Briefing

[Yaoquizque]

They departed from New Tokyo early in the day. It was one of those bright mornings foreigners used to be uncomfortable with, the light emitted by the vigorous sun bouncing on the great ocean's waves and on the structures surfaces those tiny ants called humans were building everywhere they had a chance.

He gazed once again with nostalgia at this spectacle before entering in the hold of the Chimaera. Those mornings were always reminding him home.

As soon as he took place in the cockpit, a mocking voice made its way to him.
"Can't believe you're still landed. Well, i shouldn't be surprised, after all. Men are so slow. If our forces were exclusively made of women, we would have cast those dirty Gallics out of Sirius sector. years ago already."

He let her go on, smiling slightly. There was always a point when she would grow tired. That point reacher, he said :
"I'm doing the routine checks before taking out. You shouldn't take those safety measures lightly."
"And what makes you think i did? Now come on. Hurry up. I want to see Admiral stupid demoting you to ensign so that you can become my slave again. I wonder what i would ask you first.."

"Not so fast, 'sunshine'." replied the officer as the Chimaera was taking off and getting to the planet low orbit.
"Come on! I'm already near Shinjuku."
"Did you even listen to me before you took off?"
"Of course."
"Then you do know we will gather with a flotilla coming from Honshu before heading to Kyushu, hmm?"

There was only silence on the secured line for a while.
"Junko?"
"I'm 99% sure you didn't tell me."
"I did."
"You didn't."

The man shrugged in his cockpit.
"So let's rendez-vous near Shinagawa, miss '99%'."
