Aswan, to Confeito
Upon Eliard and the others return to the Aswan, they were greeted with a wink and a salute from Audrey and praise from the crew. They had routed the enemy and returned from their mission safely as expected. The Murphy team escorted the transport ship to Side 1.
“It’s not actual combat by any standard. That thing’s a tortoise. It’s like that, thanks to you,” the Commander of the Murphy team said handing over the Full Armor Hazel’s combat data to Audrey as he pointed to the shot up left leg with his chin.
After reporting to the bridge and being debriefed on their mission, the Murphy team was about be briefed with merciless orders from Captain Pedersen.
“Bask is going to undertake some kind of operation. The Aswan is to provide rear support. You’re to move out.”
“The Hazel is damaged, sir. It won’t be repaired in time,” Commander Murphy said.
“There’s a new unit that was sent out called the Hi-Zack. Take that out as a test.”
“Understood, sir. We’ll prepare on the double.” Murphy replied, knowing there was no way to refuse.
Captain Pedersen nodded in response, “Doing a favor for Bask isn’t a bad thing.”
Murphy climbed aboard the Hi-Zack. Eliard wasn’t fond of the designs resemblance to the Zaku of the former Principality of Zeon.
“Alright, let’s move out.” Murphy said, taking off without a complaint in typical soldier fashion. Eliard thought about adopting that attitude.
