[b]— Chapter 00: White Noise —[/b]
[/center]
It may have taken years, but humanity finally found a way to prosper even in the face of the mysterious invaders from beyond our world. A small part of that is thanks to the new generations of soldiers trained at the many Tactical Arts Academies around the world. The greatest of such being the 2nd Tactical Arts Academy: Yamato, built after the first of its kind was destroyed.

It’s thanks to the existence of the Yamato Academy that the city of Neo Kyoto can be one of the safest places for humans to live. And one of the functions that the Academy has to fulfill is maintaining the web of passive defenses that protect the city from danger. One of such defenses is a small net of autonomous sensors that detect uncommon activities in the city’s outskirts, especially the districts that are yet to be reclaimed. And this is exactly where today’s mission is going to focus.

[color=007236]“Today’s mission is going to be a routine task, so I’m not going to overextend myself,”[/color] said [url=https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/2496012]Lieutenant Mako Isoshima[/url] to a group of trainees aboard one of the Academy’s mobile command centers — a modernized version of the V-22 Osprey equipped with jet engines instead of rotors, as well as a series of auxiliary equipment — while they were en route to their destination. [color=007236]“You are going to be replacing the backup batteries of a sensor array in the Western District, an abandoned area comprising most of the former Nishikyou-ku and Ukyou-ku wards. There are twelve stations in need of maintenance; their locations have already been marked on the maps distributed to each of your respective squad’s Linkers. Each of the three squads here will be responsible for four sensors.

Since this is not a combat mission and there are no plans to reclaim this area of the city anytime soon, I suggest that you avoid conflict with the invaders as much as possible but, ultimately, this a decision that you have to do on your own if you face them on the field. You have eight hours to conclude mission, which will begin at 10:00. Lastly, Squad Chaotix has been sent earlier as a recon unit, their report indicate light invader activity in the mission area, as long as you stay in the marker path and you shouldn’t endanger yourselves.

This concludes the mission briefing. If there’s any questions make them now, otherwise, you are authorized to begin,”[/color] she said as a soft shaking indicated their landing at a designated helipad and the cargo door opened, letting the cold, still air of the lifeless city filter into the aircraft.
