GC Tea House

[Ironwatsas]

Naomi was about to make a reply outlining Sisterhood Camaraderie and offer to help Shikyo acquire a new ship, when Shikyo kissed her. Naomi was flustered, slightly shocked. Her thoughts raced for a brief moment, as she stared into Shikyo's eyes, blushing, with a confused expression.

However, her confusion warmed into a smile, and she returned the kiss softly. Then, she looked around, checking for security cameras and any passers' by.

"H..Hai..." She replied, leading Shikyo back toward her quarters. Her pace quickening as she heard footsteps coming down an adjacent hallway.

Back in the Tea House

Suddenly, the holovision in the center of the room, which was previously displaying some sort of Libertonian pop-drama about Vampires, flickered and changed. The image blurring and displaying a series of Consortium symbols, strange letters and numbers.

Suddenly, the image changed again, revealing none other then the Tea House's old agent provocateur, Ironwatsas.

The holographic image of Watsas grabbed the attention of everyone in the room. He looked around, noticing among other things, a Phantom, a Clearly Overdosed GC pilot, a regular Consortium grunt in Steve's place, and Lady Kurisho and Naomi strangely absent.

"Ladies and Gentlewomen, I am sending an important piece of hardware to Ainu to assist in training for upcoming operations. A Holographic environment simulation & spacial compression chamber. I want both Sisterhood and Consortium personell to cross-train within. We need coordination and inter-operational capacity for upcoming operations against Kusari."

"Umm... you're sending a What!?" One of the GC in the room asked.

"A Holo-deck.

Some assembely required.

Now, ya'll will need t' put it together and link it to my Lab's old computer system for it to work. It'll work off of pre-loaded training scenarios and provide a realistic environment simulator. Just remember, it is not a toy.

It'll be there within the week. Watsas out.

We now return to your regularly scheduled programming."

With that, Watsas' holographic image disappeared, and the holovision returned to it's normal state, leaving a number of people in the Tea house confused and oddly terrified, realizing that another apocalypse was likely on it's way.

All that begins must end.
