[Admiral Yamato]

**OOC** Likewise, man. :D Can't wait til next summer... so far away....

**IC**
After the initial stage of panic passed over, Kusari officials frantically waged a war against the media in a attempt to censor the gory broadcast reverberating through the airwaves. The Kusari government was in a state of chaos, hindered by excessive bureaucrats and red tape.

The only effective measure undertaken was the mobilization of the entire Hokkaido 2nd Squadron, which was dispatched with two battleship groups to impede any escape from the Kyushu system.

Elsewhere, in an underground facility on New Tokyo which officially did not exist, the staff and government agents of Unit 450i milled over a series of papers, maps, and diagrams covered in symbols and lines. Illuminated by only one central light fixture, the room was shrouded in an unnerving darkness.

"Where do you think he'll go?" asked one man in a calm, inhuman voice.

"Either Tau 29 or 31 seems logical... but we can never been certain with one like him."

A third added, "The probability of the subject fleeing back to Kusari space seems highly unlikely. Even he would not be so irrational."

A door, invisible in the darkness of the room, suddenly opened allowing for a sudden expanse of light to filter in the room. The men inside winced, their eyes accustomed to the dark. A Kusari Army officer walked in and silently handed over a portfolio to the first man, who was quite clearly the highest ranking of the three.

"Are these the files?"

The officer nodded and excused himself, closing the door on his way out. The room was dark once more.



"These pictures were obtained from the video footage that was broadcast. We have added them to the profile archives and are having our experts analyze them for any information that may prove useful."

"Good," said the first man. "Hakkaido's 1st Fleet, 2nd Extermination Squadron has been assigned to find and subdue the subject. Though it is doubtful that they will be successful."

The three men seemed agitated. "He has been a trouble to us for far too long. We must stop him before he flees to Bretonia. What other measures have been taken?"

"Well," the second man said quietly, "we have relisted him as one of the top fugitives in Kusari, alongside General Nakazawa. Although we already have Nakazawa in custody, sometimes it is best to give the public a scare. They will be more willing... to submit to our authority."

The third added, "we have also limited access to and from Kusari systems. Unfortunately, there is little we can do about the Bretonian border, due to our untimely conflict with the savages."

Angrily, the first man slammed his fist onto the table. "This is not enough. We cannot allow him to escape. You leave me no choice but to execute Order X777."

"But sir, it is not ready. She cannot be deployed until we have integrated--"

"Then, Tokei-Tai General, I recommend you do everything in your power to ensure that she is ready for deployment. Or it will be your head on the line when Yamato escapes."

"Yes, sir," said the second man in defeat. He motioned toward the third, whispering, "Contact Unit 450b. Authorize immediately neural transplant and initiate downloading of combat training programs 003-245. Skip the second development stage. Do whatever you have to but make sure it is ready for action." He quickly added, "Just remember, we need Yamato alive."

Uneasily, the third man nodded and left the room, temporarily bathing it in light.

The first man, calm as ever, absently gestured to the door in reference to the third man and muttered, "When he has finished his orders, kill him. No one can know of this." With that, he also exited the room, leaving the second man quivering in his seat.
