Re: Sigma-19 Production Meeting
After finishing a operations meeting at Ogashawa I launched in my Eagle into Sigma space. Afterwards I hear our Paramilitary over our GMG com channel, it seems they were engaged with Outcasts in Beta. A short while later Taro Katsuo-san and another GMG pilot cruise by at full speed, no doubt headed to Beta. I decide to hover near Ogashawa in case assistance is needed. What seemed like an eternity and after hearing one of our fighters was put down I decide to offer assistance. Some what reluctantly I headed for the Beta jump hole, it's been a few years since my last real fighter encounter. Holding the CEO position does nothing for honing fighter combat skills.
After transitioning to Beta space I immediately see several GMG craft blasting away at a swarm of Outcast ships. *a sinking feeling rushed through me* I broke my thought and hit thrusters to 100% to join my fighting douhai. I selected a Sabre and joined the tangle of gun blasts. After a few rounds on a Sabre I managed to lower it's shields then to my surprise a ball of nova anti matter envelopes my port side. My emergency pod ejects and mere seconds later I hear my Eagle explode. *adrenaline turns to solitude* I couldn't stop thinking, if only I had another round on that Sabre. Later a near by GMG pilot tractors my pod in to his hold. He mentions his guns are damaged and is enroute to Ogashawa. Luck continues to favor me.
An hour later I launch from Ogashawa's bay in a GMG fighter with good intentions to head back to Fujisawa. Once in space I see Kasugai Hatsumi-san hovering in his bomber. Then out of a gas cloud a Nephthys with a Interspace IFF cruises up and opens fire on my right wing. *another dose of adrenaline pushes through my viens* I snapped thrusters to full to evade this madman and lucky for me Hatsumi-san vollyed his guns in my defense. My scanners revealed civilian sensor equipment on the assassin's ship, this has to be corporate dirty work. A few seconds later Hatsumi-san puts him on the run. The assassin was no match against one of our best Paramilitary pilots. Immediatly after the Nephthys left scanner range two of our PM pilots returned from Beta, Taro Katsuo-san and Kako Shimakaze-san. Once we regrouped near Ogashawa an Outcast convoy loaded with slaves has the gall to cruise within 5k. Commander Katsuo and his men were on those convoys in seconds had their engines full stop. At the end of the day, MikumaMaru was called in to assist in transporting the slaves retreaved by our Paramilitary pilots. Commander Katsuo-san will enlighten you on the details. Needless to say I returned to Fujisawa on MikumaMaru. The Captains chair feels more at home then in those fighter cockpits. All and all a great days work and profit was realized today. Sake rounds are on me for any of our PM pilots. Next time I may use the halocom for our production meetings at Ogashawa.
