"All units return to the Fury!" Lieutenant Romav's voice called out over the comm, Tyrius looked back seeing their Rick Dom IIs being accompanied by two of Shale's escaping HiZacks. The blue Kaempfer of Lieutenant Romav hung against the stars for a moment longer, but Tyrius was gone, lost in a sea of anger for a moment. His Gelgoog's thrusters fired up for a moment as if he meant to accelerate after Zarn's squadron, sending the Gelgoog R momentarily back towards Axis, maybe for a hundred meters or so before its thrusters fired again, propelling it towards the Abyssal Fury, it looked like a bouncing ball that ricocheted off a wall and moved at speed back towards the Abyssal Fury. Tyrius snarled audibly, switching to a private comm to Lieutenant Romav, "We should have engaged them," his voice had a feral quality to it as he spoke, adding in "Sir" as an afterthought to his statement.<br/><br/>Tyrius docked the Gelgoog R, the hatch opened with a mechanical hiss as the air seals opened and he exited into the hanger, looking around he saw pilots he didn't know, the two HiZacks were interesting machines that resembled a Zaku II, though with some clear upgrades, particularly to their thruster arrays. The Kaempfer was an imposing looking mobile suit, clearly of Zeon design aesthetics. The Fury's contingent of Rick Dom IIs was small, numbering only 4, but all together they had a respectable 8 mobile suits aboard the Fury. Another 8 aboard Commander Freya's Zanzibar, they had enough firepower they should have simply taken out the Axis squad that attacked them he reasoned.<br/><br/>His blonde hair flowed behind him as he stormed towards the Assembly Station, looking over to Romav as he disembarked his Kaempfer, "Maybe I was mistaken, but I thought we were going to be fighting and killing our enemies sir," his voice was rife with a certain smug and arrogant tone that was almost intended to ruffle the feathers of the grizzled veteran.<br/>********************************<br/>Jaryk stood at the front of the Assembly Room, a holographic display in the table showed a 3D rendering of Solomon. "Konpeitoh Arsenal, the test facility renamed by the Federation. Originally this was a Zeon research facility, but when we lost at Solomon we lost much of the research that was being done there. As we were forced to withdraw our forces further and further back before ending our flight at Axis we lost several such sites. But it is Solomon that is the most important, it holds great value to both sides. Our first order will be to carry out a strike on a supply caravan that is located here." Jaryk used a slender rod to point at a specific selection of coordinates in the Sea of Solomon, on the Earth facing side of the Asteroid base. "Somewhere in here is our prey, our target contains 15 support Columbus class ships as well as two Salamis class cruisers that likely have a contingent of mobile suits. If our reports are correct, those ships are carrying extremely important cargo, both the raw Gundarium to make new high performance mobile suits..." He paused and looked around the room, "It is also believed that the Titans are transporting supplies for new weapons that can be used to target the installations under Zeon control. We don't know exactly what they're planning, but we must act quickly. Be on stand by, but until then you are dismissed."<br/>***************************<br/>Romav: Hearing the arrogance of Tyrius Garrou do you remind him that you are a superior officer and that he should show proper decorum? Do you physically confront him allowing your anger and the fire that burns in your heart take over? Do you commiserate with the younger pilot acknowledging that you too wish you could have taken a stand in that moment, but remind him that their purpose is one that dictates they cannot sell their lives cheaply. Do you ignore him completely? Do you interact with Jaryk after the assembly?<br/><br/>Garrou: Do you continue your petty complaints or provide some comments of any productive value? Knowing that you are heading towards real combat what is your reaction? Are you chomping at the bit or silently nervous as the last time you really saw combat many of your friends died? Do you interact with any of the other pilots there.<br/><br/>ALL: You are free to move about the ship, The Zanzibar is off limits for the time being as it is captained by Commander Freya and manned by his crew. The pilots of the Zanzibar's mobile suit squadron are aboard the Fury at the moment, feel free to interact with them as you see fit (and make up descriptions for them as well.) The only place you cannot go is into the locked hangar that only Captain Jaryk has access codes to. Do you ask him about what's behind the vault like doors or mind your own business?<br/><br/>Note: Next update we will get into the Sea of Solomon and begin combat operations.
