Prelude to the mission

[blackhole_sunattack]

Lets call it 3am, though time is questionable when you're in space.

Banjou docks at Star Rose with some noticable damage to Daitarn. Probably cosmetic given this is the Invincible Steel Man, but that's not the important part. Not all of his crew is present. Toppo and Reika disembark from the machine, then Banjou, but where's Beauty.


"DAMN! Damn Meganoids!"

What's wrong mr Banjou?

Did... even more tragedies happen?

[blackhole_sunattack]

Banjou checks Izuru's shoulder as he storms by. At first he's too furious to realize what he did, but he turns.

"Sorry kid.". And then he processes who it is.

"Not yet Izuru. Not if I can do anything about it, but the Meganoids got away with Beauty, and there's a ransom at stake. One I know they won't uphold."

Uwah!

[Izuru stumbles back.]

They captured your friend? We need to save her!

[blackhole_sunattack]

"Yes but... at this very second that's impossible. If we move to soon, they'll outright kill her."

[herodrawing]

Then what can we do?

[blackhole_sunattack]

"For now, we wait to see what move they make, or their plans for exchange. I'm not going to put people's lives in danger just to hurry and get a friend back."

That might sound cold, but it's the most reasonable, logical thing.
