[b]Sovereign, docked at Trading Station #42564[/b]
Mayumi sighed as she looked through the checklist that she had been trying to avoid for the longest while. Every single time that she returned to restock, she had to call for people to bring supplies on board, before having to go through the inventory herself and make sure nothing was forgotten. However, inventory checks takes far too long in her opinion, and was an absolute boring task to do so. Sighing once again in exasperation, she stood up. "Looks like I can't delay this any longer." While muttering these words to herself, she turned around, only to bump into her first mate. "Ah, Yuu-chan! Want to help me go through the cargo?" Although in a slightly teasing manner, Mayumi was sincerely asking for help. Which was why she was surprised as she was turned down with a simple 'No'. Noticing the expression on the smaller woman, Yuuyami smiled. "When I said no, I meant there was no need to." Seeing the expression change from surprise to confusion, she clarified herself. "I've already done it."

Mayumi stared at her first mate in utter shock, which was to be expected. After all, it normally took three people an hour, or a single person five hours. She had done in the time that three people took, by herself. "Why didn't you say anything?" However, Mayumi instantly regretted these words, as she heard the response. "Who's going to help a traitor like me?". Before their usual argument over this could continue, the main console beeped, notifying the crew of a message. Mayumi quickly returned to her seat, before opening the small holoscreen in front of her. Scanning through its contents, she beckoned towards Yuuyami. "We've got a training exercise it seems."

Her first mate also reviewed the message, narrowing her eyes ever so slightly at the word 'Sigma', before sighing. "We're a battlecruiser. We normally don't move in a fleet.", earning her the response, "It's fine, it's fine.". The captain turned towards her crew, before sweeping out her hand. "Alright, we have new objectives this time around! We are participating in a fleet operation, a training exercise, where we will perform surface rescue. Feed power to one of the warp cores, as well as the Discharge Shield Capacitors!" A high-pitched whine could be heard, as the warp core was charged up.

After a moment of delay, the battlecruiser disappeared, before reappearing in the system. "We're not the only ones Sigma recruited..." At the muttered words of her first mate, Mayumi glanced at the radar. Multiple other ships. All with GANS identification. "Courage, Phoenix, Riptide, Reaper, Ptolemy, and now us." About to patch herself through to the other captains, she noticed Yuuyami sidestepping out of the way, avoiding the camera. Without a single word, Mayumi grabbed her arm, before tugging her back to her position, standing behind the captain's chair.

Without further ado, the captain patched herself through towards her fellows on the other ships. "Sovereign, reporting in."
