"Something like that." Yumeiko nodded softly, grim for the rememberance of the horror that was the Scourge. "They come in various sizes. Each Scourge is different; an amalgam of whatever parts and bodies it deemed useful for its purpose. The can be as large as a starship. At that point, however, it's a problem for the fleet or myself, not you."

Yumeiko gripped the shoulder that had been injured in the memory. She nestled herself into the larger fox again. "The enemies on the station shouldn't be as large or armored as that, but the Scourge are an unpredictable thing. I say that, but I can imagine an enemy unit might sacrifice everything just to wield a big gun we didn't think would be possible."

The golden fox slid her arms around the other again. "Be sure you come back." From that warm comfort, Yumeiko's face lifted to see the other, to hear that she would.

She would then look back at the station. "It's time." The golden fox would take Miyuki's hand and guide her to the edge of the room, where a staircase led down to the shrine cavity. From there, it was just a matter of working their way through the ship and down to the military deck, through the elevator. The room before the airlock was another equipment room, not unlike the arsenal and equipment room before the range and training room. This one, however, had a row of space suits, though they were all designed for humans.

Yumeiko took a breath, "right. The suits." She turned to Miyuki, looked at the gathered soldiers, and then pushed Miyuki back into the elevator. The doors closed behind them.

"Excuse me." Her cheeks tinged as she made eye contact with the black fox. She laid her hands tenderly on Miyuki's shoulders, and - in the same way she'd dressed her in stockings and those nice sandals - she changed her into a combat space suit. The cloth, the space around her just went [i]thp[/i] and she was in a space suit. A flourish of fox fire adjusted the suit where needed, which was in a few places. Like her tails. A helmet was held in her hand, which she held up for Miyuki.

She would then open the doors again. The wall of weapons available here was more forcused on warfare - there were no sasumato. The guns were mostly energy bolters and laser pulse rifles, not the metal throwers Miyuki had seen in the other room.

The helmet would provide a HUD. As the other soldiers put on their helmets, a status display for each of them would appear, along with their names and rank. An indicator would connect the HUD item with the person in the room. Sergeant Stratya stood by the airlock, awaiting the readiness of her team.

"The sergeant will be in charge of coordinating the team. Do cooperate with her."
