Deputy Captain's Log - Entry 27 - 7/18 - 0129 Hours

[sobershipcapt]

[Earlier today, if you were to visit the battleship hangar, you may have noticed that the Hagane has finally been removed and relocated for repairs. In its place is a very similar-looking battleship -- and if you were at Aidoneus Island, Ingram's betrayal, or Operation SRW, it will look very familiar to you

Not picking up his title until you feel like you deserve it? I can respect that.

[sobershipcapt]

Thank you.

[klan_klan_klan]

Well, Deputy Captain Onodera, any idea when your first sortie with the new ship's gonna be?

[sobershipcapt]

Not yet. Battle 7 is being sent to the planet Lux, but for now, none of our other battleships have orders.

[toocooltodie]

That's a good gesture. He seemed like the type of man I'd want looking out for me, even if just in spirit.

[sobershipcapt]

Indeed. He was the most accomplished ship captain in the fleet in a long time...

...And he was an excellent teacher.

[soylent_genki]

Wow...it's the Kurogane.

I'd say I'm surprised that Maj--er, Ratsel came back again and gave this to us, but by this point...

[sobershipcapt]

I'm less surprised now than I was when he turned her over to me. He wanted the Hagane's crew to be able to continue to aid the GDF, and he hadn't forgotten what I did during Operation SRW.

[puru_gone_wild]

I don't think anyone would have the heart to say you couldn't stay here even if the Kurogane wasn't here.

That said I have no doubt you'll do the late captain proud.

[sobershipcapt]

I hope I can. I'll do my best to not disappoint everyone.

[second_runner]

That's quite the ship. I like the drill.

[sobershipcapt]

That drill is a fearsome weapon. At one time, I was on the receiving end of it.
