"You're here at last............ Taylor?
Taro stared into the sky with his open eyes wondering if the information brought to him by the comms machine might be some mistake. He did that for a while, but woke himself up to Marl's call.
"Wow, I know... Ume, can you hear me? Guests are here at last!
Taro takes a big, deep breath once and again when he speaks that way to Xiaomei, who was making adjustments to his electronics.
"" Yeah, I hear you, Mr. Taylor. I'll be right there. The operating rate of the additional equipment is recorded at 94%, so it seems that the operation can be carried out without any problems. ""
To the voice that returns from the comms machine, "You said!," said Taro. Plum's communication capabilities were essential in the hidden balls in the current match.
"Later, well, we'll just have to work on the production...... Marr, please notify me"
"Yep, ok...... from flagship plum to each RS1 ship. An EAP fleet made contact with the enemy. All personnel, combat deployments. I repeat, from Flagship Plum..."
Taran, who leaves fleet broadcasting to Marr and connects communications to EAP Fleet Command General.
"RS1 to EAP1. We received reports of contact with the enemy from EAP4. More details, please."
"" This is EAP1, roger. I'll send you some info right away... Mr. Taylor, will we continue to meet like this? ""
"Oh... I guess. There must be a hurry over there, and there's no reason to make war less powerful."
"" I see... Got it. This one works on that premise too. ""
"Nice to meet you. Leave the data link connected."
Taro answers to Lin across the radio and looks at the information sent to him.
"The enemy... breaks through the front formation from area A4. Many cruiser sized regular ships, or... Yang Dynamic?
When Taro says no from his previous experience, he shows the map of the peripheral universe to a large monitor. Area A4 was considered a close distance from the star Nipoli and unlikely to be chosen by the enemy as an invasion path. The heat of the star heats the ship and generates infrared light, which makes it easier to apply it to the target's radar.
"Thank you for waiting, Mr. Taylor. How's it going?
Xiaomei, who rolled into the bridge, leaves as she heads to her operator's position. Taro climbs a handmade slope and checks for plums that fit into the seat, "It's just the beginning," he says, glancing at the map.
"We have enemies in area A4. The total number is unknown, but I don't think maybe that many. The question is where the main unit is coming from...... in the meantime, say hello, Operator"
"I'll take care of it, Mr. Taylor... Data link, directly connected. Communication loss 0%. It's wonderful, what's a superlight speed communication facility?"
"Sora well, because I can't get on board... All right, all ships, move to area B2. Make your opponents tough and retreat as soon as you plan if you come into contact with them. If nothing happens, let's head straight to area A4."
Tailang manipulates BISHOP and sends directives to the fleet. Soon Marr will take over contact with the fleet and Taro will concentrate on calculating the coordinates.
- "Linkage overdrive activated" -
A bridge where blue light converges and regains color. At the same time as arrival, Xiaomei starts scanning and Marl checks the equipment.
"... no response to a wide-area scan, Mr. Taylor. No response to motion sensors, either."
"There are no reports of reactions from each ship. I think it's possible there's a stealth ship lurking."
"Roger... um, I don't know what to do"
Taro hands to the jaw and thinks. The quicker the reinforcements to EAP4, the easier it will be to fight, but you can't even look at it like you're missing a hidden enemy with it.
"EAP Nos. 4-22 and 24 are broken. Enemy E04 broken. Looks like the EAP1 fleet is headed for area D3. Stone Street, you will surround your enemies."
".................. I figured we'd see how things went a little before we go. Spread out each ship. We're going to find every fat thing, please."
RS1 fleet starting to distance themselves from each other, following Taro's instructions. Scanning from the Bulk position is enabled to find hidden enemies. As is the case with the directional scramblers that Taro often uses, jamming works most strongly against certain angles. So scanning simultaneously from multiple angles was very effective in finding stealth ships.
- "Fleet detail scan: no response" -
Scan results flowing to BISHOP. Taro stares at it with a serious eye.
"For now, is it safe (clear)?
"It's really hard to know where the enemy is."
"Totally... how much longer can our princess wake up?
"I went to sleep earlier, so I think I need roughly three hours. I thought it would have the same consequences as before if it hadn't happened."
To Xiao Mei's point, Taro returns a bitter laugh, "You know what?"
During my sentinel assignment a while back, I was forced to wake up Etta in bed for having a suspicious reaction. The result was scattered, and she could not demonstrate her abilities at all. Plus she went almost half frenzied and mad, and Taro became the feather to leave bruises all over her body. Phantom said that Sonnerman is more burdensome on the brain than a normal person, so some people can't do enough without organizing information through sleep.
"You're definitely going to be in a grumpy mood even in three hours...... Hey Xiao Mei. You think this is a coincidence?
To Taro's question, a silent little plum for a while.
"... at the moment, only as unknown. But I was wondering if it could be enough."
"You think Enzio was waiting for this hour? Sure, Etta's from over there..."
"I don't know if that's what they trained me for, but I'm sure Etta will be asleep at 21... after all, you're leaking information from somewhere?
The fact that Etta is protected by Taro is basically not made public to the outside world. From the other side, it should only be thought to the extent of 'If you do it, you have enemies loaded with powerful scanners', from which it is impossible to be sure of Etta's existence.
"As Xiao Mei said, we can't be sure yet. Besides, I don't even think the fight's gonna be over in three hours, and if we're gonna do it anyway, why don't we fit into a more important phase?
Marl tilting his neck upwards with his gaze. And "sure," Taro arms up.
"Well, if you have a spy, there's a way to do it... Wow, there's a chance that enemy reinforcements could deploy in area A4. Hurry up."
When Taro frowned at the communications he had been sent, he decided to assemble the fleet that had been immediately scattered.
And some time after the tarundas left as arrows of light.
There are several hulls that receive the light of the star Nipoli and glow dull.
When they exposed the open/closed engine thrusters, they slowly moved out to flow.
"Retreat! Hurry!"
Commander of the EAP4 fleet headed for the comms and raised his voice. He followed a predetermined operation and decided to pull off the fleet immediately after some shooting. The pressure from the front wasn't as strong, but as soon as the drive particle moved, enemy reinforcements were likely to arrive.
"Commander, the foot of vessel 24 has stopped. Looks like they hit the engine."
"... Damn! Hurry the escape! Lifeboat ejected!
"Drive particles, even more active. It's not strange whenever enemy reinforcements come!
"I know! RS1 is rushing us too!
A report from EAP1 reporting to Fleet Command said that RS1 is already on its way to reinforce us. It was still a while before the scheduled arrival time, but if the current flow seemed to continue, it was likely to hold up fine.
"Can't we capture the enemy's main force yet?
"I'm sorry. We're rushing the enemy, but we're being jammed by strong jamming."
"Well... I heard the other Expeditionary Army has reduced a significant number, but it should still be overwhelming in numbers. What are they up to over there?
The Enzio Expeditionary Army had reduced its number to about half of its peak time due to counter-insurgency operations centered on Taro. Still, however, it retained much more ships than the EAP side, and the expected battle power ratio was estimated by the Enzio side to be about double the EAP. As Enzio cracks ships with territorial disturbing molecular measures, the EAP has also been considerably taken into station defense. The direct attack on the station had created a great deal of fear for the companies based there.
Commander, it looks like RS1 will be arriving shortly.
Commander who leaks a breath of relief into his deputy's voice. As he circles his neck, he looks at the motion of the drive particles on the sensor due to the space reservation of RS1. There seemed to be no problem with that, but at that time he noticed a very puzzling phenomenon.
"When is Enzio's reinforcement coming? I would have made a space reservation much earlier than RS1, wouldn't I?
An enemy reinforcement unit that never shows up. But there's no doubt that space bookings continue to be made, and what that means is...
".................. Damn!! Is this fake!? Hurry up and send communication to EAP1!!" The enemy's drive destination is likely to be in a different area. Beware of deception caused by space reservations'!!
An operator who immediately communicates with EAP1 in accordance with the commander's orders.
That was the same time he sent the communication and a new space reservation occurred in the back of the fleet.
