Lirath - The Coming Storm

[cityship]

 After receiving the warning the Tapestry had provided them, along the order to begin preparations from Councillor Kang, the crew had been getting ready for upcoming combat with the Ohm.

Unfortunately, the rather vague nature of the warning they received meant they had no particular way of knowing exactly when this battle would occur. Understandably, this put some of the crew on edge, but at the very least they had some prior warning that they would be facing the Ohm, rather than being thrown blind into such a dangerous situation. Combat drills, vehicle maintenance and armory inspections seemed to be regular sights for the week or so following Kang's message. Not much time to prepare, but the crew worked with what was given to them.

Eventually, however, the call came.

||Alert, Alert,|| Stacy called out throughout the ship, ||Priority One message from GIA High Command. All crew members please report to the Obs Deck. Repeat, Priority One message from GIA High Command, All crew members please report to the Obs Deck...||

Stacy kept repeating the message over and over until the crew began making their way towards the Obs Deck to receive the message.

[ooc: As implied by the post, we're assuming the crew's ICly had a one-to-two week heads-up about the battle. It was supposed to be played out, but RL timing prevented this from working out. Feel free to come up with the details of your character's preparations on your own

Also, as usual, please wait for subthreads to go up before tagging in.

Edit: It's up! Feel free to start tagging in!]

She gazed back at him for a long moment. For all the Argonaut and its crew and her Lotus Squadron and the rest of her diplomatic and military friends did so perfectly fine, there was something different in the safety she felt when she looked at Age. She nodded at him, hands in front of her folding one over the other.

"Mm. I shall do my best from here, as well." She'd need to focus that much more, to send herself out far enough to get into the midst of the fighting, closer to the Ohm. "Now that we know there is much we must learn about the Ohm."

"Mhm!" Age agreed enthusiastically with a nod. "Dhianeila has to help find the path for everyone, so Age will protect Dhianeila."

Everyone ... many people probably didn't have the mindset to ever think of it, but to Dhianeila, everyone also meant the Ohm. She remembered the feelings, the anger and the fear that they held. Now she had to find out why they felt that way. Why they've chosen the path that they have.

"Please be careful, Age."

"Age will come back."

Said with such absolute surety that only someone like Age could muster.
