GC Tea House

[Ironwatsas]

Watsas watches the events unfolding around the station as the GC patrols and his own Communications drone make short work of the remaining Corsair fighters.

"The hell is that?" Watsas said, while petting one of the Lizard-cats affectionately.

"Hmmm... I guess we'd better send a rescue team out to sweep for survivors. No sense letting them go to waste."

Watsas pressed several buttons on his wrist-mounted control unit, which instructed his Drone ships to begin collecting the debris and surviving enemy pilots for recycling. They quickly and efficiently gathered the larger containers and some of the smaller bits and brought them back into Ainu's hangar bay.

As this activity continued, a lone Scimitar class fighter which was part of the GC defense screen, and had taken some minor hits landed in the secondary Hangar. It's pilot, a woman of medium build, sporting a plain flight suit with only occasional GC markings, climbed down off of the ship and walked into the Tea house. Watsas, in stark contrast to his usual demeanor, respectfully nodded at this particular woman, and continued co-ordinating his salvaging effort.

The Woman walked to one of the padded chairs and collapsed into it, apparently exhausted from the fight with the Corsairs. She closed her eyes for a moment, before turning and looking at the other people in the Tea house, who had mostly scrambled to their ships and were just now returning.

"Watsas-san, would you mind fetching me a small cup of sake, please? Cold." She asked.

"Mhm..." He acknowlaged, without his usual 'protest' at being asked or ordered to do something, and went to get the Sake, as he still continued to control his flotilla of salvage drones via his built-in command systems. It was apparent by Watsas' uncharacteristicly 'normal' behavior that this woman was distinctly abnormal.

Watsas handed her the cup of Sake and walked into the Hangar bay to inspect his newfound prize, the Containers recovered intact from that Train that had just passed. The woman simply watched as she sipped her Sake before turning her attention to the Holovision.

All that begins must end.
