Nagato     It's a clear day out in the Hikari Seaport and, curiously enough, the normally always open hangar is closed. In front of it is a few girls with smiles upon their faces, "Looks like she couldn't resist." "Or maybe she wants a leg up against her." "Don't know but this will be fun to watch and take notes of." "She should be ready now..." "Didn't she just call a few people?" The Yugana Kaze's repair team is gathered near the door to the hangar and awaits the summoned people and kanmusu!
Rebecca Chambers Having finished her work early in the Bio-Research Center, Rebecca was more than happy to come to the port as asked by the Admiral. Whatever it was she needed, it was definitely a lot more interesting than sitting around thumbing through old science magazines for a couple of hours or so! She set out for the Hikari Seaport and arrived rather quickly. Upon arriving, she was directed to the airfield, and when she arrived, she looked for Nagato, hoping to report in officially and let her know she was there.
Yuna Kagurazaka Yuna wasn't really sure what Nagato wanted from her, but she heads out to the airfield as ordered, with Elner tagging along. Presumably she won't need her light-cruiser gear, but Yuna's in her SDP uniform nonetheless - mainly because that's what she wears when she's at Hikari Sea Port in an official capacity ... plus, well, she likes the outfit even apart from what it means.

She slows to a halt as she sees the repair team. "Ah. Good afternoon, you all," she greets them, bowing politely. "Uh ... Admiral Nagato asked some of us to convene here ... ?"
Kongou     It's not every day the Flagship calls her most flighty and humble of light aircraft carriers out. Especially with no planned combat operations and nothing involving the rest of the 4th Mobile Unit. Zuihou skips her way down the concrete pathway connecting the airfield to the rest of the Hikari fleet facility, sans her equipment, though that's rarely a problem.
    Stepping onto the tarmac of the airstrip proper, though, she comes to a stop, glancing from side to side. Rebecca and Yuna are noted immediately and she crosses over to them at a brisk walk, "Kagurazaka! Chambers!" Her friendly wave is raised overhead, next directed to the five girls, "--Weird strangers! Hi~!"
Nagato     It's also not every day that something new gets to be used. Midori steps out in front. She's pretty much a mid-late teens girl in a school uniform with a red lapel, indicating her class, along with green, shoulder length hair that's a bit mussy. "Some of you might have heard me on the radio. I'm Midori, it's a pleasure to meet you all in person. I think Nagato called you out for a specific reason, which is why we're here." a pause, and the oldest looking member, Nohan, ducks into a door in the side, "Miss Nagato, they're here."

    Inside the hangar, Nagato gives a brief nod and points to the door controls, to which Nohan readily presses. The loud noise, some screeching from it not being used much and, soon the door lifts up... showing off a swimsuit laden Flagship... and armor around some of her limbs in a red and white dual tone, almost... pecularly colored. (Ref Point: http://is.wikia.com/wiki/Rafale_Revive_Basic?file=%21IS_v08_07.jpg )

    Nagato looks between the Yugana Kaze team, Zuihou, Kagurazaka and Chambers, a firm, stoic face upon the Flagship.. and a slight rose tint to her face.. "Ahem. I called today for some basic training. Meet the Yugana Kaze."
Rebecca Chambers Rebecca was forced to cover her ears from the loud noise, squeezing her eyes shut for a moment. When the noise subsides, Rebecca removes her hands from her ears and looks at the Yugana Kaze. She seems to show a blank look on her face as she looks it over, then nods a little. "Very interesting. So we're all here to do basic training today? Sounds like a plan to me!"
Kongou     Zuihou tilts her head when one of the girls retreats into the hanger, though turns towards the doors in full expectation of a Dramatic Reveal. What lies on the other side, however, is not the new carrier aircraft she was expecting-- a slight droop in the girl's shoulders conveys the feeling of dashed hopes. But this is brief, at most, because something far more interesting is there. With a shocked noise, she points, "A robot ate the Flagship!"
    When others don't seem as surprised by this as she does, though, Zuihou takes a moment to re-examine Nagato's new armor from her spot, eyebrows knitting together in confusion, "Or.. wait.. Is it a new fit-out? Elegant Wind?" Her head tilts the other way, "...Did our Flagship remodel into a destroyer, I'm very confused."
Yuna Kagurazaka After waving back to Zuihou and greeting Rebecca, Yuna bows politely to Midori. "It's a pleasure to mee--"

The hangar door starts screeching open, and Yuna winces, her hands clapping over her ears to protect them. She does give Midori a sheepish and apologetic look for the interruption ... and once her ears have adjusted (and/or the screech of disused door-opening mechanism subsides, whichever comes first), she uncovers her ears, finishing her greeting. "It's good to meet you, as I was saying. I'm Yuna Kagurazaka."

She straightens up, then looks at Nagato, raising her eyebrows a little at the Admiral's new gear. "An IS, like Mairead uses? Huh ... so that's why you asked for me in particular." She looks at Elner, nodding to the robo-faerie - and a swirl of wind and light rises around her form, replacing her uniform with her Light Suit. "Which form do you need me in, Admiral? If I'd known you might need me in one of my other armors, I'd have asked Jiina and her sisters to come - they're starting on their way now, though."
Rebecca Chambers At first, Rebecca seems a little disappointed that she's going to be on the ground, but then she snaps to attention and salutes, dismissing the disappointment almost immediately. "Yes, Admiral!" She says respectfully. "I'll follow all directions as given without question!"
Nagato     Nagato gives a brief nod, looking between everyone. "Mmm. Yes, an IS like Mairead's." she points to the earring upon her left ear, "It's stored here." she briefly turns to Zuihou and, with the most deadpan expression she can muster, "No, I'm still the battleship." the expression lets up a bit, "Though, it does sound like a Destroyer class ship, doesn't it?" she places her fingers upon her chin in thought, tapping the armored foot, causing a couple of clangs.

    A turn to Rebecca gets a nod from the Admiral, "Mmhmm. Some aerial training would be nice. I figured with your help, Zuihou, that you..." there's a pause as a certain repair ship starts running out to the airstrip, holding a handful of arrows. "Akashi?"

    "ZUIHOU! I... huff ... I accidentally made something that you'll appreciate! A Shiden Kai! I was trying to make some land based aircraft and ended up creating carrier based! An... is... that Nagato?" Akashi blinks... looks... stares... and soon the Repair Team crosses their arms and shouts, "No touchy!"

    "Ahem..." Nagato sighs, "Yuna, you're the best at humanoid flight that I know of... and Zuihou, you're one of the best light carriers we have on base." she turns to look at Chambers, "And you, Chambers, I'd like you to assist Zuihou from the ground. Follow her instructions and I will see about getting you a radio operator's capability with Ooyodo."
Yuna Kagurazaka "Flight Form it is, then," Yuna answers with a nod. She's fought alongside Mairead, so she has a vague sense of what an IS can do in the air; still, Nagato's armor looks different ... there'll probably be a few things to set them apart.

She's still mulling over what the differences *might* be when Elner turns to look towards the warpgate - and then, with a brief flash of light, Erina appears next to Yuna. The blink seems to shake Yuna's attention free of her contemplation, and neither she nor Erina waste any further time in combining. The purple-and-white figure goes translucent and 'phases' over Yuna's form, then disappears; the 'wireframe' effect appears around Yuna, followed by the components of her Flight Form materializing and connecting.

Transformation completed, Yuna takes to the air, twirling a couple of times on the way up. "How well will your suit protect you, Admiral?" the blonde girl calls out. "Is it as effective as my Light Suit, or do I need to pull my punches, so to speak?"
Kongou     "Hnn~..." Zuihou glances from Nagato to Yuna's transformation, then starts and turns to face Akashi fully when presented with a new airplane. Too much is going on at once for her to be properly excited about this, and she simply holds her hands out to accept the plane gently while she processes it. After a moment, she glances down at the plane she's holding. The fairy sitting on the wing reaches out, flashing a thumbs-up with a wink. Once it's sunk in, the girl's face lights up in a smile, "--oh! New carrier aircrafts.. How cute~! Thank you!"

    Silver light glitters around Zuihou's hips as her rigging flickers into place. The plane she's holding, and the fairy, both likewise glow and compress, and she slides the resulting arrow into her quiver alongside the others, while she turns to face Nagato again, "Um, but what do you want me for, Flagship? Do you want to practice dogfighting with my airplanes?" She pauses, then suddenly bunches her hands up under her chin with a quick lean forward, "Are we practicing dogfighting with Shiden-Kai-chan?! I'd really like to see what she can do~!"
Nagato     Akashi grins, "I'm glad that you like it, Zuihou..." a quick turn to the Yugana Kaze girls and she eeks, "Okayokay! i'll keep my wrench away from it..." muttermutter. Soon, off, she wanders back towards the factory to do some more mad science... "I'll find out how to make that land aircraft if it kills my resources!"

    Nagato shakes her head and turns towards Kagurazaka, "Supposedly very well, I don't see that you would need to pull your punches with me anymore." and, with a turn to Zuihou, she gives a nod, "Of course then. I would like you to work with Chambers here as well, guide her as a second radio operator." a small device is thrown to Rebecca, it looks like a radio headband with a small antennae on it.. A small Type 13 Air Radar. "That should help you."

    Nagato looks back to Yuna as she takes into the air, nodding, "Shall we? I expect good things from this aerial maneuvers and training test."
Kongou     "Okay!" Zuihou straightens with a salute, then turns towards Rebecca, "I look forward to working with you~! Come on, though, we're gonna need more space!" With little warning, the shipgirl kicks off into a run, scooping Rebecca up in her arms as she dashes across the airfield. With one foot, she steps up onto the railing, and with the other, she leaps over it and out over the sea.

    The landing is less wet than the Agent might expect, as Zuihou hits the waves and accellerates like a roller skater, trailing motes of silver light. She's soon enveloped in a sphere of that light, from which a fully-sized flattop warship bursts forth, crashing down into the sea. Smoke belches from the side-mounted smokestacks as the ship begins to turn. In all the chaos, Rebecca has ... wound up on the flight deck, safe and sound.

    Though a few meters in front of her, the central elevator is already lifting a green and white aircraft into position. Beside the green Fighter symbol is a circle with a purple lightning bolt splitting through it. The engine is already spinning up.

    "Sorry for the sudden shift!" Zuihou's voice sounds over the ship's PA, "Did you want to ride in Shiden Kai? Or would you rather watch from there, miss Chambers?"
Rebecca Chambers At first, Rebecca seems a little disappointed that she's going to be on the ground, but then she snaps to attention and salutes, dismissing the disappointment almost immediately. "Yes, Admiral!" She says respectfully. "I'll follow all directions as given without question!" She is then called out over the PA by Zuihou and she says, "Whatever you think works best, I'll do it," She replies, hoping she can be heard.
Yuna Kagurazaka Yuna nods, "All right. I'll keep my attacks out of the 'could be lethal' range, of course." Although, she reminds herself, that also means that if Nagato gets disabled at a sufficiently high altitude, she may need to dive in and rescue her ... but Flight Form's weaponry is generally pretty light, so Nagato should have plenty of warning before anything that *could* knock her out of commission.

While Rebecca is gearing up and Zuihou is shifting into Ocean Fitout, Yuna readies the Matrix Divider - partly because she'll likely want it handy for focused shots, but also because she's not sure whether to expect melee from Nagato's new equipment. However, when everyone's in position and properly equipped, Yuna doesn't wait for Nagato to take the first shot; instead, Yuna flies towards the now-flying battleship girl, her left vambrace popping open as she opens up with a brief barrage from the rapid-fire pulse blasters, a fairly light dose of 'bullet hell' spreading in Nagato's direction. "Here we go ... !"
Nagato     "Could be lethal range, huh? I didn't think your weaponry... or you... had it in you to use heavier firepower." a smirk is given from the Admiral as she takes off from the runway, shooting off into the air as she hits the end, twirling a bit in flight. There... may be an audible 'whee' coming from the Admiral. Maybe...

    "Patched into the main radio system on base. Everyone, can..." suddenly, there's some pulse blasts coming her way, that quickly impact the already unaware Admiral. She doesn't look too worse for wear from that but in her own vision, the shield's have dropped some. "Mmm. Well. If we're playing that way. Zuihou, launch when ready. I'll dogfight you and Yuna." okay, there's the Admiral's confidence again, as a pair of weapons materialize forth. Small, three inch beam guns. They're like rifles just about and Nagato's got them dual wielded.

    "I'm not sure if there's a safety setting for you though..." she mutters, before sending a hail of beam fire back towards Kagurazaka, "Chambers, what are you waiting for, Zuihou offered you something, respond to her! Are you that unsure of yourself that you have to let others make decisions for you? Everyone in this fleet is able to make decisions when offered them and able to make decisions on their own... learn that and that will be the quickest way I will let you on a real mission."
Kongou     "Huuuuh~..." Zuihou's voice hums through the speakers, "If you really wanted to, you'd probably have jumped in without hesitating, so I'll send Shiden Kai up now." The brakes release and, with the engine at full throttle, the fighter accelerates down the flight deck. Right as it reaches the end, there's a brief drop off the edge before it ascends, landing gear retracting while the nimble fighter climbs, short jets of flame spraying from the exhaust arrays on either side of the engine housing.

    On the deck, a second aircraft is lifting into position. The engine, likewise, is spinning up, but the cockpit is far larger than that of the single-seat Shiden Kai. The tail marking is yellow, denoting this as a recon plane, the Saiun. "Just climb into this and I'll keep you out of harm's way. But at least you can get some good camera angles!"

    In the air, Shiden Kai rolls briefly, then dips its wings the oppsite way into a sharp turn, trailing mist from the tips of the wings, "I have the cannons loaded with paint rounds, just like practice! No danger, Flagship! But you'll look awfully green if you get hit too much~!"
Rebecca Chambers Immediately, Rebecca realizes the mistake that she made and if she could sweatdrop, she would really do so right here and right now. But for now, even though she's a tad bit on the flustered side, Rebecca salutes and says, "Yes, Admiral!" Before quickly making her way to Shiden Kai. It seems that Zuihou didn't notice, so Rebecca got in before it was launched. "Uh, I'm already here, now what?" She says over the radio.
Yuna Kagurazaka "You don't want me hitting you with the kind of firepower I'd turn loose on an Abyssal installation, right?" Yuna replies to Nagato. She's spotted the 'rifles' that Nagato's now wielding, and she's already going into evasive maneuver patterns - well, not really 'patterns' either; she doesn't want to be predictable. She *does*, however, launch a couple of further volleys from the pulse blasters, barrages of concussive energy bolts aimed as bracketing salvos. Her own aim may be less than ideal due to the dodgy nature of her flight, but bracketing salvos are meant to compensate for a certain amount of that.

As Zuihou starts launching planes, though, Yuna is starting to work her way closer, each swoop or jink starting to shave away at the range separating her from Nagato. If anyone looks closely enough, there's a playful little smile on Yuna's face - not like a hunter, but more like this is a game of tag than a training battle.
Kongou     Inside the cockpit of the Shiden Kai, the first thing Rebecca will notice is ALL OF THE CONTROLS. The second thing is the stern, tiny fairy standing on the control panel, staring up at her with an intense frown. Zuihou's voice crackles over the on-board radio, "Ah, so you decided to after all! Okay! Please leave the flying to Shiden Kai's fairy." The little fairy nods curtly, "But since you have a radar that the Flagship gave you, use it to keep track of miss Kagurazaka and miss Flagship while Shiden Kai dogfights them!" The fairy nods again, then turns around.

    While the little creature doesn't move or, in fact, touch any of the controls, the stick and pedals do shift and the plane banks sharply, pushing Rebecca into the seat. "Please alert Shiden Kai if either of them are about to get behind her, so she can evade! Radar on a carrier-based airplane.. I've never been able to do this before, it's going to be great~!"

    The Shiden Kai and followup Saiun are the only aircraft that Zuihou puts into the air, though. The lone fighter ascends in a tight spiral, rapidly gaining altitude, while the recon plane merely climbs to a few hundred meters and starts circling at a safe distance to observe the exercise.

    So far, neither aircraft has engaged the two already fighting, but the Shiden Kai appears to be trying to get an altitude advantage before engaging.
Nagato     "Understood, Zuihou, give her a good testing. She's going to be your plane from here on out." Nagato gives a brief nod and there's an idle wonder in the back of her head... does Chambers even know how to fly? She shakes it out of her head a bit and looks towards Yuna, "I didn't think you had that in you. But no, I'd rather stay above surface if possible." she attempts to joke back at Yuna as additional thrusters in her legs pop out and turn on, sending her flying... head over heels as she tries to recover.

    Shots fro the Shiden Kai end up smashing right into the Admiral, ending up coating some of that red and white armor into a 'lovely' shade of green... and right into her leg too. There doesn't look to be any physical damage but she's going to be painted green for a bit. "Nngh, shield's holding at least." she hmms, looking at all the stats in her own view. There's two aerial targets available and how does she shoot at the new plane without shooting it down. That's when an option flashes in front of the Admiral's eyes... "Ah, it's a dual gun? Wonder if it does training paint rounds." a twitch of a grin is shown as the guns start firing paint rounds towards Kagurazaka! At least one gun does. The other gun is trained towards the Shiden Kai... "I wonder, can I hit that..."

    Meanwhile, the Radar headset starts pinging and, if Rebecca can hear it right, it's almost as if a mental map is shown in her head with dots for the current air targets, with the center of the radar look where she is.

    It's not long until both guns fire the red paint rounds towards their respective targets, once Nagato regains control over her motion. Rapid shots ejecting from the twin rifles before she dismisses them for... something larger. Guns with five inch barrels. "I have to wonder how they developed this..."
Rebecca Chambers Rebecca listens intently to the fairy, not paying heed to the instruments and control panel right now, since she figures that's something for another time. She attempts to maintain a position that appears to be similar to standing at attention, even though she's sitting down, and when the fairy finishes speaking, Rebecca salutes. "I understand! Thank you for your explanation!"

Then the plane shifts suddenly, even though the fairy isn't doing anything. THIS catches Rebecca off guard, and she slams into her seat with a yelp of terror and surprise. After a few deep breaths, she's back to her old self. She nods, acknowledging what the fairy added to her, and she salutes again. "Roger that!"

Now a bit more stable and aware of what to expect, Rebecca attempts to communicate over her radio headband. "Testing, one, two. If this is working, please respond? Over."

She doesn't get a vocal response, but does get some pinging noises instead, and then, almost like a subliminal message, she senses the radar map that's being sent to her. It's almost like she can see her thoughts directly or something. "Map has been received. Over."
Yuna Kagurazaka "Yeep!" squeaks Yuna as Nagato starts shooting at her; the fact that they're paintball rounds is both a relief - even a direct hit shouldn't really *hurt* - and a slight concern, since any paint that gets past the Light Suit's defensive aura will be kind of a pain to wash off.

Still, Yuna was already dodging even before Nagato started shooting back, and she manages to keep dodging most of the paint rounds. One lucky shot hits Yuna across a wing, actually spinning her halfway around from the off-center impact, eliciting another yelp from the idol singer. And she comes out of it to see ...

Substantially bigger guns?

Training paint rounds or not, THOSE look like they're going to hurt if they hit. Yuna switches up her own tactics, letting the pulse blasters go back to standby, but trying to fire a blast from the Matrix Divider with - she hopes - enough force (and precision, which is the hard part) to loosen Nagato's grip on that big gun.
Kongou     Shiden Kai suddenly dips its wings, cutting the ascent into a sharp dive as rounds sail through the air where it would have been seconds ago. The fairy's eyebrows knit in concentration, throwing the plane into a rolling dive for just a few rotations. The roll is pulled out of, though the plane's dive is not cancelled out. It merely swoops into the dogfight between Yuna and Nagato, rapidly gaining speed.

    As it dives, the Shiden Kai directs its aim to a lead in front of Nagato's movement, opening fire with the rapid staccato of 20mm cannon fire. The burst is only a few seconds before it ends, and the plane lurches up slightly. This draws the crosshair over Yuna's flight path and the cannons hurl out a second burst of paint rounds before the plane suddenly pulls out of the dive, using its accumulated speed to try and escape retribution. A textbook 'Boom-and-zoom' attack from an altitude advantage.

    All with Rebecca in the pilot's seat, feeling everything a pilot would feel while the fairy, standing untethered on the console, remains as stationary as the controls themselves.
Nagato     Nagato mmphs a bit, these five inchers are really unwieldy now that's she's looking at it. And holding them. One dissapears, leaving the other one in two hands, "Okay, this feels slightly more comfortable." a cough is given and she starts to rush forward to meet Yuna head on, but the buzzing of another target catches her ears and she turns to look... and a staccato of shots zoom right by the Admiral, a few hitting and painting part of her green again and sending the Admiral into a tailspin!

    Those boosters fire off again and Nagato shoots back up, sputtering from paint around her face and left side... alongside Yuna's own shots that smacck right into Nagato's hand, indeed loosening her grip... enough to have her widly fire off a rapid barrage of very... very large paint balls in Yuna's direction before the gun just dissapears from view... and a couple of racks appear upon Nagato's sides now. Missiles.

    "Looks like I'm going through a full weapons test too. Paint missiles."
Yuna Kagurazaka Yuna lets out another yelp - more of surprise than dismay (or pain) - as the attempt to loosen Nagato's grip just makes things MORE dangerous for a critical moment; in response, Yuna has to cease fire, focusing on trying not to get splattered.

And even then, she's not quite fast enough or agile enough. One of the five-inch paintshells comes close enough that there's a flash of light from Yuna's armor - the Light Suit's defensive aura triggering to repel the force of a dangerous hit - and that's enough to 'break' the paint's shell; it's only a glancing blow, but it's enough to leave Yuna's leg splattered in red, the splotches running from her armored calf right up to her seemingly-bare thigh. The force of impact is enough to leave Yuna fifghting to take full control of her movements again ..

And then the missiles start hitting.

Amidst the bursting 'missiles,' the Matrix Divider is knocked out of Yuna's grasp, spinning towards the surface. Fortunately, it disappears (courtesy of Elner) before anything worse can happen ...

Apart, of course, from Yuna herself getting knocked out of the air. Most of her upper body is now covered in paint, and it might look unsure whether she was genuinely knocked out or just got too confused by her abrupt 'blindness' to keep trying to fly; her armor seems to still be intact, and watching long enough would reveal that her descent is, in fact, slowing - it's not an out-of-control crash. And a moment later, Elner transmits on whatever frequency's being used for the training exercise: 'Yuna has been 'disabled'' and is now out of the training exercise.'

She's also going to need a serious shower to get all of the paint off, from the looks of things. For now, once Yuna's feet have touched the ground, she reverts to the normal Light Suit - which takes a lot of the paint off her person, but distinctly not all of it.
Rebecca Chambers "That's one down," Rebecca comments as she watches Yuna go down to the ground, covered in a bit of paint. She smiles a little at that, but then rubs at her stomach and then her forehead. It appears she's not quite used to flying yet, and is getting a case of air sickness, namely feeling a bit of nausea and light-headedness. It's only mild now, but she knows if it isn't treated now, it could easily get worse.

"This is Chambers, I'm requesting permission to land for medical reasons," She says over the radio, trying to sound professional. In reality, she's embarrassed and ashamed of herself for getting sick like this, when she thought she had it made.
Kongou "Oh! Are you sick?" Zuihou's voice crackles. In response, the fairy shoots an alarmed look over her shoulder, then glances back to the matter of controlling her plane. The aircraft's wings dip and it swings down into a sharp dive, which is probably the last thing it should do while trying to tend to a queasy passenger. It's largely because the plane is trying to avoid the missile barrage, which is a lot harder to avoid than bullets.

    The plane shakes as missiles explode, spraying paint across the tail and the rear edges of the wings. In surrender, the Shiden Kai levels out into more lazy flight, banking in a far lazier spiral descent. Zuihou announces, "That would've blown the tail off, so Flagship Nagato wins! Missiles.. I really need to find a way to beat them. It's really hard~!"

    Compared to the dogfighting acrobatics, the Shiden Kai's descent is merciful, and the altimeter ticks down steadily. Until something happens. The plane suddenly tips backward, and Zuihou's flight deck disappears from view while the speed drops.

    There's a jolt, wheels striking the flight deck, and then a lurch as the aircraft's tail hook catches and arrests forward movement completely. If Rebecca expected a calm, soft landing, she just had a lesson in how carrier landings are done.
Rebecca Chambers "You might say I'm--" Rebecca trails off as the plane goes down suddenly. Rebecca gasps and puts one hand over her mouth while the other fans her face. When the plane shakes from being hit, Rebecca lets out a small squeal of terror. And then it begins to drop rapidly, almost like that Bugs Bunny cartoon right near the end. (INCREDIBLE, AIN'T IT?)

Rebecca closes her eyes and begins to fear the worst as she begins to wonder if she made a huge mistake doing this... then the plane tips backwards, and then there's the jolt, followed by the wheels hitting the flight deck, and finally the arresting hook catches the plane, bringing it to a stop. Once she's finally safe on the ground, Rebecca steps out slowly, finding her first step onto the solid ground a little unsteady. If one looked closely they could see spinning swirls perhaps over her head?

"I'm sorry, Admiral," Rebecca says as she tries to straighten up and salute. "I did the best I could but I..." She turns away, not wanting to risk vomiting in the direction of the Admiral. "I'll do... better next time..."
Nagato     Missiles fly everywhere and not only splatter on Yuna but also the Shiden Kai and with the declaration of Nagato 'winning' the duel-like scenario... she slowly descends herself, watching the Shiden Kai move to make that carrier based landing... and a smile. Looks like Zuihou really enjoyed that plane. "Hmm, I think with a bit more tuning, and a different weapon spread, this will be a potent aerial combat fit out." she nods, "Thank you, Zuihou, Kagurazaka. I got a lot of information from this."

    As she moves to the airstrip, she hovers slowly until she backs into the hangar... and onto the Yugana Kaze's own dock. "Alright. Adjust it please. She's in your hands now." and with a resounding "Yes, ma'am." the team drags the platform dock towards the factory for their time with the machine... and to send data back to Yamada.
