A Second introduction

[ugyuuya]

[1]

[After his last rather disastrous mission in Russia Yuuya had been re-routed to the Yukon base with Lt. Takamura, argos support staff, and the remains of the Shiranui Second. The consoles at UG bases are all tuned to the special reveal of the just what had been happening during that time frame.

With much pomp and ceremony the Shiranui Second Phase Two has been revealed. Tarisa is piloting the unit for the ceremony while Yuuya watches with Vincent from inside the hangar.]

[Upon return to Alhambra there are two of the newly revealed units, one with the rather blatant ceremonial paint job and the other with a much darker blue/black paint job. Exiting the brighter one Yuuya stretches and yawns as he disembarks.]

"Man, after all that mess in Russia and the rapid rebuild into phase 2 I'm glad to be back. Never thought things would be more relaxing at a front line combat base than a testing facility."

I see. So rather than going for expensive gimmicks, it is supposed to be a new generation machine, a prototype meant for mass production?

As expected of TSF developers. They are always being really practical.

The cannon was the crazy big gun from the XFJ project and with what happened to the core unit at the base it's out of commission for now. There's rumors of Yokohama building another core but the scientist in charge is somewhat eccentric from what I hear.

The politics of this project really are unusual, we have international rivals working together to shore up Japanese domestic TSF manufacturing with an American lead test pilot while other political groups encourage using US or Russian designs. It's practical from the equipment sense but I'm just waiting for someone to play a political card and what havoc commence.

The political situation is getting so complicated recently... it really sounds like it's only a matter of time. But I hope it doesn't happen.

I'm just glad the Glory Star project didn't come with this kind of complications. Or maybe it did, and I just didn't know?
