Re: Jump One: Unknown Location
As Kenzo entered the bridge he took no more than a few steps in before snapping to attention with a crisp salute, only dropping it when asked to join the Admiral over at the map station, once there he took a glance at the miniature hologram of the still ongoing battle around him, countless diminuative specks obiting several larger blobs of light, If the centerd color and blob was to be beleived as our current position or ship, then we were currently... On the winning side for once, unless this third color decided to start something...
After Stukov told him of the plans for the final Harbinger ships, Kenzo took a closer glance at the map Hologram, before answering...
"Is this gonna be a clean sweep? Or data retreival?"
Kenzo knew if they were going through the trouble of boarding the vessel it had to be for better intell, otherwise there'd be no reason not to destroy it... Unless...
"Or... Are we gonna be setting a trap, Sir?"
Kenzo knew that during the crippling process, the translight comms were usually destroyed, but that was usually tied in to the ships engines and almost always go offline at the same moment if not soon after... But maybe something could be used with there normal comm system...
And then Kenzo began feeing a pair of eyes boring into him, soon acompanyed by a hand to slap down on the map table beside his, Kenzo didn't even have to look to know it was Admiral Buckley, guy had it in for me scince... Well... Forever!
His suspicions were confirmed when a venomous if not extremely simplified declaration of what his mission was to be, accompanied with what could be considered one of the largest flops of his own military career...
(Tillan... An old asteroid based smuggling colony... A botched Intell Op, our unit walked right into an ambush, and took out almost half the unit with there pre-placed IED's... We had went in with over seven men, and ended up forced into an embarrassing retreat, dragging back the final three of them personally... Even with a round in my side... If memory serves correctly, one lapsed into a coma and died soon after, one lost a leg and was reassigned to the engineering division, and the third is still on active duty... Unless he couldn't get off world during the final days back home...
That Buckley would bringing this up means he's trying to provoke a reaction...? Lets play this HIS way then...)
"Oh, Admiral... I hardly noticed you there... And isn't lurking around beneath an officer of your stature? I find the habit a bit... Spookey..."
Kenzo makes sure to add an emphasis to the candid Internal Affairs slang term "Spooks"
His own veiled insult to match another, the exchange was cut short by a controll officer entering the bridge. At the new arrival Kenzo returned to a standing position instead of the slightly leaned one he had taken to gaze and study the Heatmap.
After the news that his Pegasus was already outfitted and ready for him and his team, He answered the Admirals with a crisp salute and exited the bridge to meet up with his unit.
Kenzo looks around, and with a grin, begins...
"We got ourselves a horse... We can charge as soon as everyones ready... Now... Who's up for boarding a Harbinger Vessel and taking the fight to them for once?"
Kenzo slides on his Helmet, the visor depolarises from opaque to transparent, so that everyone can still se him
"I'll meet whoevers coming in G-Hanger..."
And with that Captain Aramada set himself once more as a Green Nav point and began he walk to the G-Hanger... Readying himself for... Something that's... Never been done before...
