“Gunsho Sato may I have some of your time?” Jack asks the young woman in a Devil Dogs jumpsuit.
“Sure.” She looks over Jack. “What can I do for you Sho-ko?”
“First off how is your PT going?”
“I finished that up a few weeks ago. Why?”
Jack watches the Sergeant as she walks around the room. “I know of a job that you would be most qualified for and hope you would talk with my wife about it.”
“Why would I need to talk to her about a job you think I am so qualified for?”
“She would be the one you would be working for.” Watching her he can see just the slightest hint of her injury she has.
“I work for her now, how would this be different”
“You would be working here on Nejiro.”
She stiffens a bit. “Are you telling me that I am no longer a part of the Dogs?”
“Not at all.” Jack holds up his hand. “This would be for a different project she has on going and can use the touch of someone that has been around a bit.”
She gives him a sideways look. “Around a bit?”
“You have traveled from Nejiro and have seen other places and peoples. You have a prospective that many here lack. We both feel that it would be of use with this project.”
“So what would I be doing on this project?”
“You would assist he who is in charge. Your insight of how others act and re-act will be of great help.”
“So I have to speak with the Chiji for this job?”
“It is yours for the taking she would just like to speak with you about it.”
Nejiro News 1
Due to threats to the court Nakazawa’s trial will be put on hold so that security can be improved.
HBC News
With the large number of threats made the trial of Isao Nakazawa will be put on hold as new security measures are put in place.
The Moro Sun-Times
Isao Nazakawa’s trial is being held up due to threats. New security measures will be put in place and the trial will take place after they are setup.
The Tarawa Times
We have seen reports that the trial for Lord Nakazawa has been placed on hold due to security problems. Or is it the government needs time to make up more evidence?
The Dakuu-orianyusu
Good people your voice has the She-Demon to place a hold on this sham of a trial. She needs to have her people make up more lies about a true son of Nijero! You have shown that she cannot have her will and do what she wants. People of Nejiro keep strong and not let this government keep you under its thumb.
The She-Demon still has said nothing of the bandits around Majruo.
Shin no wadopuresu
We have seen the reports that Lord Isao Nazakawa has been placed on hold so that new security measures can be setup. We will ask is this because this government has problems with the case it has presented so far? Do they need more time to “find” more? Or has the voice of the people shown them that they will have to watch their backs? We will keep you informed.
We still have not seen anything about the many bandit raids we spoke of. Why?
“Tai-sa Taka speaks very highly of you.” Meiyo looks at the young woman in front of her. “This is in part why I am offering you this slot. I need someone to help with dealing with the GSF.”
“I do not know what to say.” She looks at Meiyo. “I know that due to my injury I would be of limited service to the Dogs and would not have my old job with them, but this is not something I would have seen offered to me.”
“It is not just your CO’s word but your record as well that had me think of you for this.” Meiyo places a data pad in front of Gulia. “This has all the information you will need.”
Gulia looks over what the pad has on it. “Working with the GSF will be a challenge for me. I am/was a platoon leader this is way different.”
“Not that much. As a platoon leader you worked with the unit commander, the troops in you squad and you will be doing the same here. You will be helping our current liaison officer.”
She keeps reading the information on the pad. “Why at this time do you feel he needs my help?”
“He has done well so far but his lack of travel is showing and I feel that he can use the help of someone that has worked with people on and off world.”
“I see that the GSF dose have units from many different parts of the Sphere some of these groups they come from I have had dealings with.” She keeps reading. “I also see that the GSF also have people to help them with our local customs.”
“Just one of the reasons why you were picked.” Meiyo watches as Gulia reads the information. “You see more then what is on the surface. You will be his backup and help as you will bring insight to things Mr. Tekeda does not have or see.”
“I see from this he has some strict ideas of command. He is of the old school way of thinking.”
“Yes he does and is, but he will be informed that he cannot just tell you what to do. You will not be his office girl.” Meiyo hands Gulia a second pad. “This has what your compensation will be and direct contact numbers to Jack and myself, if you feel you need to do so.”
“I hope I will not need to do so.” She looks over this information and stops and looks at Meiyo. “I think you have made an error in what you are offering me as pay.”
“Why? Do you think it is too little?” Meiyo takes a sip of her tea to hide the smile starting. “It is a bit under what someone might be offered if this was not the first time they were doing this type of work.” She places the cup down. “I know you have given many years to the Dogs but you are new to this as you have pointed out.”
“No not at all I think it is way too much.”
“You have not worked with Elisio or the GSF either. I think you will earn every bit of it.”
“You will take command of the ground operations Adept.”
“But sir you are the ranking officer.”
“No Adept, I have other matters to deal with and you are the next in rank of the ground units.”
“Yes Sir!”
“I will see if I can some you can get a few replacements for the people that have been taken.”
“Thank, you sir.”
“Understand that the mission has changed and you need to adapt or you will end up like your former commander.”
“Yes sir, we will adapt.”
“Good. May Blake guide you. Dismissed!”
“Please take a seat Elisio.” Meiyo offers Tekeda a chair. “I asked you here because I have added some to your staff at the GSF. She will be your number two in dealing with the GSF units. She has worked with peoples from some of the different GSF commands and can give you some insight in dealing with them. She has also worked in a para-military unit so understands that side of things as well.”
“Why would I need some to help me, I think that with all that is happening on world I have done well working with the GSF.”
“I am not saying that you have not done well. I have added someone that has experience in areas you do not and with how much the different units that makeup the GSF have grown you can use the extra hand.”
“So this is not a replacement?”
“Not at all, she is to help you and work to keep all the moving parts working.” Meiyo thinks for a second. “She is not your office girl understood?”
“Hai!”
“Then that will be all.”
“So why do you have us at this point and not one of the standard points?”
“Well if we use a standard point the Droppers will burn a lot more fuel for one.”
“We are getting paid for this run or did you forget?”
“No but if we save fuel for the run in and out that is money we keep.”
“What if the locals don’t like us using a non-standard point? What if they fine the ships when that land? Then we lose money.”
“No I sent a message to the local space control and we are above board on this. From what the controller sent back we kind of did them a favor as they have a lot of traffic and the standard points.”
“Well just make sure that the cargo you bring back is worth it, that last load cost us way too much and we are still stuck with about half.”
“Hay look we get the right rock and it is all gone.”
“Right the right rock … so when are you going to find that one.”
“OK, OK so it was not one of my best deals.”
“Just get that cargo planet side and no big deals.”
“Take care with the asteroids we do not to need to hit one.”
“I’m doing my best but we are picking up some interference on the scanners. I have to keep adjusting our course.”
“I’ll bet that one of them larger rocks is all metal.”
“Maybe if we talk with one of the companies when we get on world we might get a finder’s fee.”
“Could be.”
“Can you get the GSF unit commanders setup for a vid meeting.” Tekeda will ask of the comms officer.
“Right away!” All the GSF commanders will be contacted and informed that they are needed.
‘I want to introduce to my new assistant Nogasu Sato.” Tekeda will inform the GSF command staff. “She will be working with all of us from this point on.”
“Arigatō Tekeda-san. I am Gulia Sato a former member of The Devil Dogs. I will be working with all of you as Elisio Tekeda’s number one. The Chiji added me to the staff due to how large you have become and that it was becoming to much for one person too handle solo. I am looking forward to having a more personal meeting with each of you as soon as possible.” The young woman with a very capable look about her will look to Tekeda and then back to the camera. “I look forward to working with you and your commands. I will be going over each of your commands files and if each of you and please send me the most up to date T.O. & E.s of your commands so I can make sure that what we have here is correct.” She looks over to Tekeda. “Do you have anything you would like to add?”
He looks at her and shakes his head and heads out of the room.
“Commanders if you can supply reports on the field inspection of the Battlemech and any information the prisoner provided on you last mission.” She looks at something off screen. “If you have any questions for me please ask.”
