Phase Twelve: ...And Back Again

[emorangerpink]

[The Chalice is still moving west across the Pacific when a few familiar faces arrive in the hangar, hot on the heels of a familiar ship heaving in to range over the horizon. The Nirvana's back to supplement the Chalice's mini-fleet again, and it doesn't take long for a shuttle to bring the three tourists back aboard, along with the supplies and

Well for one...

... Some dickbag from the Federation stole one of Celestial Being's GN Drives.

Those things they're as careful with as Colonel Jin is about the Getter machines? [Speaking from a mechanic's eye view.] I take it that's not good at all.

Yeah... those are the things. And we're following up a lead on them right now.

And fortunately... at least Setsuna and co. are okay. We're just trying to get it back before the Federation can reverse-engineer it or anything.

So long as having an example to work from doesn't make it all much easier. Or let them skip straight to making countermeasures... [Not that, in her opinion, Celestial Being's Gundams being rendered useless would be an entirely bad thing.]

Eh, having a room to myself was actually pretty kickass. Back when I was living in a hole I had to sleep in the same room as a bunch of different people; what with space being a premium and all. Actually having the whole place to myself was a great change of pace.

... I... might need to clean off yours and Lily's beds though. I was using a lot of extra space for tinkering with stuff.

[emorangerpink]

Ah, well, actually... there's no rush on that. We, um, decided to request a room of our own.

I thought you probably wouldn't mind, and it sounds like I was right...
