Well, Setsuna wasn't one to mince words. Michael knew that, but talking to him was another thing entirely. The sniper looked at him, then past him at the others, "Well, first things first. You I know, but I don't think I've met everyone else," he said in a congenial, breezy tone of voice. "I'm Michael Blanc, Skull Leader and Commander in Starfighter Command. This is my firing range - I thought you all might appreciate having a discussion in a secluded place." Of course, for being a firing range, one could barely see the targets hundreds of meters away.
"I'm here because we've received some information from Stacy." He held his hand out, and a device in his palm projected a small sphere into the air above his hand. "This is NiSaris, a pre-Bleed world near our location. Well, as near as you can get when you're talking transdimensional travel."
The image zoomed in to the asteroids in a slow, languid orbit around the planet. "GIA probes detected building Ohm activity here in these asteroids, and we believe it won't be long before they're ready to launch a full-scale assault in order to destroy the planet. Billions of innocent lives are at stake, and since Stacy is the closest GIA-affiliated ship, we've been asked to intervene."
He looked at the group, eyes slowly scanning across them to gauge the mood. "So we're taking the Quarter and jumping in. We're going to need every available pilot or," he looked at Feldt, "bridge personnel. We'd like your group to join us - the stronger our force, the more likely we'll save this planet and the fewer of us have to return in boxes."
