GC Tea House

[Shikyo]

Days later two of Ainu's ranking Security officers were going over the reports they had been able to gather so far on the events that happened outside of Ainu between Lady Kurisho and Miss Kitten. Some of what they have read did not seem to add up to them, and some of the information was either lacking in proper details or seemed to be confused reports of other events that seem some how linked to the attack but not directly either.

So, let me get this right, so far we have confirmed readings that both ships were docked together at some point. There was communication between both ladies involved and apperently there were possibly two more in witness to the conversation that sparked the fight. And, if I understand this right The Lady invited the girl on board before they got into the fight that resulted in their injuries.

Hai, that we have so far, though details seem lacking as to who those additional witnesses were, or the exact conversation that took place before the ships docked together prior to the incident.

Indeed, what I do not understand is why the Comms Officer did not have a data log for us to read since the conversation did happen just off station not even a few hundred meters away.

Ah, I had some of the techs look into that already. Apperently the conversation did get recorded as per usual proceedure, but by the time our techs arrived, the Officer in charge of that shift has
gone off duty and the data recorded was missing. We questioned the officer and she said that the Data was not touched by her or any of the staff on duty at that time.

Strange. Did you have the techs look into reconstruction of the data recorder?

Already thought of that and we did. What makes this difficult is the recorder we recovered is completely brand new. There was nothing on it covering that day. Judging by the time stamps and data it did have, it was taken by some one not mroe than a day after the event happened. Questioing of the Staff and Officers has concluded that it was taken between command shifts and by some one exceptionaly skilled. In short, no one saw anything happen. Not even our own internal Security Cams saw anything.

Even our systems? Strange. If it were to be believed, I would almost think that creations of Watasa might be involved, you know it seems to have a keen interest in keeping the Sisterhood in order and harmony...well, as much as it can ever be with the new troubles coming from the...

A younger and very junior Officer bursts into the conferance room that the two men occupied for their meeting, he seems to be very flustered and almost out of breath. The older men both glare at the junior officer. Sir! Thousand apologies, I had to come up and tell you in person something we'd just discovered.

Spit it out quickly and it had better be very good or you will be finding yourself mind some very unpleasent tasks in your very soon to be furture.

Hai Sir. One of the Sisters requested to see the weapons apperently used in the incident outside of Ainu and we discovered both items to be missing. Considering some of the rumors that I have heard, I checked and found that all data concerning the blade that belonged to Lady Kurisho and the Hold-out Pistol of Miss kitty also was no longer available.

WHAT? Are you absolutely sure? Did you check the security footage to be sure?

Hai, both the digital recorders and the live feed systems checked over in detail. Either they have been tampered with by some one of the highest calibur or, and I apologise and do not wish to assume, neither item was ever truely entered into the system.

One of the men rises from his seat with a dark scowl on his face, glancing to his friend and fellow officer, I will look into this personally right now. This is getting too strange to be a simple incident. In mean time double the Security on both Lady Kurisho and Miss Kitty at once. If the Elders see fit to question this, remind them it is for their safety as well as our own.

The other Security officer nods and also rises, quickly gathering up the reports that they had been reviewing, and considering the alarming fact that the weapons used were now both missing, he did not wish to see the reports he had vanish as well. A quick thought to himself he nods once more, intent on locking up what was left in the Security Office where he expect only a very select few would have access, and thus easier to prevent their loss.

-Hanger Bay 9X-

One of the Hanger Bay cheifs is speaking with a member of his team,"Ok, let me get this right, there was a Bomber here for the last several days. It was damaged to the point it should not be able to fly. AND the last known owner is Miss Winters yet her own fighter is kept in the regular hanger bay, not down here. Anything I am not understanding so far?"

The younger sister looks at her data pad, then back at the Cheif, "That is correct. According to what we have, the prior owner apperently gave the Bomber to Winter after some unstated dispute between the two pilots. According to what the Techs have here when they went to do regular Maintence, they found the cockpit and both primary and secondary computer systems were utterly destroyed by what appears to have been a thermal device of some sort."

"Oh. Good, I am glad I am not completely out of my mind then. So, how do we explain the loss of a ship that was tagged and Out of Commission from a high security bay AND explain to its supposed current owner that its not here anymore should she have chosen to have it repaired and ready to fly?"

"That Sir is beyond my paygrade, I guess thats why they made you Cheif and not me."

"Oh the sass I have to put up with you girls everyday. *SIGH* great. Then guess what You get to do? You get to write the report itself to submit to Winter AND the Elders, and i want it done by end shift today." The Cheif smirked a bit that, but still knows a lot of unpleasent questions will come from both the bombers current owner and the Elders as to why ships are vanishing as of late with little to no reason at all.

Whaaa? but...Fine. It'll be done. The Sister looks grumpy but he was the Cheif and ultimately could hand out work like that. She shakes her head and turns away to hurry to a small office and start in on the paper work for hoping to herself she will have enough time to get all the proper forms done before the Cheifs deadline.
