XO's Log - Entry 26 - 6/17 - 1803 Hours

[sobershipcapt]

[Today, the Hagane returned to the Independence 1. But she was in absolutely horrendous shape. All of the weapons systems, the rear structure, and especially the engines are extremely bad off. And the last fold only made things worse -- it was, frankly, a damn miracle the ship was still flying

*Although Ennil had not known the man as well as other members of the GDF did, she was all too familiar with the pain she saw in Tetsuya*

You gonna be okay?

[sobershipcapt]

...Eventually. I don't think the pain of losing Captain Daitetsu in that way will ever fade away completely. But...I should try my hardest to move on. I'm sure it's what he'd want.

Tetsuya has that sub he stole though

[puru_gone_wild]

Anyone like the captain would want it that way. But take all the time you need.

[sobershipcapt]

I will. Though I intend to not take too long.

[urzu2]

Captain Daitetsu was a living legend, and that legend will go on into history.

[sobershipcapt]

...Yes. His name will appear in naval texts for a long time to come.

[urzu2]

We, on the other hand, still have a long way to go. You've got big shoes to fill.

[sobershipcapt]

Yeah... No kidding.

[cursedlikeyoko]

[sobershipcapt]

...

[cursedlikeyoko]

...I'm sorry.

This has to stop. Everything is just getting worse.

[sobershipcapt]

Thank you.

[driftingpersona]

Hey, lets go out on the town. My treat.

[sobershipcapt]

What? I...I couldn't ask you to do that.

[driftingpersona]

I'm not asking you on a date and the money really isn't an issue. Seriously, I'm just trying to do something nice for someone who looks like he could use it.

[sobershipcapt]

I see.

All right. I just have one request -- don't buy me any alcohol.

[wetnoodleguy]

Lee, that bastard... It's just not right that old man Daitetsu was killed by someone like him.

[sobershipcapt]

It's not right that he was killed, period.

1/2

[wetnoodleguy]

That's true, but the fact that it was that traitor Lee makes it feel even wronger. More wrong? You know what I mean.

2/2

[wetnoodleguy]

Poor captain Daitetsu... Did you know we shared a room? Well, with the age and rank gap it felt kinda weird at first, but I looked up to the old man like almost everyone here. And now, the room feels so empty...
