Fujimoto strolls down the Nagasaki's hallway, taking in the beautiful predated paintings on the walls. She keeps thinking to herself*What some kind of peaceful place this is for an imperial warship, maybe thats the impression Kusari liked to make, peaceful yet deadly*She puts the unnecessary thought aside for now and heads towards Nagasaki's hanger bays, looking for her Sutinga fighter, she greets the guard as she walks in, then fumbles around in her pockets for a few minutes searching for the right code, cursing vaguely under her breath about idiots and "This is why I need more tea"
Fujimoto wiggles into the cockpit of her vessel and closes the hatch, looking around quickly before not turning the ship on but hitting the comm's, making a call to a rather important contact, waiting for the call to connect, saying the name in her head so she wouldnt screw it up*Kiyoshi Sato, Kiyoshi Sato, come on Fuji, you CAN say his name right, lets be official and not disappoint the rear admiral*Soon the mans face appears on the screen and Fuji smiles, then clears her throat.
Konn'ichiwa Mr. Sato, apologies for my sudden call, I wanted to contact you on that little arrangement we discussed in the comm, please tell me the specifics so we can get on this as soon as possible.
Fuji sits back and puts a hand to her chin, listening to the Samura rep begin to drone, then suddenly has another thought*Y'know, if Hitomi wanted me to contact someone, she could have at least gotten a more energetic person... ugh, i going to need a lot of tea later*
Yet another cloudy day on Planet Kurile, and yet again spiced with a bit of toxicity. All the usual one might say but for Kiyoshi today was different day from the others. A delicate operation involving support of the Emperors forces needed to be handled... with delicacy.
Kiyoshi was sitting in his chambers on board one of the Kurile extraction platforms thinking about the moves he would made in the coming times. He was thinking in him self:
''Since that transport would be moving through Kyushu, we would have a wonderful opportunity to shift the complete blame on the those traitorous Dragons or those crazy feminist women always looking for some rights. Convoys have been intercepted in Kyushu before by them coming out of Seiran dust cloud.
Now about the crew, *uh* what to do with them...? We could invent some names and biographies and after the incident classify them as lost in actions. *Hm* when I think about this there is a good chance to pull this off without raising any suspicion.''
As Kiyoshi was thinking suddenly a communication board lit up and showed an incoming transmission with scrambled frequencies. He opened it and to his unsuspected surprise recognized miss Fujimoto Sachiyo from the transmission some time ago appearing on the visual screen.
After listening to her brief speech and exchanging a few polite sentences he started with presentation of the mission operation plan:
*Miss Sachiyo, this operation we are about to pull off mustn't in any way lead back to either Emperor's forces or Samura willingly handing over the transport. We all know where it could all lead... a complete catastrophe. With that part out of the way, I will switch to the plan's details.
The Big Dragon class transport outfitted with all standard equipment plus some cargo, such as repair materials, ammunition, spaceship fuel and we will figure out what else to put in it, will head for Kyushu system from Yokohama Shipyard to supposedly deliver it's cargo to Tsushima Depot. The cargo manifest will on the other hand be classified as station repair materials. On the way to Tsushima Depot will intercept that Samura transport and pull it out of the trade lane. Make sure to leave the evidence of the weapons fire with Dragon signature all over the place so that when Naval Forces, Police and the rescue crafts arrive they can clearly identify Dragons as the full to blame abductors, destroyers of civilian vessels and whatever else we can pin on them.
Through some back ways I'm sure you know you should avoid all traffic within Kyushu system and at best possible speed proceed to your end destination which I suppose is Tau-29. When there make sure to secretly offload the crew to already awaiting passenger shuttles at Shinkaku Station. The crew of the transport knows how to handle in the situation they will go through so you don't have to worry about them being rookies, we hand picked them. Also, they were already given instructions about the plan and have made the cover up stories for their absence.
I hope that wraps things up on our end, with transport, cargo, crew and all other I mean. If you have any questions this is the time to ask them, I have time to give answers to them now.*
With all that said, Kiyoshi leaned back in his chair and awaited miss Sachiyo to start talking...
Fuji nods along as Kiyoshi speaks, listening intently to the plan"Its a venerable plan, and quite a thorough one. We'll also make sure that an escort brings the ship in, for safety reasons"She pulls out a thermos of tea, opens it, and takes a brief sip before looking back "Once we have the transport in our hands in Tau-29 we will arrange your crews transportation at Shinkaku, oh anf by the way, your 30 million for doing this will await you on the shuttle at Shinkaku"She winks and pulls up a screen of the Big Dragon transport, a holographic image rotating before her "I do have a just one question though, exactly how much suspicion do the Naval Forces have on you at this point? You've done quite a bit for us, we appreciate it, yet we wonder for your groups white name back home"Fuji looks from the holograph to the screen, her eyes looking towards the screen in a curious manner.
After a few questions from Fuji, Kiyoshi elaborated a few more details of the plan.
*You have presented some valid points there for this plan. I have tried to cover all the angles of this plan and to implement backups in case even the slightest discrepancies occur.
As far as we know, and we know much, there is no evidence that either the Government or the Naval Forces know or have any clue of our agenda. We have gone to great lengths to ensure this secrecy. If all bits and peaces fall into treir places this plan will work perfectly.
As for Samura personnel operating that transport, do keep them safe. They consider the Imperial Forces as the sole defenders of Kusari, heroes. Give them the datapad with credits and a ride to Shinkaku and they will be happy to have helped the cause.
I will be monitoring this operation to ensure things go smoothly.
Kiyoshi leaned back and thought about final preparations as he awaited Fuji to lay her final preparations of the plan.
Fuji listens to the Samura rep, making the calculations in her head for the final details of the mission"Its good to hear the government has had no suspicions of your cooperation with us, and that makes our mission all the easier. And also about your men operating the transports, they will be protected, any believers in the cause of the Imperials earn honor and respect from us, so we will make sure they arrive safely and are given the credits once they arrive. After the men bring the transport to Shinkaku we will have a crew of Exiles ready to bring in the ship to our base."Fuji nods and smiles at the Samura rep as she finishes her final thoughts on the plan "Now I suppose all we need to do now is organize this convoy, I will have men ready for this soon, and we await for when you have your end up and running"She looks at the Samura rep, Kiyoshi was his name right? right. Fuji looks at the rep and waits to hear the final words from him before moving onto the execution portion of the plan
Kiyoshi started telling the fine details of the plan.
*We have set a date and time for this operation. It's happening on 19.12.822 19:00 SMT. Samura transport will depart Yokohama Shipyard at earlier time and head for C,D/3,4 coordinates in New Tokyo, somewhere behind Planet Kitadake and will use it geomagnetic field to obscure it's signature. Your ship should meet our transport there. After rendezvous, you will be leading the convoy to Shinkaku Station. On the way through Kyushu make sure to stop by somewhere on the lanes and drop some ship debris littered with Blood Dragon weapons fire. Our transport will be carrying those.
I will be awaiting your transmission, after the convoy has reached Shinkaku Station. That would be all.
Until next transmission...
Kiyoshi leaned back after presenting the flight details and awaited Fuji's approval of the plan.
Fuji listens to the Samura rep and smiles upon him finishing the description of the convoy"Excellent, I myself will rendevous with you in New Tokyo, we will fly to Tau 29 littering the debris and then meet up with a squadron of exiles at Shinaku, they will prepare your docking priveleges for the Nagasaki there"Fuji leans back pleased with herself about the plan "Its on, we'll make sure this carries through correctly, always an honor to communicate with our allies in Samura, we look forward to flying with you soon"Fuji hits the end transmission button on the ships comm and gets out of the Sutingas cockpit, smiling to herself as she walks toward the bridge of the Nagasaki, prepping escorts for the convoy
