The Mission 3/1/03 16:52 Ch. 1 Part 8 GSS Yui (GD-30) At 1845, the crew heard the cheerful voice of the Chujo come over the Announcement system again, "Attention all crew, this is Chujo Ketsurui again, hopefully this will be the last announcement for today. In 15 minutes at 1900, there will be a mandatory briefing for all crew in the briefing area. Again at 1900 there will be a mandatory briefing for all crew in the briefing area. Thank you." The Chujo ended the announcement and stretched a bit. She glanced around the bridge and she walked over to the communications officer, Aya, and talks quietly to her. "Aya-chan, I need you to watch the bridge with Arume during the briefing to make sure everything's ok. Do you remember what the mission is?" The younger neko nodded, "Yes, Ketusurui-sempai. I remember what Taisho Yui told us yesterday." Aya smiled brightly and Chi smiled as well. "Thank you Aya-chan, please let Arume know as well." Chi patted Aya on the head and went back to her chair to retrieve the computer pads to review what she was going to tell the crew. 15 minutes later, Chiharu stood at the front of the briefing room and waited for all the crew to file in, well, everyone except the 3 exempt from the briefing: Arume, Aya and Nanshi. Once the crew was present she set her computer pads down on the table. "Good evening everyone, as you all have already guessed by now, I am the new commander of this vessel, Chujo Ketsurui Chiharu. I want to apologize for the hour you all spent in your duty stations and hopefully, it will not happen again for a long time. Now, I have several things I'd like to discuss with you all before I tell you what our mission is. Many of you are new here and a few of you were here before I was, so I'd like to institute a few rules. Please keep any questions for the end. 1) To ensure the privacy of the crew and to keep the working environment more professional, there will be no co-ed nests, bathing areas or toilets. If there isn't a seperate nest availible then the minority may sleep with another department's crew if they are of the same gender. The starboard side of the ship will be the women's bathing area and toilets, whereas the port side of the ship will be the designated area for the men's bathing area and toilets. Any man or woman found in the wrong bathing area or toilet will be reprimanded and punished as deemed appropriate on a case by case basis. 2) I cannot stress this enough, if someone says "no" in a sexual situation then they mean "no". I will not have anyone violating the trust of this crew and anyone found doing so will be removed from this ship. I take this very seriously no matter who the persons involved are. I do expect you to report any cases of this to me when they happen. " Chi's gaze moved from face to face of every crew member as she spoke, never letting her eyes rest on any one person for any length of time. "From this moment on, my rules are in affect and anyone in violation of them will be punished, but with the sleeping arrangements, you have until lights out to get them fixed. I hope everyone finds my rules reasonable, if you have any complaints, you may feel free to discuss them with me after the briefing. Moving on, SAINT spotted a bunch of Angel ships, heading out into space. We believe they are colony warships which will turn worlds into factories that will be making starships and weapons which will be used against the GSA. And worse, that the ships may be after some discovery which would break down our way of life..." She watched the confusion on the faces of the younger crew. "I know that most of you have no idea what Angel are or why we are about to go to war with them. Six years ago, there was a War against Heaven and we won but it seems that they are back again. Angels, are a winged humonoids and they live in small transitory realms called 'Heavens". They're competent genetic engineers who create weapons called Seraphim to fight for them. They have a heirachial society ruled by the Archangels who live in wealth and luxury while most Angels live impoverished. They quest has always been to eliminate the Geshrin ever since we got involved in the conflict with Hell. The demons of Hell were invaded and conquered by a Heavenly Host and the people of the Earthly plane made an agreement with the Demons to help free their people from bondage and we succeded. This is what drove the hatred in the Heavenly Wars and now the situation today. We have been charged by the GSA and Taisho Kitsurugi Yui to intercept, board, and capture the angel ships. This is our mission and we will be on an intercept course after the angels' ships. Time is of the essence and that is why we are leaving this sector of space this very moment. If you have any questions, you may ask them now." Chiharu looked at her crew and waited for the questions to come.
