Name: Misa Ayase<br/>Location: Musashi; Simulators - Pod 4<br/>Tagging: Open, Karri, Rob<br/><br/>Misa smiled nodding her head. "Well at the time Lazarus Corp. was freshly expanding into the Military contractor market and all totaled their space fleet measured maybe twenty or thirty ships. So cost was an issue. They sent the Hyperion along with the Girdy Lou as escort through what was honestly considered safe territory. Well they were wrong." she said answering why the carrier did not have any sort of destroyer escorts of any kind. It had come down to a simple matter of money and manpower. At the time they didn't have the manpower and it was just cost effective. Then her smile got wistful again at the mention of anyone who came to the rescue of the Hyperion.<br/><br/>"Who came to the rescue of the Hyperion? The answer is no one did. As you saw in the simulator it went dark and belly up. No there were only ten survivors of that whole mess. None of the crew of the Hyperion nor the Girdy Lou survived." she said taking a breath. "Of those ten people one of them is standing front of you." she said letting that hammer blow hit before she continued. "As for who came to the rescue? Well your standing on the exact ship that did it. The lead fighter in the group you led Lieutenant was my own fighter. I and what remained of my squad were the only survivors of the incident you just played through. In fact you may not have noticed it but the remains of Diamondback squad were wiped out moments before you picked up the three on your tail. Thirteen brave souls lost in an instant." she said shaking her head. Misa seemed like an old soldier right then and there despite her youthful appearance. "Walk with me Lieutenant. I want to show you something." she said to her.
