner I can leave" would be his answer to those who might have decided to ask why he was being so hasty.

Despite his talk with Ichitaka, Yuunagi was still adamant on continuing his search for their grandfather, alone.

Bother him? Convince him otherwise?

[After saying goodbye to Ryo Ichitaka is huddled off in one of the corners of the hangar, he doesn't bother hiding his tears at all. Despite coming to accept it, he was still deeply hurt by it.]

It's alright to cry...

[He spoke to himself remembering when he was told that his parents had been killed.]

[Shortly after this Tohya makes a decision. He can't pilot Coustwell right now, and it's unlikely he will be able to before the end of the mission. But that doesn't mean he can't help. So he volunteers as medical staff, and starts reading up on both nursing and counseling.]

[You might have him helping you when you get hurt, or you might simply find him after a long day working with the medical team. Whatever the case, he is working harder than anyone has ever seen him work, ever.]

[For anyone who decides to pay a visit to The Wall, you'll find that the entire length of it's been repainted over, and then in massive letting, absolute defeatest talk.]

We are all going to die here. Every one of us.

[And not only that, there's Ryo, having grabbed another TSX pilot by the collar and... well for the first time ever, anyone present can see Ryo look furious.]

Why do something like this? Hope of success is one of the things that's keeping this operation from being a failure! We're halfway through the operation, and aside from that last attack-

That's rich coming from you, Ryo! We're risking out live day in and day out! And you're one to talk... you're the one using that new Fafner model... you know, the one who ISN'T going to kill you after only a short time of usage! Besides, you ran away from the Island while the rest of us trained

You make it sound like I was just fooling around all day! I was risking my life too to gather data on the TSX's performance! The only reason those machines are working as well as they are is because I nearly killed myself using one!

Yeah, you did! And you did it to get out of using one NOW, by picking and choosing when to fight! Hiroshi's dead and Sumiko's in the hospital, just lying there! The doctors can't do anything for them... but oh, your little friends from the Chalice; THEY'RE the ones that can be patched up good as new! But it doesn't matter at all... you know why? Because WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE-

[The pilot never finishes. Abruptly, Ryo's fist comes crashing down into his face, all of his strength and weight put into it. For one with such a sickly body, it's surprising that the blow completely floors the TSX pilot... but that's exactly what happened. A moment later and Ryo himself falls to his knees, panting heavily as he glares at the fallen pilot.]

... This mission... it's going to be a success! I never doubted that when I agreed to it! We've fought tooth and nail and the people who are injured or who have damaged mechs can recover while others take up the slack! Think about it for a moment...! For a week, a whole week we've been fighting Festum! And for that week we haven't been defeated... we're still here! With no backup and no aid we've held our own against them!

That's reason enough to believe we'll make it home!

l-has-a-keikaku.livejournal.com

[Several hours had passed since the last Festum attack, Ichitaka had drifted in and out of critical condition. Being right next to his systems when they had exploded he was far from doing well when he was first brought into the infirmary. Suffering several burns, cuts,shrapnel embedded in him from the explosion, and a concussion.

Thankfully the medics on the L-Boat were some of the best within a few hours he seemed to have stabilized ,the Doctors sending him to another room to let him rest. Waking up next to coma patients wouldn't exactly be a good sight for someone who was just injured.

He wakes up in the middle of the night slightly confused.]

[Visit?]

1) [Ever since that guy was sent to the hospital, Tohya has been spending as much of his waking time as possible fighting in Coustwell. Festenia as well. They are ignoring the scheduled shifts, and are commonly the first on the scene during a Festum attack. Tohya's complaining has also taken a distinctly different bent, mostly complaining to himself about how fucked up the whole situation is. If anyone comes out using a TSX, he contacts them and tells them he has this down, he will keep them from having to pilot as much as possible. He might not be able to save the island, or save everyone from the festum. But if he can save at least one pilot from being killed by their own Fafner, he will do that. Besides, for some unknown reason the Cytron seems to quiet the Festum's voice. He doesn't know why exactly, but he will take any advantage he can get.]

2) [Unfortunately, this takes it's toll. Now the Coustwell is in the hanger, missing both it's arms and there is an obvious black hole shaped piece of it's upper legs which is missing. Neither Festania nor Tohya is complaining. Instead they are both looking up at the unit. They are battle scars, and they survived, and for now that is enough.]

[Haruka's been discharged from the hospital. She's not started taking shifts piloting yet, but she has started doing regular exercise. If you've been by the pool at all, you've seen her doing laps back and forth. She's ran around the entire L-boat a few times already today, so you might have seen that.

There's not too much to do on the L-boat, especially if you're not working as a pilot. Haruka's time has been pretty much completely devoted to working out, eating, and sleeping.

Catch her mid-exercise, or during a break?]

[Tohya wasn't sure what Festenia wanted when she dragged Coustwell out for a spin with him. Things were bustling with the mecha and supplies being moved to the L-Boat. Festenia wanting to train or pilot or even just punch stuff randomly in Coustwell was no surprise, so Tohya made no big deal of it. He probably should have noticed that she was slowly steering them towards the L-Boat, but she was distracting him with random crap. A few bungled maneuvers later and Coustwell had crashed.]

[It took them a while to get their bearings. Finding their way inside was tricky, but they managed. Festenia wanted to search around the area, they were obviously in an Alvis base, and neither of them had been allowed into those sections of the island previously. Obviously getting caught would ruin their fun, and though it was against his better judgement, Festenia could be rather... persuasive when she wanted to be.]

[The end result was that neither of them realized they were on the L-Boat rather than the island proper until after the launch, at which point there was nothing they could do about it. On the plus side, Coustwell was on the island to, so he could actually fight. Not that Tohya himself is necessarily happy about this.]

((Feel free to catch them at any point during this, but regardless of what happens, they ultimately end up on the L-Boat.))

It seems the more we do, the more enemies we make. Adventus, the Titans, the Festum, the Jovians, the Siberian Railway, the Federation, the Angels. Will this ever end?

And why can I pilot Coustwell? Why can Calvina pilot Belzellute? What does that mean? And why do I feel that by the end of this, another enemy will make itself known? An enemy which has something to do with the three girls and the machines we found.

[After the previous mission Ichitaka seems to have locked himself inside of Rushbird, rarely seen outside of it for several days. The machine itself would occasionally go out to do some zero-g training. It seemed like whatever it was Ichitaka didn't think it was important enough to tell anyone about it. In any case he wasn't able to keep it up and before long he can be found collapsed next to a hangar wall.]

There is much annoyance running through the man's mind for getting all but steamrolled by Graham during the mission, getting injured and of course Nadia putting a big "HEY!

Alright. Like Hayato said last week, everyone who plans to fight in Zero-G needs particular training. So far we've only run into trouble with people stupid enough to fight inside colonies, but there's always a chance we'll have to engage someone in an orbital battlefield as well.

Anyone who plans to fight while we're in space, report to the hangar for training. This goes for our new Mobile Suit pilots, too. Those are designed to fight in space, but you still have to get used to the lack of gravity. Make sure you've got proper oxygen seals and install some of the Thruster Modules we bartered from Nergal if your unit isn't normally spacefaring.

[Action]

[Unlike her few training sessions on the surface, of course, Calvina's assembling the crew inside the hangar. She's also going over final adjustments on Bellzelute for training - she might as well get some of her own practice in instead of just watching the kids play. It was a fairly simple task to turn the limiters up to the point where the energy weapons became simply tracers and to load the missile pods and rifle with paint rounds...]
