Name: Misa Ayase<br/>Location: Musashi;  CIC Bridge<br/>Tagging: Karri,  Jeremy, open<br/><br/>Misa noted that Jeremy was getting the picture of this debacle of a mess out here in the blackness of space. All she could do now was sit back and let the fighters do as they do. She was in command now of all fighter squadrons on the ship so she had to think of things now more in a strategic mindset rather than tactics. That is until she got wind of some traffic coming in over the comms. "Patch me into that feed." she said to one of the techs. "Pilot what's wrong?" she asked.<br/><br/><em>"My engines are hit and belching fire. Weapons are offline. Ejection systems have failed Commander."</em>the pilot read back to her. That was the worst thing any pilot could report. The ejection system was a pilot's last ditch effort to get out of a bad situation. Which also meant most of his electronics were fried. From the sound of it the pilot was about to punch it. "Any chance you shut it down?" she asked already pretty much knowing what the return response would be as she said it.<br/><br/><em>Negative commander.</em>he said to her. It was like a punch to the gut for Misa, but she understood.<br/><br/>"Anything you wanna say Lieutenant?" she asked him. They all knew exactly what she was asking him. She was asking if he had any last words he wanted her to pass on.<br/><br/><em>"Tell Kaname I love her."</em>he said to her as Misa nodded her head. He then closed the link.<br/><br/>____________________________________________<br/><br/>In the blackness of space lit by explosions of a battle being raged around them one fighter who's back end was belching smoke and fire turned towards the Gatlantian light cruiser as he opened up his communication. "Hey you alien assholes! You think you know about dying eh? You don't know anything! Now sit back and learn from the Reaper what it means to die!" he said wild look in his eye as he armed the last of his missiles using a remote switch and turned his fighter and aimed it towards the last remaining gun turret on the ship. "If you are gonna die, die for the right reasons!" he said gunning his engine. Moments later the pilot added his fireball to equation, along with the final remaining turret on the light cruiser. With one act the lone lieutenant just increased the odds of his fellow comrades survival by a large degree. On the CIC bridge Misa nodded her head as she came to attention and gave the pilot a salute before returning to her duties as she watched the signal for the Lieutenant Ihlefeld go silent.
