"I guess it can't be helped. We'll see how it goes.
And something you should know.. I will tell Commander Sanada about all this. She's part of it already anyway."

The admiral raised an eyebrow. Seemingly not too excited about that.
"You think she can be trusted? She looks frivolous and oblivious."

Ishikawa nodded and spoke quietly.
"She's a soldier at heart. More than me."

"I trust your judgment.
An advice however. Do not let your emotions dictate your actions.
This is something we cannot afford."
Sakamoto still didn't seem too happy about it, whereas Ishikawa frowned.

"I know what I'm doing. What will the next steps be then?"

The admiral started walking up and down in the small room.

"You will be moving to Java station, Tau 23.
Using a civilian transportation line from Kyushu to Freeport 6, and then to Java.
A ship will be waiting you there, with the equipment needed.
What we need is a proof. A proof that Nagata is infected or isn't, i don't care which.
In order to get that proof, you will need to drop his ship's shields. I know he enjoys commanding his gunboat, nowadays."

Ishikawa listened silently.

"Great.. a gunboat. That will be hard to do alone."

The two men were standing there alone, the other personal was either with the Commander in the other room or had left already to give them privacy.

"A tokkeitai agent may help you. I do not know the details yet as the members of that organization always love to stay in the shadows
Ishikawa-san... This is a classified mission. Nobody must know you participated to it.
And another thing...
Getting captured isn't an option.
I'm sorry to have to put you in this situation, but in the event that ship will be destroyed, explosives will destroy its lifepod.

You still have the liberty to refuse that mission."
