| ~~~~~~~~Aouli~~~~~~~~~~ "Oh right, the dark skin." He said, then looking at his arm briefly. "No, I'm a fisherman." "Just like my father and his father and so on." "Been somewhat a family tradition, though no one was ever forced to carry it on if they didn't want to." As the lift descends it's quiet for awhile. Aouli thinks to himself on whether or not he should have them wear masks. He had already seen enough where he knew what was going on. Though nothing concrete, how would this mission change that? It wasn't like he had a camera and could record them going about it. Also he was already on the Shodo payroll so he was involved to an extent. Not sure which to choose and not seeing the big deal about it he speaks. "How about a third option?" He asks in a jokingly yet serious tone. "Let them decide what they want to do." He saw this as the easiest for him and the operatives. Which he was sure included Takashi and Mia. He was also a bit curious how they would respond to it. Would they simply decide on physical preference, or give his situation some thought. He pondered on this with a blank expression, awaiting the captains reply. |
 |
| "I'm afraid it isn't about who they are. Its about what they are and do. If you can actively finger point you'll need to know why its done, before drawing your own judgement. With the masks you can say who you think, but not point out." Crossing his arms, the lift hits bottom. "I will say this much, they are not criminals or mercs..persee." As it opens a long service corridor is in front of them, following it, the Captain reaches the Bulkhead and places his had on its wheel. "Last chance to turn back or reach a choice." |
| Sighing Aouli takes a minute to decide, staring blankly ahead of him in thought. Turning back now might work out but then what would happen to him. Apparently the shodo were keeping the cops off him with whatever "evidence" they had. Jail might not be so bad but on a charge of murder not so much. Then there was the matter of choosing masks or no masks. Apparently the captain wasn't about to leave it in the hands of the operatives. He could choose to protect himself and make them wear them. But how well would that really work? Sooner or later he would find out if he kept working with shodo right? Sighing once more and rubbing his hair in frustration he spoke. "No masks." |
|
| "Very well, they are working for the Shodo as its a supply deal, scratch my back we scartch yours. Given the growth of black operations, and..terrors you'll never read about, expendable soldiers were needed. Guess what your Friend Takashi is. He's been doing this work since he was twelve. I did it when I was the same age. If you ever speak of this publicly, you will be shamed, smeered, and made a fool of. Your family...well accidents happen. Don't worry we mostly use kids that come from poor backgrounds or hopeless futures. Me and Yamada both came from extreme poverty. So its a...good..social wealfair program?" Opening the hold the ship lays before them in a shallow pool, along the far walls are communications gear, a armory, and rows of small arms, torpedo's, mines, and rows of shells for a 30mm cannon. "Heh, you should see whats in our containers mounted aft, we are a...ah Q-boat as the English called it. So questions?" |

| Not expecting the speech or the amount of weaponry Aouli is a bit surprised. Taking it all in he looks around at the ship and the weapons. Imaging Takashi as the man on the news killing people and using innocents as human shields. It's quite hard for him to even imagine it, though what he's looking at makes it seem easier. "Uhhh, can I look inside?" He says pointing toward the ship. |
|
| Reaching into his left breast pocket with his right hand Isazmu retrives a kay with a slide reader on its back end. Tossing it over he nods. "Its your ship. I used to handle Ayame's old ship, This one is a bit newer, and I took a hand in her modifications and load out. She runs well, and is a good sub chaser, or Anti air ship." Something akin to a salesman he walks around the ship. "She carries 12 seamines a receased 30mm rotary autocannon, real easy to bring up, got it off an American A-10. Modified the firing rate to be a bit slower, Those squared Shodo Embeams are torpedo hatches, you have four to 6 of them. And there is a railing mounted 50. Cal hidden in the hold. She also has a towed Sonar Array, and SR air Radar, both systems are passive and active, turns on a dime, and has a nice speed setting. She can get up to top speed within a minute. And stop even faster." |
| Catching the key Aouli gets aboard the ship. Looking it over and spotting each feature Isazmu mentions. Having never seen any of it in person only in books. "Well glad the handling is good then." He mentions as he uses the key to get inside. Going through it he finally finds a majority of the controls. Recognizing most of them yet seeing a few he doesn't worries him a bit. It seemed to have enough room to accommodate fifteen or so people. Armed with everything Isazmu had said it was basically a small army. Leaving through the same way he came in he says "Should be able to handle it, though won't know till I get in the sea." "Still can't believe it's "mine". "What happens if they decide to replace it?" "No clue where I would put something like this haha." |
|
| "You won't need to worry about the weapons system at least, one of us will likely work it. Though with Ayame on board." Grinning a bit he trails off. "Well you'll seen soon enough. As to that, simple, at the bottom of the sea, or in some other multimillion or billionares fleet...ahh if you'll excuse me, I need to head back to the bridge, if that is all?" |
| "Yeah, if you don't mind I'll stay here awhile and try to soak all this in heh." He says looking around at the weapons and the ship. He really had no idea it was this heavily armed. "They weren't talking lightly when they said the mission would be dangerous." he thought to himself. |

| Headind into the hold after the Captain left, Eric notices the new comer looking over the ship. "Ach, You must be Aouli, I am Eric Hoffman, how do you like your Ship, Herr Kapitan?" Waiting for a reply, he heads over to the small arms rack to take in the selection of weapons. Judging by this hold, the ship could easilly be refitted for large scale landing operations. |
| "Hmm?" Aouli says looking over at the new voice. "Yeah, can't say much other than it looks nice really." "Once I get to actually operate it I'll tell you." He says with a smile."[/i] He noticed the mans accent and guessed he was either russian or german. "What do you think about it?" He inquired. |
|
| "It is a boat as far as I know. We German's arn't fond of the Sea anymore than it is of us, it seems." Stepping over to it and Aouli he shrugs. "Though I am half Japanese, so maybe I will have better luck. Its design seems stealthy however." |
| "Heh yeah, I believe it's plated in material that doesn't allow reflection." "So in essence sonar won't really do much for locating it." He says remembering what Ayame had told him about it beforehand. "I'm half Japanese as well, other half is Hawaiian." He says in a matter of fact tone. |
|
| "Ah, Islanders huh? No disrespect." With that he seems out of things to talk about as he starts back towards the weapons rack, grabbing a few sniper rifles, exaiminging each. |
| Curious as to what he's doing Aouli lets his curiosity go a bit. "You checking the quality of the weapons?" he asks. Unsure really why else he would be down here other than to see the ship. |
|
| "Ja, I need to make sure they function." Looking down the barrle he lays a rifle down and strips it quickly. "So why are you here, you do not seem a solder." |
| Watching him strip the gun in interest he forgets to answer the question. Though noticing him turn around and look for a response he replies. " Oh yeah... I'm no soldier." "Just the ships captain, I'm suppose to get you all from point A to B." He says looking at the parts that were once a rifle. |
|
| "Ach that is good you know your job, we should work together well then." Slapping the weapon back together quickly he adjusts his tunics collar. "So tell me you were in the fights, did you see Takashi's?" |
| "Sadly no, no I didn't." "I was in the match before his first one, against one hell of a girl." "We traded blows for about twenty minutes or so before knocking each other out cold." "I didn't wake up till the competition was over." He said looking off at no where in particular. |
|
| "Hmm I think I seen that match on the roster, shes here on the ship. I never for get a face, ja?" Hearing him talking about the fight he shakes his head. "I'm not sure I could call her a frau." |
| "Yeah I saw her get on the other Heli." "Frau, whats that?" He asks unsure what it means. |
|
| "Ach Germany term, more or less Lady." Finishing with the rifle he nods as if satisfied. "It seems no one I know seen his fite. I wanted to judge if he is fit for command." |
| "Oh..Tsh" " Yeah she would probably call you out on it." He says imagining what Rin would do about being called a lady. "Huh, didn't know he was in command." "Though I could see why he is." "He's usually always calm and rarely gets riled up." "Think a better way to judge him would be to work with and get to know him." |
|
| "Hmm..I would not know, I tend to avoid such women. They are trouble more oft than not, ja?" Listening to the rest he shrugs. "I would not know about any of that, his combat record is impressive, but that might be as his foes are weak. Getting to know him however..difficult maybe." Thinking on things and what he read on Aouli he yawns. "It is too bad he was not around with your incident..then again maybe it is good he was not." |
| "I wouldn't know about that, depends on the women." He says thinking on what sort of trouble Eric could be talking about. "Yeah it would probably be easier to just keep asking about the fight." "He's a tough nut to crack, seems most are just acquaintances to him." At the mention of the incident his eyebrows frown, though loosen slightly before he speaks. "So they have a file on me then." "I'm not sure really, though from what I've heard probably." Looking off again his mind trails back to that night. He didn't want to shoot them but it seemed like the only action at the time. He was still unsure if what Ayame had told him was true. That the man had died of complications along with his friends in a meth lab explosion. Though there was the one he gave first aid, he never learned of their fate. There was also the disappearance of Alice. Maybe he should have went looking for her. He thought she could take care of herself though where was she now. "Probably smuggling something for the Shodo." he thought bitterly. |
|
| Laughing a bit Eric turns to properly face him. "Shooting someone in japan, even in defense is a crime, plus your background and family debt, you were marked long ago, albit more as a hazard watch, than an Auxillery." As if reading his mind he shrugs. "The girl that was with you was transferred to operations elsewhere, she said nothing to you? Hmpf. Is there anything you would like to know Aouli? If not I'm not much for ideal chatter, I might go seek a piano on this floating target. Ja, seems like a good idea." |
| "Huh, really..." he says thinking about them having a file on him long before the incident. Maybe it was because of Takashi, or some other reason. He wasn't really sure though was more suspicious of Shodo's ways. Hearing him mention Alice he snaps out of his daze and looks straight at him. "No she didn't." "Operations elsewhere huh, well hopefully she's doing good for herself." "No, nothing at the moment." "Though I think I'll accompany you up, I hear they have a pool." |
|
| Nodding and setting the weapon back on the rack he shrugs. "I would not know how she is doing, but yes, let us head up top." With that he spins on his heel making way for the stairwell. |
