Message Intercepted (Tag All on Dark Echos)

[Ryuusei Fuushino]

He acknowledged the wave, but didn't say much as he was trying to think of how to proceed. Space combat wasn't his specialty but if this were on the ground somewhere he may already have a laundry list of suggestions. Really only one thing was coming to mind and he was a bit hesitant to pitch the idea since he lacked the necessary skill to implement it himself.

"Perhaps we could hijack a couple of the escorts to help in the escape. Neri was already suggesting the Tenohs duke it out with the enemy's fighters. "Then we ditch them somewhere along the way, but rig'em to blow to cover out tracks."

[William Tenoh]

"Neri suggested that the Tenohs duke it out with the fighters, huh?" William asked Ryuusei. He heard something about the Tenohs engaging enemy fighters. That interested him.

"Neri has the right idea. Hayate and I will keep the fighters busy while you guys do your thing." William confirmed the wisdom of Neri. If there was anything he was good at, it was keeping enemy fighters at bay.

[Ada Mizuno]

"Yes. I believe that the Tenohs are well-qualified for that endeavor." Ada voiced her opinion after a lengthy silence. It was an obvious opinion, but she felt like she needed to voice it. William sometimes got a bad rap as a skirt-chaser with no sense of time management, but he was good at what he could do when put into a more serious situation.

"I will come along as the combat medic. There is likely to be a lot of lead and energy flying around, to say nothing of other potential sources of injury." Ada announced to the group. It was her duty to tend to the other royals and make sure that everyone made it back in one piece. It was not exactly like new royals could be cloned on demand. The royals the station had now would be all the royals the station ever had.

[Hayate Tenoh]

Hayate slowly climbed out of bed, took a shower, and got dressed... if a nondescript jumpsuit counted as dressing up. She strolled into the galley and noticed that something was seriously amiss.

William was here before she was.

William Tenoh. Was here. Before her.

"Uh... hi guys. What's going on?" Hayate asked before grabbing a cup of synthetic coffee. She could not believe that her younger brother was awake and somewhere before she was. She wondered what the occasion was. Most of the other royals were here, so it had to be something important.

[Neri Kaioh]

Neri looked at her older sister through narrowed eyes. She hated when people were late. Her fingers taped across the table as she looked at each of them. Everyone was more than ready to test their mantle. They had trained night and day for this very reason. She would be damned if they screwed it up.

"Nice of you to join us, sleeping beauty. It's a rescue mission where you get to shoot the bad guys. Think you can handle it?"

Her attention turned back to the maps and ships. She knew they do it as everyone seems to be on board. "Any thing to add with the plan Mizuki? We should be able to determine more of where the prisoner is once we get to closer."

[Mizuki Tsukino]

Mizuki looked at all the data taking into account the distance of reinforcements and most of all the predicted speed and intensity of the ion storm.

“Annika transpose fleet movements over the intelligence we possess with current force movements and planetary forces.”

The holographic projection came up and showed possible movements of ships but the mainly the compliment of the ships with fighters and weaponry. She considered it for a few moments before she sighed and looked harder at it.

“If the commander approves it would be tight. We could do it if we disable their communications first. Ada can you dit several missiles with with ion charges? “

As long as they didn’t have a connection with any command element when they started their strike. They would be fine.

“Hayate and William do you think you can handle the fighters and also dissuade them from leaving or moving to assist the command ship of the convoy?”

Annika assigned targets. Mizuki shook her head.

“No they need to draw them closer to the path of the ion storm. Our ship will be hardened for the storm. The destroyers won’t be. They will move to assist their fighters and well the more they pursue you the further they are away from the prison ship.”

Annika assigned them and smiled at William and Hayate.

“You two have that right?”

She then waited for anyone else to give other ideas.

“Chi you can be on station to assist them until we are 5 minutes from evac to leave?”
