Location: Tau-23 System, Contested Space
Subject: For those we've left behind, Our Brothers in Arms.
The Pudica's camera is focusing around the system, searching for the remains of Kaddish, a Crayter Republic vessel that had went down a hour ago.
"He said 5F, if I recall correctly." Honya says to Nodoka, reminding her of the location of the ship.
The camera focuses on a derlict ship in the distance, with a Crayterian Republic roundel on its' side. The three of them look onwards as the other camera shows them, in shock at the wreckage. "My god..." Nodoka speaks up.
"One Challenger did all that?" Pale Bride speaks up in shock. The large transport lays along a large asteroid, a massive hole in its' left side. "That's the ship.. the Kaddish. It's squawking it's Name and IFF still, so life support might still be intact aboard the ship in some parts. I highly advise immediate exfiltration of all crew. There's no time to stick around, unless we want to be fish food for whoever shot down that transport." Honya says, chiming up after the shock hits her and the rest of the crew of the Pudica. "No contacts on FCS or Passive Radars, We're clear to proceed." Pale Bride reports. The Pudica inches closer to the ship, aligning its' auxiliary exit with the hole in the Kaddish's hull. Inside, Nodoka is seen donning a space suit, as well as grabbing her SMG and Proton Rifle. The ship shakes as it hits up against the hull of the Kaddish. "Sorry about that - We're prepared for exfiltration procedure." Honya says over the intercom.
The view switches to the camera onboard Nodoka's suit.
"I'll be back - keep the lights on for me." Nodoka replies, stepping into the airlock. She then hits the button to open the airlock. the door behind her shuts, only seconds later for the front door to open, exposing her to vacuum. She stands on the border of the airlock and the frigid space outside of it, and grasps the tether hook, pulling it tight to make sure it's secured. "Right. Here we go!" She says, using the ship's hull to push herself forward, she crouches and jumps into the Kaddish's hull, seeing a large part of its' cargo hold obliterated, small amounts of cargo and the remains of some deceased personnel floating about. "My god... they showed no mercy to these poor bastards..."She senses a light to the left of her, a barely functioning security door, the door flashing red, stating that it is locked. "If these guys know spacefaring procedures, they should still be in the bridge or somewhere other than wherever is behind that door. " Nodoka says to herself, using the thrusters onboard her suit to move towards the door. "Honya, can you hack this door?" She says over the radio.
"I can try, but no promises. Standby." she says, "Thermal imaging on the aft guns reports no presence in that room. It should serve well as a makeshift airlock." Pale bride adds, analysing the situation behind the door. "You know, I honestly wish I could have stayed to talk more with that guy back on Canaria.. he was cute." Nodoka says, breaking from the topic at hand. "Yes, that's all nice and lovey-dovey and all, Hanamura-sensei, but there are lives on the line. We should focus on the crew of the Kaddish." Honya retorts, not interested in discussing boys. "Sorry, sorry. Was just trying to break the tension. You have that door open yet?" Nodoka asks. "I'm trying, the security system is being a little difficult.... There." The light turns green as the door opens, the vacuum blasting Nodoka away as it sucks out the air from the room, sending her against a crate. "Hanamura-sensei! SITREP!" Honya calls out, sensing some sort of injury from her owner's suit.
"I'm alright... god above, should have stood clear of that one, huh?" Nodoka says. A sigh of relief from the two AI are heard. "Thank god she's okay.." Pale Bride responds. "In hindsight, yes, you should have, but either way, the door is open. I'll shut it once you're inside." Honya says to her owner, urging her to proceed. "Right.. onward." Nodoka says, proceeding towards the door. She removes the tether after she is someways inside. "Close the door. I'll retether before we unseal the room." she finishes, cuing Honya to shut the door with the tether in its' metal jaws. affixing the Pudica to the ship by a line. The Room fills back up with air, repressurizing it.
"Commencing 3D Scan.... Scan complete, data uploaded to your suit, Hanamura-sensei. The Bridge is directly above the room you're in. Biosigns report everyone is there, save for those who seem either recently deceased or unconscious." Honya says, Nodoka grabs her SMG from her back, and aims it towards her front. watching her surroundings. "Keep your eyes out for contacts. I don't want to float home to Freeport 11." Nodoka says to her AI, as she moves up the stairs in the back of the room, heading towards the bridge.
"You think they came back for us? Sell us as slaves or some crap?" one voice is heard on the feed.
"No, I don't think so.. Radar and RX transponder is dead, so even if it's a Nomad or one of our own, we should be cautious."
"You think the nomads might send someone? to.. you know..."
"We're nowhere near Nomad space, will you relax? God, you're such a worrier, Lopez!"
"Kobayashi, How's Karl holding up?"
"He's okay, but he's out of it, I don't know when he'll come to, though."
Nodoka finishes up the stairs, moving through the corridor to the Bridge. the voices continue to be heard on the feed.
"You hear that? They're close."
"La Pointe, grab your gun. Be ready to shoot if you have to."
"Right."
"This seems to be it.." Nodoka says, standing before the door to the bridge.
"I'm hearing chatter from the bridge's communications, They seem anxious. Knock and declare yourself before you enter." Honya says to her owner, concerned about the situation aboard the Kaddish.
Nodoka knocks on the large door, warning the personnel of her immediate presence.
"Who is it?" says one of them.
"This is Nodoka Hanamura, Freelancer of the Pudica. I'm here because of the transmission your captain sent on the Bounty channel for the Tau-44 Aid mission. I'm here to get you boys back home. Open up the door and get yourselves ready." She yells to the crew. "We're saved! Thank the gods, we're flipping saved!" says one of them. "La Pointe, open the door!" says another. "Right, on it!" La Pointe says. slight tapping is heard on the door as it's opened. The white light from the corridor behind her envelops Nodoka, giving visual backing of her presence being that of a savior, the Bridge dark sans the neighboring light, as the window's view is blocked by the asteroid it rests on, with some injured and unconscious persons among those still alive. She holsters her SMG, placing it on her back alongside her Proton Rifle. "Okay, how many do we have alive here, and who needs medical aid?" Nodoka asks, wondering how many people will need to be transported. "8 people, Ma'am. 2 are out, including our captain, Karl Seven, and 2 are injured. The only ones still up and able are me, Lopez, Kobayashi and La Pointe." the man says. "And you are?" Nodoka asks the man in question. "Alexei Korolov, Crayterian Military, Serial Number 190240AE, Acting Captain of the Kaddish, miss." Alexei answers. "Okay. In that case from now until I have you back on Crayterian soil, you're answering to me. Any objections?" Nodoka declares, showing her intent to keep the crew together and alive. The four personnel look to each other, showing some doubt, only to realize it's either now or never, given that the reactor could die at any time. The three behind Alexei nod at him giving approval to Nodoka taking the helm. "Alright, you have the lead, Ma'am." Alexei responds. "Good. Whoever is in charge of the reactor, go ahead and commit to the SCRAM procedure to shut down the reactor. We don't want to make another irradiated hellhole in Sirius. Get those who are unconscious or wounded into space suits and prepare them for extraction. Once you're suited up and everything's done, I'll have my AI go ahead and seal the bridge and open the door I came out of." Kobayashi and La Pointe proceed to shut down the reactor while Lopez and Korolov prepared the injured and unconscious for extraction. Nodoka monitors both teams to make sure everything is done correctly, Only minutes later to feel a shake. "Honya, What the hell's going on out there?" Nodoka calls over the radio.
"Gallic Royal Navy, they're engaging us!" Honya responds. "Bookworm, deploy the Nanobots to keep the hull from falling apart, I'll Blast what I can of these bastards. Hanamura, I'll do What I can, but you guys have to get out of there, NOW, unless you want to be mounted on the King's wall along with the rest of his dissidents!" Pale Bride says to her owner, frustrated with her vulnerable position. Nodoka looks to the crew, still doing what they can to wrap things up on the Kaddish. "We have to get going now, everyone. Gallia's knocking at the door and wanting us for a trophy." Nodoka says to them. "What about the others that are dead? Aren't we going to recover them?" Kobayashi, says, her eyes slightly glistening in the light of the corridor. "If time and facts permitted, I would have us do so, but we don't have time to recover them, lest we want to join them whilst we do so. We need to go." The Maintenance Officer turns her head downward. Her commander responds, "As much as it goes against our beliefs and even our motto of the Crayterian Military, It would be foolish to sit here and die, especially after we've wasted Miss Hanamura's time getting us out of here to begin with. I'm sorry Mariko, but we have to go." The woman breaks down in tears. "My Brother.. He was in one of the compartments.. that got hit.. Please... at least save him..." She says, pleading to Nodoka. She sighs, sympathizing with her, and finally responds. "Very well. I'll grab your brother. Which room is he in?"
"He's in the Mess Hall.. I'll.. I'll show you... once we're out." The woman's tears stop running, still upset over her brother's death. "Korolov, is everyone ready?" Nodoka says, as explosions are heard outside. "Hanamura, we've got Gallic reinforcements incoming, and they're packing heat. These Dulzians can only do so much, so let's am-scray, damn it! I don't want to die out here, and neither does Bookworm!" Pale Bride screams to Nodoka over the radio. "Alright, Alright. We're coming." Nodoka says to the radio. She then speaks to the crew. "Everyone grab one of the injured or knocked out. I'll grab Miss Kobayashi's Brother on our way out. We can't stay any longer, from the sounds of it, we've got either Bombers or Capships incoming, and my Serenity's Dulzians can't pick a fight with either. We HAVE TO GO." She says to them, in as stern a voice as she can, resonating through the room. "Right. I'll take Karl, everyone else, pick a body and follow Miss Hanamura." Korolov says to his men. Each of them proceed to fireman carry a body, and follow Nodoka down the stairs to the mess hall, where she was originally. They stand before the exit to the ship. Kobayashi points to her brother's body, laying on a table, alongside several other bodies. "Th--the...there..." she says, barely able to speak without bursting into tears at the sight of her brother. Nodoka moves over to the dead man, a depressed look on her face. "Why did god tear apart this family.. She looks like a wreck now that he's gone.." Nodoka says to herself, moments later, picking up the body gently, and carrying him to the door. She then proceeds to grasp the tether on the ground, and latch it to her suit. "Everyone be ready to be pushed out. Once you're in the cargo hold, follow me to my ship. Once everyone's aboard we're leaving." She then calls to Honya. "Honya, do it."
"Right." Honya says, slamming all of the doors in the ship that are operating, leaving the mess hall without an exit. "Room Depressurizing in 5." Honya says on the radio. "5 seconds, Get ready!" The crew don their helmets and make a V formation, with Nodoka at point. "3. 2. 1. NOW!" Honya calls out, as the door opens rapidly, air being sucked out of the room, alongside the team of 5. Nodoka enables a light on her suit, and moves towards the Pudica. "GRN Bomber and... Oh ****.. Gunboats, 15KSU on the plane, inbound at a rate of 300 Sirian units a second, Hanamura-sensei, hurry!" Honya cries out, in fear of her life as the Gallic Battlegroup approaches at breakneck speed. The crew and their compatriots who are unable to, move with Nodoka to the ship. Nodoka lands her feet onto the airlock, and signals to the others to hurry as fast as they can. Kobayashi, La Pointe and Lopez follow inside, as Korolov, carrying their Captain, falls short of the airlock as a result of a failing RCS pack. Nodoka sees him in distress and passes Kobyashi's brother to Lopez, and jumps back off the Pudica, rushing towards him. She grabs his hand, and tugs on the line, causing it to pull her back to the Pudica. "Honya, Go! Go! Move!" Nodoka yells to the Navigation AI, who then moves the ship away from the Kaddish, and starts up the cruise engines. The tether drags Nodoka, Alexei and an Unconscious Karl closer to the ship as it begins it's departure, nearly 30 yards from the airlock.
"This is gonna be close.." Pale Bride is heard saying on the radio. Seconds before the cruise engine fires off, Nodoka hangs onto the door to the airlock, and throws Alexei and Karl inside by her only free hand, which was used to keep them attached to her and the ship. She climbs inside the Pudica, and slams the pressurization button. The door closes behind them as they narrowly escape the clutches of the Gallic Navy, at the cost of leaving behind the Kaddish and its' deceased personnel. The door to the rest of the ship opens. "Move your butts to the Galley, I'm taking the helm." Nodoka says, rushing to her seat in the cockpit, as the others follow her to the main deck, moving behind her to the Galley, carrying their deceased, wounded and unconscious colleagues with them. "Honya, get us on a bearing and azimuth to the Tau-44 Hole, and make it quick. Bride, instigate EW and Jam their communications. I don't want them following us." Nodoka commands to the two holograms before her. The two AIs' Holograms nod as they tend to their jobs, the ship moving as fast as it can towards Crayterian Space.
