[So, yesterday's mission went comparatively well. As such, one might think that after holding off near-singlehandedly a mechanical Cthulhu the size of a building, Kagura might be celebrating. You'd think wrong.
If you want to find her to ask her something, you'll probably find her in a very out of the way office at Alhambra, with a cable connected from her form to a computer, filling out the paperwork and debriefings like a prim and proper officer should. Unity Group may be mostly comprised of lawless mavericks, but some people still hold to regulations. She's still pretty scratched from the mission, but she can get her repairs later. Nothing vital was hit, anyway. Also, if you are very observant, you might notice the names of some of the people in yesterday's mission in the scrolling forms.
If you want to bother her, though, this is probably the best time, insofar as there is any good time to bother the grumpy Major]

[A bit later, you might find her talking on the comm in an empty room. The other side of the comm can't be heard, but deducing the gist of the contents from Kagura's reactions from the moment you're in earshot is not really very hard]
WHAT.
[Pause as the other side talks]
WHY WOULD WE EVEN HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT.
[Short pause]
YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS. OF COURSE THERE WERE GRAVEYARD EXECUTORS NEAR THE HACKED SUITS. I SENT THEM THERE TO HELP WITH THEIR DISABLING. HOW EXACTLY WOULD ARMED OPERATIVES HACK A HUNDRED POLICE SUITS.
[Very long pause, probably an explanation]
WONDERFUL. WELL NOT LIKE WE SHOULD CARE. JUST ANOTHER ANNOYANCE.
[Short pause]
I'LL KEEP IN TOUCH.
[And with that, she cuts the communication channel, before grumbling to herself]
I HATE MEDIA.

AS FOR PREPARATION. THEY CAN POP ANYWHERE, AT ANY TIME, SO EXECUTOR TEAMS ARE READY AROUND THE CLOCK. THE APPEARANCE OF A SHAFT CAUSES A HUGE MAGNETIC FORCE SPIKE SO WE HAVE SATELLITES TRYING TO PICK THOSE UP TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND QUICKLY. THEY REAPPEAR WITHIN THREE DAYS UNLESS KILLED WITH SPECIAL WEAPONRY, BUT SOME CONVENTIONAL WEAPONS CAN HELP WEAKEN THEM, AS YOU SAW. NORMAL ENERGY BLASTS RARELY DO MUCH TO THEM THOUGH. YOU WANT BALLISTICS OR NONENERGY MELEE.
WE EXECUTORS USE OUR OWN TECHNOLOGY. THE DETAILS ARE HIGHLY CLASSIFIED. [Which probably explains why Kagura has her own repair crew instead of letting the base's gearheads touch her]

[He pauses for a moment as he hands over the files.]
If you'll pardon an unrelated question sir, wouldn't it be easier to let the UG group's PR department handle those inquiries? It saves you time and headache and keeps there from being multiple press statements from each component organization. Of course you wouldn't be the first or last officer I've met who preferred to do the hands on approach, I think half of them did it just to have something to complain about though... [the last thought drifts off as Yuuya appears to be thinking back to previous duty stations.]

DO YOU THINK FOR A SECOND I WOULD BE DOING FUCKING RELATIONS WORK. NOT TO MENTION GRAVEYARD HAS ALWAYS HAD A POLICY OF NOT TALKING TO THE MEDIA. I WAS BEING TOLD ABOUT THE LATEST IDIOCY.
DO TRY TO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU HEAR BEFORE YOU SPEAK, BRIDGES, RATHER THAN AFTER. IT'LL SAVE YOU A LOT OF TROUBLE.

Well sir I'll apologize for the mus-understanding but in my experience higher ranks do eventually have more to deal with the media and politics. Heaven knows that Team Rabbits is pulled from fiasco to fiasco within the media without proper chances to rest in certain cases and Graveyard is making several policy shifts in incorporating into the UG forces so old policy may not be applicable any further.
But aside from that I was curious if you had any briefing materials on other know Prayers and their support units. We did well in the past mission but some behaviors were highly unusual like the ones that could jump on mid-air. If units were briefed on what we do know it could save repair costs or even lives with the negligible costs of time and effort to prepare and distribute the materials. I do believe that the command staff of the Argos flight is preparing just such a briefing to be distributed in anticipation of potential deployment against or invasion by BETA forces.
