“Mmm, Jake told me about you.” Yuki said, “He adores you and Platinum, spoke nothing but good things about the both of you.”

Yuki blushed at that.

“I’m Yuki, by the way.” She said, “Yuki Himekawa-Wolf. What are you doing here, Admiral?”

“It’s nice to meet you too.” Yellow replied softly.

Any other time, Yellow would have appreciated the praise directed towards her and Platinum.

But now, Yuki’s appraisal only felt hollow. Certainly, Platinum deserved that praise. But Yellow felt unworthy of it.

And from Yuki’s words, it appeared that she indeed did not know that she’d disappeared. Fair enough.

“I’m here on a personal matter. I’m sorry, but I can’t say more than that.”

As the crowd cheered, Yuki could feel the positive emotions soaring. Being a succubus, she had abilities similar to an Empath, and to feel the energy from the emotions, she felt empowered.

“GOOD EVENING, TERRA ANCORA!!!” She shouted at the top of her lungs as the crowd cheered louder, “Welcome to the first of my Multiverse Tour, one that I have named…” 

The banners came down, revealing the Lotus symbol.

“LOTUS!!” She cheered, the crowd cheering with her, “You can follow the Lotus Tour on all social media via the hashtag displayed on the screens above. Shameless advertising, I know, but why not?” 

The crowd laughed at her joke, and the screens displayed the symbols #TheLotusTour.

“Why Lotus, though, I hear being asked.” She said, “Well, I have a good answer. Lotus flowers hold a particularly special place in my heart. My husband always gifts them to me, as they are my favorite, and my oldest daughter is named after the very same flower… but enough about me! ON WITHE THE SHOW!!!” 

She smiled as several background singers and dancers appeared on stage as the music came on. As she sang, she dance alongside her background dancers.

Amarillo née Yellow sighed, using her omni-tool to generate a sound-blocking barrier field around them before she sat down in the offered seat.

“So you know me.”

Not surprising, if Wolf had relayed his encounters with her to his wife. Did Yuki also know that she’d left GDI? Perhaps she didn’t.

In which case,Yellow could play things safe when talking to her.

Yellow bowed to the members of her new party. “Likewise. I must admit I am new to Adventurer work, but I will do my best to keep you all safe.”

She met their gazes with her own, holding on to the collapsed Caduceus staff. “I am Amarillo. It’s an honor to meet you all.”

The Imperial Gunner nodded.  “Pleasure to meet you too,” he declared.  “It’ll be nice to have a new healer, last one we had wound up dying to some folks not being able to keep aggro.”

“My apologies,” the Daughter replied.  “I got so distracted on our primary target that I was unable to recognize the others.”

Yellow refrained from commenting on that last part. Evidently she would have to be a bit more active in her own self-defense.

Not really a problem, as long as her new friends played their parts well enough. Besides, thus far her sidearm had handled aggressors pretty well.

“Then…for the sake of getting to know each other better, may I ask your names?” she inquired.

Yuki’s mention of the Lotus flower brought on memories for the watching Yellow, ones that led her mind elsewhere.

The Tenno order had been dealt a blow by the disappearance of the enigmatic Lotus. The leader of the Tenno, now gone who-knew-where. It was a testament to the resilience of the wider Tenno organization that Lotus’s management of it fell to the Cephalon Weave with little trouble.

The ironic similarity of their situations wasn’t lost on Yellow. Here she was, disappeared just as the Lotus had. What had she to say in her defense for leaving the Initiative?

As the song ended and the crowd cheered again, Yellow looked up to see Yuki loudly thanking them. For a moment, the idol singer’s gaze swept over her area.

Now, with the fact Yuki wore glasses, one would be not be blamed for thinking she had vision problems. The thing is… she actually had extremely good vision. Too good, one would say, if they considered the fact that her vision would often cause her to be blinded easily. 

However, for picking out specific people, those eyes of hers allowed her an excellent view. As her eyes swept over the crowd, she noticed someone… one she’d never met before, but had heard about from Wolf. She’d only ever seen pictures of that same person until now. 

Fleet Admiral Yellow of the GDI.

How she had ended up here on Terra Ancora was beyond her. It had been five very long years since the whole debacle where the TD gate to GDI space was destroyed following the Scorpion’s Hand brutal takeover of Bouzaculan Space. Last she had heard, there was still a month before the Gate was fully rebuilt. 

However, it was best not to disturb the Admiral, at least in Yuki’s opinion. 

“THANK YOU!!” She yelled, “And Onto our next song, and then an intermission!” 

The music came on again, this time with a different song. This time, 3 of Yuki’s background singers joined her up front.

As Yuki had passed her gaze over where she had been, Yellow could not help but feel as if the singer’s eyes had been on her for a moment.

The healer shook her head. Even if she had been looking at her specifically, it wasn’t like she could prevent her from leaving the premises like any concert-goer once the show was over.

But in any case, Yuki had once again begun to perform another upbeat song. Curious yet appropriate that they’d so far been in Japanese, if what she recalled of Yuki’s ethnicity and media preferences was correct.

Very little was known of 21st-century media, and with the global chaos of that era so much contemporary information had been lost. Certain recovered fragments from Japan’s media archives had similarities to the songs Yuki was performing at the moment.

As she continued listening along, Yellow couldn’t help but smile thinly. Platinum, she was sure, would find all this fascinating. But she couldn’t face her friend and the rest of the Initiative.

Not yet.

“And now, time for a little break.” Yuki said, “We’ll be back shortly.” 

Once she was backstage, Yuki turned on her omnitool, and directed some security to Yellow’s position.

————————————————————————————–

One of the security guards came over to Yellow, tapping her on the shoulder.

“Yuki would like to see you.” He said quietly, making sure no one could hear him, “She wants to speak with you in private.” 

“M-Me?” Yellow was surprised by the guard’s words, but not overly so.

If Yuki had indeed recognized her, somehow, then of course she was bound to be approached in some way or another. She couldn’t hide forever.

In any case, Yellow knew that it was better that she get this over with.

“Alright…if she needs to see me then I’ll follow you there.”

“That would be exactly where we would go.” the AI remarked, turning to give the crew leader a look.

Said leader nodded. “Set course for the nearest Gate, then sync to Minerva Gate. We’ll be at Zephyr in no time.”

“Done.” The AI responded. “Firelance, I recommend finding a place to sit for the moment. It won’t be a long trip, but some time will be taken nonetheless.”

Firelance nods, finding a small crate of supplies to sit on. “Woohoo! Adventure!” Clearly she already had a preference for that. 

The journey to Zephyr must have looked quite strange and fascinating to Firelance, as the corvette headed for the now-repaired Trans-Dimensional Gate in a system outside Bouzac space.

The speed of the corvette’s FTL drive was incredibly high for such a small vessel, and there was only a brief moment where the corvette popped back into normal space, having already cleared transit authorization with the Gate’s monitoring AI. Without further ado, it plunged into the glowing, shifting wormhole that allowed any craft to cross universes.

It emerged out of the Gate within the Minerva system, just a hop and a skip closer to the blue gas giant that was Zephyr.

And to their intended destination; the Starbase that served as home for the Initiative’s now-massive roster of shipgirls.

Indeed it did, as it was a far cry from Firelance’s method of both FTL and multiversal travel. She looked practically mesmerized as she waited for arrival, her silence only interrupted by oohs and ahs.

Starbase Zephyr was a colossal orbital station, more a spaceborne city than anything else.

If anything, it resembled the largest of New Eden’s Citadel-type installations. If Firelance deigned to give the Starbase’s surface a closer look, she would have found rank after rank of defensive emplacements and weaponry.

All that meant for defense, of course.

But what the corvette was headed for was one of the massive shuttle bays. Slipping through the security envelope after the appropriate digital handshakes were exchanged, it passed again through the shield that held back internal atmosphere.

“We’re here. There’s a guide waiting to pick you up.” the crew leader said.

Given Tempest’s usual pride, it might have come as a surprise to learn that she was one of the last ships to signal readiness to the network. In her mind, carriers had the most diverse arsenal. If anyone would fire that weapon, it would most likely be Aegis, but it wasn’t hard to imagine someone like her being next in that line. Just the possibility of it got under her skin.

As expected, the combined mass of fighters was able to shred the weakened hostile vessels.

A series of new hostiles appeared, likely as a further part of the simulation. This time, they were a force of 6 carriers surrounded by 24 frigates.

“Hostile carriers, bearing 217-mark-49. Everyone engage ECM and ECCM, ready SPEAR grids. Reserve bombers until enemy escorts are down. If anyone’s got ECM drones, send them in. Frigates are primary.” Aegis called out.

Tempest quickly ejected two flights of ECM drones out of the porthole on the side of her rigging.

“Expect a lot more fighters. Let’s get some interceptors out there!” She suggested, preparing more bolts. She’d decided on an extra four fighter squadrons, and two interceptor squadrons as well.

“Frigates, cruisers, tac-jump in Cascade pattern. Ready SPEAR, fry any hostile fighters. Carriers, engage hostile escorts in 3…2…1. Mark!” Aegis’s voice called out across the battle network.

As one, several of the shipgirls, including Hope and Lumi, vanished from where they’d been, reappearing in a wide sphere around the enemy vessels. Their SPEAR grids blazed as dozens of needle-thin red-white antiproton beams blasted any launching enemy fighters into nothingness.

The two carrier shipgirls beside Tempest launched more interceptors and fighters as well, their gazes focused as information flew across the battle network and their own local fighter control.

The ECM drones Tempest and some others had launched came into play, jamming enemy targeting systems and making their other (simulated) systems go haywire.

Tempest tasked the interceptors to spread out and protect the fleet. At the same time, the Enact fighters turned their wrath to the frigate escorts.

In her mind’s eye, she’d split the 24 frigates into three groups of eight, and shared this information with the other two carriers. “One group each?” She suggested.

“Works for me.” the first replied. “Their targeting’s out of whack, so it’ll be a walk in the park. Ready when you are.”

The second took a bit longer to respond herself, busy managing the escorting fighter screen. “No issue with that. Fighters are status green. Drones clear across the board.”

With the enemy escorts in chaos and the hostile carriers having lost their launched fighters to SPEAR fire from the orbiting frigate and cruiser shipgirls, the swarm of Enact fighters was poised for a lot of assured eliminations.

Aegis was on hand for more instructions, her tone clear and precise. “Once escorts are down, turn ECM on the enemy carriers. Then send in the bombers.”

Tempest loaded three bomber-bolts in preparation. Perhaps that was a bit overkill, but it wouldn’t hurt. Well, wouldn’t hurt her at least. The enemy, on the other hand…

With deadly precision, the eight squadrons of Enact fighters she had currently fielded worked their way through the escorting frigates, their lasers lighting up the astral battlefield. With the chaos she’d helped create, destroying them would not pose much issue.

“Launching bombers now.” She dutifully reported, firing off the metaphysical projectiles. As per routine, the bombers immediately cloaked, where they would hide until ready to strike.

Despite their small size, the Enact fighters’ pulsed antiproton beams and light missiles dealt enough damage to the enemy frigates to destroy them.

Now the carriers were on their own, and with ECM drones tying up their sensors and targeting systems even their few regular weapons and point-defenses were of little to no use.

“Shields on enemy carriers are still down. Bombers, clear to engage!” Aegis declared over the network.

At last, her favourite moment. While she always loved watching Enact fighters dancing to the tune of her will, there was nothing more beautiful than witnessing the power of the bombers.

They appeared seemingly from nowhere, the ethereal shimmering serving as an unpleasant warning of the pain to come.

All of Tempest’s bombers had focused fire upon the lead ship. She even muttered a silent prayer for her enemy carrier; it wouldn’t stand a chance.

With the shields down on all enemies from the earlier torpedo spread barrage, that many bombers was definitely more than enough.

The bombers from the other two carrier shipgirls struck at the same time as Tempest’s, space being lit by the flares of drive core failures and subsequent detonations from the now destroyed enemies.

“That’s all of them, good work girls!” Aegis praised as the simulation ended and the surrounding space dissolving back into the familiar holodeck. “Alright, that’s a wrap for today. Tomorrow, we’ll cover some advanced uses of your weapons and tricks for short-range combat. Class dismissed!”

Aegis smiled as she looked at Tempest and the other two carriers beside her. Nearby, Hope and Lumi remained close to each other.

Tempest fell flat on her backside; the rigging’s shoes were less than ideal for walking, especially after being in zero-G. Fortunately, the rigging disappeared with a faint shimmer, and she got up again like nothing happened. No doubt she wouldn’t be the only one to make that mistake.

“So… what do we do now?” She asked.

The two carriers shrugged as their rigging also disappeared and the classful of shipgirls began chatting amongst themselves. “Guess we’re free to do whatever we like.”

The one to Tempest’s right gave her a small wave. “Anyway…hi. Nice to meet you, Tempest. GDS Far Dawn, Thanatos-class just like you. But you can call me Dawn. Sorry for the late introduction.”

To Tempest’s left, the other carrier smiled shyly. “GDS Adana. I’m…also a Thanatos-class. Guess that means…we’re sisters, huh?”

Judging by those words, it sounded like healers were in high demand. Not surprising, since monsters were seemingly omnipresent all across the planet.

Amarillo née Yellow nodded in acknowledgement. “Then whoever I join, I shall serve to the best of my ability.”

Here was hoping any party members she found knew enough to not go charging off aimlessly.

It wasn’t long before Yellow was given a party.  Most of them were novices, but they seemed to be functional so far.  The leader was the party tank, one of the Daughters of Astrid.  She was discerned by her Valkyrie-styled Power Armor and very oversized weapons, namely her massive shield and sword.  The other two were an Elven Mage and an Imperial Gunner.

The Daughter nodded to Yellow.  “Welcome,” she said.  “It is good to see a new face in the Guild.”

Yellow bowed to the members of her new party. “Likewise. I must admit I am new to Adventurer work, but I will do my best to keep you all safe.”

She met their gazes with her own, holding on to the collapsed Caduceus staff. “I am Amarillo. It’s an honor to meet you all.”

As Yuki had passed her gaze over where she had been, Yellow could not help but feel as if the singer’s eyes had been on her for a moment.

The healer shook her head. Even if she had been looking at her specifically, it wasn’t like she could prevent her from leaving the premises like any concert-goer once the show was over.

But in any case, Yuki had once again begun to perform another upbeat song. Curious yet appropriate that they’d so far been in Japanese, if what she recalled of Yuki’s ethnicity and media preferences was correct.

Very little was known of 21st-century media, and with the global chaos of that era so much contemporary information had been lost. Certain recovered fragments from Japan’s media archives had similarities to the songs Yuki was performing at the moment.

As she continued listening along, Yellow couldn’t help but smile thinly. Platinum, she was sure, would find all this fascinating. But she couldn’t face her friend and the rest of the Initiative.

Not yet.

A Gummi Shipgirl

“That would be exactly where we would go.” the AI remarked, turning to give the crew leader a look.

Said leader nodded. “Set course for the nearest Gate, then sync to Minerva Gate. We’ll be at Zephyr in no time.”

“Done.” The AI responded. “Firelance, I recommend finding a place to sit for the moment. It won’t be a long trip, but some time will be taken nonetheless.”

Firelance nods, finding a small crate of supplies to sit on. “Woohoo! Adventure!” Clearly she already had a preference for that. 

The journey to Zephyr must have looked quite strange and fascinating to Firelance, as the corvette headed for the now-repaired Trans-Dimensional Gate in a system outside Bouzac space.

The speed of the corvette’s FTL drive was incredibly high for such a small vessel, and there was only a brief moment where the corvette popped back into normal space, having already cleared transit authorization with the Gate’s monitoring AI. Without further ado, it plunged into the glowing, shifting wormhole that allowed any craft to cross universes.

It emerged out of the Gate within the Minerva system, just a hop and a skip closer to the blue gas giant that was Zephyr.

And to their intended destination; the Starbase that served as home for the Initiative’s now-massive roster of shipgirls.

Concert on Terra Ancora, closed RP with Fleet-Admiral-Red

As the crowd cheered, Yuki could feel the positive emotions soaring. Being a succubus, she had abilities similar to an Empath, and to feel the energy from the emotions, she felt empowered.

“GOOD EVENING, TERRA ANCORA!!!” She shouted at the top of her lungs as the crowd cheered louder, “Welcome to the first of my Multiverse Tour, one that I have named…” 

The banners came down, revealing the Lotus symbol.

“LOTUS!!” She cheered, the crowd cheering with her, “You can follow the Lotus Tour on all social media via the hashtag displayed on the screens above. Shameless advertising, I know, but why not?” 

The crowd laughed at her joke, and the screens displayed the symbols #TheLotusTour.

“Why Lotus, though, I hear being asked.” She said, “Well, I have a good answer. Lotus flowers hold a particularly special place in my heart. My husband always gifts them to me, as they are my favorite, and my oldest daughter is named after the very same flower… but enough about me! ON WITHE THE SHOW!!!” 

She smiled as several background singers and dancers appeared on stage as the music came on. As she sang, she dance alongside her background dancers.

Yuki’s mention of the Lotus flower brought on memories for the watching Yellow, ones that led her mind elsewhere.

The Tenno order had been dealt a blow by the disappearance of the enigmatic Lotus. The leader of the Tenno, now gone who-knew-where. It was a testament to the resilience of the wider Tenno organization that Lotus’s management of it fell to the Cephalon Weave with little trouble.

The ironic similarity of their situations wasn’t lost on Yellow. Here she was, disappeared just as the Lotus had. What had she to say in her defense for leaving the Initiative?

As the song ended and the crowd cheered again, Yellow looked up to see Yuki loudly thanking them. For a moment, the idol singer’s gaze swept over her area.
