Akihiko listened to the comm chatter and then said. "I concur with your analysis of the situation, Mami-san, Ryoko-san... whatever it is going on with the Clan Mechs in the FC Dropship does not sound good." He then settled his<em>No-dachi</em>into its bracket and waited until Mechwarrior Hatsune's<em>Nova</em>to settle into the bracket.<br/><br/>He soon exited the Mech and he saw her exit her Mech and he walked towards her and took a plastic red colored band and strapped it around her wrist, the<em>mon</em>of the Sanada family emblazoned there. He then faced her and said. "Mechwarrior Hatsune, from now on I am your bondsmaster and you my bondswoman. Unlike your clan however, I will not make you act like you are my Tech... I will allow you a bit of freedom, but I do not tolerate any form of cowardice or betrayal. Do I make myself clear?" The last part was said in a firm tone as he fixed a half-steely look on her.
