The Fall of Aomori

[ProwlerPC]

"Alright turn on the power!" shouted Jin'ko Hayate to the technician.

"Powering up weapons," replied the technician, "weapons systems online!"

"Yatta! (I did it!)" cheered the exhuberant young bomber ace to her assistant, "It's about time. Alright bring up the diagnostics on the computer and keep an eye on the readings, I want to see if can give it some tweaks here."

~2 hours later~

Jin'ko pretty much skipped her way back to her quarters. She was in a light mood, yes the dreadful situation on Aomari reminded her of the seriousness of the situation, but she couldn't help but feel a giddiness of anticipation as the assault to reclaim Aomari drew so near. The forces they were to go up against were supposed to be strong and well organized with little known about their technology and motivations.

She couldn't wait.

She wasn't a part of Aomari's defence when these Phantoms struck. No, instead she was ordered to stay at her post at Naha.

`Sigma-13 needs at least one experienced pilot to keep an eye on things.' they told her.

*Damn bureaucrats and now look where we are.* she thought *at least I'll get a chance at these Phantoms*

Jin'ko was young but her many early victories in large scale battles against both Outcasts and Corsairs bolstered the young ace's confidence. She knew she could rise up and defeat this threat. Gone were her fears, gone were her worries, gone were her distractions......only the hungry gleam in her eye remained.
