I'll come up with something sneaky - I'll just edit a few of my earlier posts to explain Misaki's absence as her aircraft still being down, and her being reassigned to a new unit or something. Minimal fuss that way, and there's no need to go out of the way and include anything in the upcoming post about it, allowing us to move on.

Esailia has been in touch and said she's temporarily unable to post, so her character will have a temporary case of being mute and ghost-like, but still with us otherwise. 

Post will probably be up tonight when I'm back from work, depending on how the other chores I have this evening go.
