Day 7 & 8 (March 27th & March 28th)

[GM Yuusha]

Day 7
Wednesday the 27th March, 3050. The Angels hear sporadic reports of Militia withdrawals across the Zone. Some listening in at the captured comms relay outpost confirms it. Practically all the Akos Militia have pulled out of Southern Akos overnight. In the early morning scouts report that Myron has been emptied. However, there is little celebration. The AFFC have passed on information that another company of Militia left Northern Akos for the mainland this morning too. That's bad, but the state of the Angels is worse. The mercenary force is now under strength. The battles the day before have taken a heavy toll on the Angels. Some recovery will absolutely be needed. To that end efforts begin to address the three primary concerns of the unit, as well as initiating salvage operations. In the evening a meeting is called to decide the next target. It would be in Central Akos. No doubt more reconnaissance was on the horizon. Planning for a funeral service for the fallen happens in the late evening, scheduled for next week. Regarding the weather, today is no longer cold. It's not really a warm day either, but a coat is no longer a necessity. Overhead, clouds gather throughout the day. By evening the sky is very cloudy and there are light rain showers.

Day 8
It is Thursday 28th March 3050. The Angels are still busy with various operations. Salvage. Ransom negotiations. Repairing mechs. However, the highest priority of the day is scouting the military sites in Central Akos. This happens throughout the morning and evening. In the early evening there is a small meeting for a unique task. The day is otherwise very quiet. Those Angels able to have some downtime welcome the breather. Tomorrow would be another strike on the Akos Militia. Weather wise the day begins overcast, but turns magnificently sunny and actually warm by the afternoon. The AFFC have data suggesting an electrical storm is due in a few days, with the unseasonable weather on Akos a side effect of the storm's build up. The next few days promise to be pleasant until it hits.

"The what now?"

----

"We really took a beating."
"We did, but we really pulled it off."
"Our employer better be really happy about it."
"I still don't know if it was a good idea or not."
"Blame that ex-Kuritan noble. He suggested the idea."
"I'm not blaming anyone. I'm just saying it was risky."
"I hear you. The Major had this concerned look this morning that I've not seen before."
"That's... not good."

----

"Muraguri died to the most freak heat shot I've ever seen."
"I saw the cockpit... I don't want to think about it. Any good news?"
"The Quickdraw will be repaired easily enough, so maybe someone else can put it to use."
"Maybe. Still feels bad."

----

"An ammo explosive blew up some of the insides of the Dervish. Lucky it had shot most of its LRMs."
"Same thing nearly got Tsai too. She wasn't so lucky though. Her mech... it's gone."
"Damn."
"And that Hunchback pilot. Same thing."
"Ezmeralda? Wow. What a terrible day."

----

"There's a funeral in a couple days. Mostly infantry going to be there. They lost a couple squads."
"Those security bastards at Budai were fanatical. They wanted to blow up the site."
"You're kidding me. What? ... Why?"
"Spite. Insanity. Who knows."
"We'll find out. We captured that Director guy. I hope the interrogation is rough."

----

"Can you help me with this?"
"WHAT? SPEAK UP."
"Can YOU HELP me with THIS?"
"WHAAAAT? I WAS FIRING THUMPER ROUNDS ALL DAY. CAN'T HEAR SHIT."
"I'll... I'll write it down."

----

"They're running with their tails tucked between their legs!"
"Yeah, they better run! We're coming!"
"Yeah we're... coming. Well, tomorrow. Or maybe the day after. We'll go after them then. Have you seen how busy the technicians are?"
"I work in the engine rooms, so no."

----

"And then WHAM-WHAM, she shot him twice more and he fell down."
"Sweeeeet."
"Yeah, took him out clean. Knocked him unconscious. She's a real fighter."
"We need more like her. Focused and precise."
"Hey, having a Warhammer helps."
"Do you think we could get the boss to buy some more?"
