Only seconds after her announcement, Commander Yashiro would only get one reply confirming the overall status of their predicament.

[quote=Akari Chiyoda][b][color=de3163][i]"Nope, I didn't see anything with all this dust here. Anyway, I'll be looking around and see if I can find anything on my end,"[/i][/color][/b][/quote]

Aside from her, no one seemed to have replied - either due to them still gathering their stance or through other means entirely. For every second that passed, she gradually became more uneasy. Everyone else seemed to not be following basic protocol; one for everyone to confirm their status when ordered to. While the scanners confirmed where the units were, it still unnerved her quite a bit. Before she could relay another message towards the units, Miss Yurei would suggest their next plan of action.

[quote=Akane Yurei][color=red][i]"We should focus our search on the skies. The buildings are mostly intact, so she must have flown straight up and flown fast. Maybe even into the stratosphere, far enough to be out of range of our scanners, where she could also travel around the earth quicker. With speed like that she could be pretty far already, so we should widen our search perimeter more than usual."[/i][/color][/quote]

Concerning Terrorkeet's and arial agility as a kaiju, Commander Yashiro couldn't help but to agree with the statement. Afterall, where could such a large being hide in a place like this? Still, there were a few concerns that she had to announce. 

[color=a9a9a9][b]"Indeed. We will initiate a rapid scan of a 10 mile radius."[/b][/color] she began before engaging onto her concerns, [color=a9a9a9][b]"However, I believe that the calculations in finding her by now would be less than futile. The kaiju will be far from our range and ahead of the game by the time we~"[/b][/color]

Just then, the command center would be bombarded by yet another deafening siren. Yashiro would raise her head as she looked back onto the monitors.

[b]"Commander~ Our scanners have picked up another kaiju reading from above."[/b] one of the operators announced.

[color=a9a9a9][b]"Is it Terrorkeet?"[/b][/color] the Commander curiously asked, who seemed surprise that they were able to find the target already - only to be sourly disappointed.

[b]"No mam~ it's from an entirely different one altogether."[/b]

Yashiro's pupil shrunk as a wave of confusion nearly overridden her systems. She focused her gaze back onto the main screens to see a shadowy object rapidly descend from the skies. It was clearly not Terrorkeet - for she was larger, sported a more muscular physique, and sported leathery bat-like wings unlike their target's ruffled feathers. Just seconds afterwards, the kaiju would make landfall, slamming itself onto a building which collapsed underneath its giant form. 

There she glared upon the might of the monster newcomer in all of her glory. And it was the last creature that anyone would've even remotely have guessed, expected, and/or wanted to arrive.

As panic began to set place in the command center, Yashiro could only watch as the beast began to leak vile energy from admist her gaping jaw.

[color=a9a9a9][b]"Impossible..."[/b][/color] she breathed under her teeth as her fists clenched with silent anxiety, [color=a9a9a9][b]"Of all the kaiju reinforcements, I expected to come... why did SHE of all creatures have to show up?"[/b][/color]

Just then, her comms would confirm the existence of another one of their units.

[quote=Kodama Koji][i]"Command, this First Lieutenant Koji,"[/i][/quote]

Patching through, she would immediately reply to him.

[color=a9a9a9][b]"First Lieutenant."[/b][/color] Yashiro replied almost relieved to hear someone else on the other side, [color=a9a9a9][b]"What are~?"[/b][/color]

[quote=Kodama Koji][i]"I am disengaging all safety procedures on the Juggernaut, chance the mech might power down after this attack, please be prepared to retrieve me. I also recommend we order an immediate retreat, I do not think we are currently equipped to handle the Dragon Queen."[/i][/quote]

It would seem that this message was sent in prefabricated, therefore Yashiro was given no direct response. She would then see the Juggernaut mech unleash all it had onto the Dragon Beast before shutting down completely.

[b]"Juggernaught is offline!"[/b]

This entire operation had fallen into the literal gutter. But the first lieutenant's suggestion was not lost on everyone in the room. In fact, Yashiro had already been planning this as early as the very minute before the Dragon Queen made landfall. She backed away from the main screen and opened her comms once more to reach every unit that's still linked to the network.

[color=a9a9a9][b]"All units, fall back!"[/b][/color] the Commander's voiced boom onto the comms with a slightly metallic overlay, [color=a9a9a9][b]"Fall back to central command and prepare to mount a possible defense!"[/b][/color] 

She'd then turn to the rest of central command and bark out her own orders.

[color=a9a9a9][b]"Ready our defenses and prepare for possible engagement with the kaiju."[/b][/color], the Commander's voice declared before turning to Miss Yurei, [color=a9a9a9][b]"Dispatch our rescue division. We need to retrieve First Lieutenant Koji and any other units who may still be trapped down there. The fight seems to have only just begun."[/b][/color]
